A HOLY PRIEST AT MASS

All through the Mass, I realized the need to beg God for His mercy for my sins and the sins of all. How God is offended by our sins! I realized, after Communion, I am a little creature and He is God, and He gives Himself to me. In this moment, I want to relish each and every precious second that I am united to Him. My heart burns for love of Him.

I hear the song, "…I scarce can breathe when You come into me." and sing, "Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how dear You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me."

Jesus and Mary want the priests to be holy. I feel the holiness of the priest, and it increases my union with Jesus for his reverence and holiness and oneness with Jesus is transmitted to me as he celebrates the Mass.

It is a power I feel in the offering of the sacrifice of Jesus to the Father. I feel His presence at the Mass, especially when a holy priest is officiating.
