There are few absolutes in life; not Earthly ones anyway. God fully present in the Eucharist-that’s one absolute. It has been a month and sixteen days since I’ve received Communion. To experience a Sacramental separation from God has been profound. It’ll be weird tomorrow, going to Mass with a mask on. Who cares though? Normal is overrated. 🙂
Becoming Catholic in 2010 will always be the greatest decision of my life. People often tell me I’m brave or some exceptional person. That it’s a miracle I’ve survived all these months and years. Not really. The big guy is in the miracle business. I’m not sure what caused me to get so ill last December. Maybe it was my shunt, multiple cases of the flu, Covid 19, or all of the above. Things have certainly gotten harder and then way harder before they’ve gotten better. Who knows? But Daily Mass, prayer, and a whole lot of scrappiness have given me a second chance to, as Lindsey the speech therapist said, “allow myself to dream big.” What a concept. ❤️
