I\u2019ve said before that when we receive the Eucharist in the Mass and when we are in Jesus\u2019s presence, we ought to do so with reverence, silence, and love. It\u2019s not an easy thing, though, because we are always in a rush. We rush through traffic to get to work. We grumble when we have to wait in a line. We fast forward through pre-recorded programs of our favorite shows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What we actually make time for says a lot about what we love. We may wish for the Mass to be short, but we\u2019d gladly sit and watch a football game for however long it lasts or watch the Oscars as they drag on past the four-hour allotted time and heck, even watch the red carpet before the awards start. So why is it so hard for us to give our time to the creator of time?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/heartofmarywf.squarespace.com\/blog\/2015\/8\/25\/eucharist-day-14-the-eucharist-brings-us-peace\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Go read the rest here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An excerpt: \u201cNever be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.
