“I want one!”

One of my favorite things to do while at Mass is to watch people receive communion. Watching the Body of Christ receive the Body of Christ fascinates me, and it really resonates with me how we are all part of one living entity.

Yesterday, I was doing some people-watching while singing along to music, when a mother and her son stepped forward for communion. The child couldn’t have been older than 3, as his mother had him in her left arm as she received her Jesus. That, in and of itself, wasn’t remarkable. But what was was the child’s reaction.

“I want one!” he said. “I want one!”

“Shhh,” his mother quieted him.

“I want one!”

As everyone within earshot giggled, the beauty of that moment struck me. The child didn’t know exactly what was going on at that moment, and he didn’t care. He wanted to be a part of it. Shouldn’t we all be like that little boy, longing to receive Christ? We *do* know what goes on at communion. How are we less excited to receive communion than this child?

Here in your presence…

I was lying in bed a week ago, trying to fall asleep. I was, however, kept awake by a thought that just would not leave my mind long enough for me to settle down enough to drift away to my nightly soccer game against Demarcus Beasley, Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, and the rest of the US Men’s National (Soccer) Team.

That thought was about how other people affect my faith. I’m not sure if it’s exactly something that is supposed to happen, or is something that I just let happen, or what, but it is a fact for me. Sometimes, just the presence (or absence) of someone is enough to tip my spiritual well-being in one direction or the other. You know, it’s like, “I really am glad to be able to pray with this person today,” or, “I know how much she needs this. I wish she were here.” It truly, honestly affects how MY faith is doing at that moment, for better or worse.

So, I got to thinking, what if I am that person for other people? What if I am that person for some of you? My lack of presence at noon Mass could mean more than I realize, more than the hit that my faith has taken because of it.

I don’t know yet what my soccer schedule (the reason for me missing noon Mass so much) will be for this fall session coming up, but I want you to know that I try to make as many noon Masses as I can. Since I’m not the only goalkeeper on the team, I’ll even be able to miss some games if too many of them are scheduled at the wrong times. Even more, I’m willing to meet you for Mass at other times. All you have to do is ask.

If my presence is something that tips your faith in one direction or another, then I should be doing my part to make sure I tip it the right direction as often as possible. Because, as Father Jeff used to say, “It is good to be with you today. It is VERY good to pray with you.”
