My favorite part of the Mass is when before we receive the Eucharist...'Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say that word, and I shall be healed'. It is in knowing full well, that I am not worthy, and that He comes and lays his body and blood before us...to take in exquiste love, that the awe of 'its' presence and my partaking in it...(soooo lovingly given, so never earned), that I bow my head and take it in great solemnity and mystery.
I also take the 'I shall be healed' very seriously and pray for what I need before I have communion and also offer it up for souls.
Just walking around the pews and up the aisle is a time of great contemplation, mystery and thanksgiving. I feel overjoyed and thankful that Christ has again, come into my heart, and to kneel in that experience that we have just 'taken and eaten' is beyond measure of my understanding and language to use.
