I feel such a wave of warmth and Christ's love when we say the last line of the Lamb of God - "Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world. Grant us peace." I can't really explain it.
And taking the Eucharist and the wine, the body and blood of Christ, really fills me up, if that makes any sense.
There's another time, too. In our parish at the very beginning of the offering all the little kids run up to the front of church to give Father their gift of a little bit of money. All three of our priests like to sit on the steps at the front of the alter and gets hugs from the kids. DD is not yet three and not quite old enough to go up there in such a big church, but she loves running up and contributing. It is adorable. She's been known to yell "Mommy! Daddy! I did it!"
