2 Corinthians Ch.5 V-5-7 Apostle Paul says,
"We live by faith, not by sight"
"We walk by faith, not by sight.: By "we"
he's talking about followers of Jesus.
This means that Christians should not rely
on their own understanding or experiences
to guide them in life. Instead, they should
trust in God's promises and guidance.

Have you ever thought about Mass and how
beautiful it is? Have you ever just simply
listen to the words and feel God's peace?
In the "Gloria prayer" the word "You" is
said (11 times) it's a beautiful and powerful
prayer that is said at the beginning of Mass+++
You can pray this prayer anytime you want or
desire.

How many of us have children and had
to spend most of the Mass in the back of
church or what we called the cry room!
We often find ourselves standing in the back
and attending to our child's needs and observing their
attention span.
Some may feel a little exhausted and lose sight of
what's happening in Mass.
Sometimes we can't even see
the altar, but we can hear what is going on during Mass.
We can hear the prayers, readings of scripture,
songs, and the homily of the priest.
Going forward in Mass, and praying the
Holy, Holy, Holy
we know
the Heavenly Angels join us at the altar.

The Mass has beautiful prayers in song echoing
among the people and throughout the church!
We as the people of our Lord are in unity and
waiting for The Transubstantiation: The Latin
meaning: The change of substance or essence of the
sacrament of the Eucharist during the Mass, become
in reality the body and blood of Jesus Christ+++
The church teaches it's a mystery "The signs of
bread and wine become, in a
surpassing understanding "The Body and
Blood of Christ.
{Click here: Transubstantiation/ The Holy Eucharist}
We know through the Power of the Holy Spirit
through his Priest transubstantiation is taking place. John Ch:6
____________________________________________
It's important to know that during the Transubstantiation
and the consecration of the Holy Eucharist the bells ring!
The ringing of the bells is giving our attention of the
Holy Eucharist at the altar+
We as a people can find ourselves sometimes being distracted or giving
attention to our children; until the ringing of the bells!
Christ pours out his blessings among all+
We are one bread and one body in Christ+
May Jesus Bless You All and keep you in
all of His Glory+
Lori Foster
Note: If for some reason during Mass there
are no ringing of the bells, we know when the words
are said by the Priest and the chalice is lifted up
above the altar that transubstantiation is taking place+
