Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

I neglected to mention that my oldest son made his first Holy Communion yesterday. I had such a lump in my throat that I couldn't talk about it.

My kids are getting older. I want another baby. And suddenly there's my oldest, kneeling down in a navy blazer and the hated necktie, ready to receive Our Lord.

Father's homily spoke to the notion that when sacraments are administered, time--or temporal reality--stands still.

It did. It really did.

  1. That is beautiful. I remember when my sons received for the first time. You are right. Time does stand still.

  2. Congratulations! My oldest is up on Sunday. I hope I'll be able to take it in properly, but I have a feeling I'll be herding the other kids in class at the time. Oh well...
