"Immediately on seeing him, the whole crowd was utterly amazed. They ran up to him and greeted him."
Mark 9:15
Jesus had just come down from the mountain where He was transfigured. What did the crowd see in Him that they were utterly amazed? I know He is God but I can only imagine there was a glow to Him. In our own lives when we have gone away to be with God, a quiet respite, there is a difference in us when we return. There is also a difference in our spirit when we receive Jesus in the Eucharist. I may not always have the time to go up on the mountain but I can always go and greet Jesus when I receive Him in the Eucharist.
Dear Lord, I thank You for receiving me in the Eucharist, I thank You for the quiet moment of being with You and for the peace that it brings. Dear Father, help us see the importance of finding time to be refreshed by You, to steal away for that much needed refreshment in a world that runs amuck. Safe travels for family going back home, may they recognize the importance of faith. Bless this day Lord and keep us safe in Your arms. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, pray for us.
