Yesterday I read John 21, The Fishermen. Jesus appeared (the 3rd time after his resurrection) on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias. The disciples fished all night and caught nothing. After daybreak, Jesus in the distance suggested to them to cast the net off to the starboard side and they made a big haul. Then John cried to Peter, "It is the Lord!" On hearing it, Peter threw on some clothes and jumped into the water.
I love this excitement! Receiving the Lord in the Holy Eucharist should give you the same feeling, because you could truly yell out "It is the Lord!" right after consecration. Also, when you see God working every moment in your life, you can proclaim "It is the Lord!" continuously. A great way to be aware that he is there at all times.
