First, before morning Mass started, I felt the joy of just being aware of Christ's presence. Whenever I think of him, my heart is filled with joy. In today's reading from Psalm 51, the psalmist (David) asked God to cleanse him of sin so that he should be whiter than snow. Surely Christ could make me whiter than snow too—a joy for me. In the Gospel reading from Matthew 10, Jesus told his Apostles that in coming persecutions, the Spirit of their Father wouldl speak through them. It's clear that this Spirit is also mine, the Holy Spirit, who makes me see and guides me in the truth . . . my joy continued. Then when I received the Lord in the Eucharist, it reached a peak. All in all, a most memorable morning.
