“Finish it.”

Tuesday, Aug 13th, was the first time I received the blood of Christ.

Something was calling my heart during the 630pm mass at St. John’s Cantius to go ahead and receive the blood of Christ.

My heart was yearning for it, wanting to experience and celebrate the mass in a whole different level in faith. Why only now? I’m not sure. I think I was scared, too prideful and was not conscious of Him.

Right when the wine hit my lips, my whole being was uplifted and my heart was filled with overwhelming joy. Lord, you are so good. Thank you for loving me and wanting me to have more of you.

This morning, I was able to attend mass at 12:10pm at St. Mary’s Cathedral, and again I was yearning for the body and blood of Christ.

After I received the body of Christ, I lined up for the blood.

The Eucharistic minister said, “the blood of Christ,” and since I was the last person she then whispered, “…make sure you finish it.”

IT HIT ME… THE LORD SPOKE TO ME and WAS OFFERING HIS BLOOD FOR ME PERSONALLY TO FINISH IT!

SIGGGGGHHHHH.

AT that moment, after receiving the blood of Christ, my heart was again overwhelmed with so much joy. I again felt God’s love soooo eminently and while walking back to my pew, I had the biggest smile on my face.

The Lord spoke to me personally and touched my heart so gently, but powerfully saying,

“My child, seek me, find me, yearn for me, and I will give you all of me.”

Wow. Lord you are sooo amazing. You are above all and the most important thing in my life and thank you Mother Mary for bringing me to your son to receive.

May God be Praised.
