First, Last, Only Communion

4th Sunday of Easter

Congratulations to all of our students who received their First Holy Communion this weekend!  There is an exhortation for priests that says, “O Priest of Jesus Christ, celebrate this Holy Mass as if it were your First Mass, your Last Mass, your Only Mass.”  Whether you’ve been receiving the Eucharist for 1 year or 100 years, whether you’re young or old, I challenge you at every Mass you attend to make that exhortation your own: attend that Mass as if it were your first Mass, your last Mass, your only Mass; and receive Communion as if it were your first Communion, your last Communion, your only Communion.
