Return

Dear Parish Family,
In my reading I recently came across an article from the Cathedral of St. Paul in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin which I found to be particularly eloquent and wish to share with you.

WHY I COME TO THE ALTAR OF GOD

I come, not because I am worthy, but because I have
sinned and fallen short of what, by God's help, I might
have been.

I come, not that there is any magic in partaking of Christ's
body and blood, but because of the Lord's command,
"Do this in remembrance of me."

I come, because Christ bids me come. It is His table
and He invites me.

I come, because here is portrayed the sacrifice of my
Lord who gave Himself for me.

I come, because I find myself drawn closer to God, the
Christ of Calvary, and to those who kneel with me at Holy
Communion. Yes, I am made to feel my kinship to all
those everywhere who proclaim Christ as Savior.

I come, because I rise from the Lord's Table with a new
strength, courage, and power to live for Him, who died
for me.

Yours in Christ,
Suzanne
