Our current priest is head of the Charismatic Conference in our diocese and some of the things he does make me shudder. However, he is quite reverent when it comes to the Eucharist.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717500353710337060.post-432124974985888292017-11-08T01:31:37.051-05:002017-11-08T01:31:37.051-05:00It's great to see you posting again, Michael. ...It's great to see you posting again, Michael. Welcome back.<br /><br />We have a similar practice in our church with the children first gathering at the altar then leaving to go elsewhere and read/understand the weekly readings. They then come back and offer at the altar posters and drawings of what they have learnt that week.<br /><br />Good point about the Consecration. Unfortunately, there are a number of Catholic priests who do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. And our Church is doing nothing about it.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717500353710337060.post-21834888159185370222017-07-24T11:50:00.196-04:002017-07-24T11:50:00.196-04:00It's great to see you blogging again, Michael....It's great to see you blogging again, Michael.
