Subject: What are Mortal and Venial sinis |
Bible Note: Itiswritten, No offense taken. I had a similar experience to yours, but it was actually in a Catholic Church during a Eucharistic procession at the end of a Mass when a priest was blessing those in the pews he was passing. I felt something like an electrical charge pass into me and experienced an overwhelming sense of God's love and forgiveness. I was reduced to tears, with my nose running and without a kleenex in sight, which was something of an embarrasment for a grown man. For me it also deepened, enriched and transformed my Catholic faith in life changing ways. The priest had no idea what effect that simple blessing had had. A few years later at the reguest of a nun he became involved in a healing ministry and only then became aware of this gift that was already flowing through him in his ministry without him even being aware of it. More years later I met him again and was able to share with him what had happened at that particular Mass. He told me that if the nun had not needed a priest for her ministry team and had not drafted him, he might never have known. God does work in mysterious ways. Emmaus |
