Well, here's a link to that post. The sentence is: "Now, thanks to the passage of many years and the counsel of wise friends, I've grown to see it much differently."
I liked revisiting this post. It's a snapshot of a period in which God was doing a bit of an interior overhaul and, in the words of a good friend, preparing me for "the surprises of the Holy Spirit."
"But this morning, it reminds me of when I started back to daily Mass after a long, confused, sinful absence."
I counted the 23rd post in our Exultet blog (leaving behind my time at Santificarnos) and I was talking about another Mass attender who I overheard saying "This is the Lammagod!" It made me smile at the time, and she's still saying it now and making me smile.
This exercise in nostalgia reminds me that I am still going to daily Mass, still learning and growing, still learning to love Jesus through His children, and that I am truly His child.
Thank God!
