FIRST COMMUNION

There seems to be something magical about people receiving their first communion.  Young or old, they seem to grasp the mystery and wonderment of the sacrament.  The unfortunate thing is, as time goes on we tend to lose some of this and almost take it forgranted.  In fact, I think many folks walk down to communion without putting any thought in at all.  Our body senses others standing up and moving and off we go!  What would happen if we took a moment and remembered the gift we were about to receive?   Perhaps another question is do we allow ourselves to be transformed after receiving the sacrament?
