“As I
sit on the pew in front of the altar, I am so filled with joy and peace. I hear
the sounds of prayer; words of love fervently sent up to You - words in
Spanish, whispers in English, and the sound of silent prayer. Yes, even silent
prayer has a sound - a faint presence of something on the air. It doesn’t
matter what language or form the prayers take, they are united in Your love,
inflamed by the Holy Spirit. It is the language of holy love.
“Our
priest said that during mass, we are in a part of heaven. I always wonder what
heaven is like. Today, I felt the presence of angels, saints, holy beings
gathered with us around You at the altar. I could sense the joy and love from
all, praising God the Father and Jesus the Son, together with the Holy Spirit
which seemed like a light illuminating the altar. I was so filled with pure
joy, my heart felt like it was bursting out of my body. I could barely contain
the joy.
“Oh Lord, You give me such joy.
There is nothing else like it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. How could I
have missed this all these years? I can hardly wait for mass tomorrow – it’s
another chance to steal a moment in heaven.”
