A thought as we receive the Sacred Host –
“Amen” is our response as we receive the host at
Communion. The translation of Amen is:
Truly, firm, so be it.
As we receive the host, we firmly believe that we receive
The Body of Christ.
Jesus truly enters our hearts so that we may become what
We receive.
