How did Jesus do "it" in Scripture?
And how does Scripture tie in a Christian's ability to "know" Christ in their presence through the Holy Eucharist?
And how are Christians "without" the Sacrament in their worship?

I haven't had communion in over 2 months now. Before that, it was a good 4 months. That's a 1/2 a year that I haven't really partaken of The Blood & Body of Christ regularly.
Today, I spoke to a Priest. Even though I didn't go in to make my confession because technically, I can't receive communion now, after I shared my heartache at not being able to, he told me that he wanted to grant me absolution.
I choked up with tears and a lump in my throat and my heart welled up with emotion. I made my confession talking with a shaky voice and I received my absolution.
Maybe now, I won't be such a jerk online.
I'm sorry to anybody I offended, purposely angered, hurt or in anyway caused any uncomfortableness. I ask for your forgiveness.
Personally, I feel so much better now.
I will receive communion within the next few days and I will be whole again.
It hurts when I can't commune with God.
It hurts me and it hurts Him, but He wants me back and to be brutally honest, He's been blessing me abundantly. He didn't let me go. He didn't allow me to hurt myself. He kept me close to Him even though I was too ashamed to show my face to Him.
So, by the Grace of God, I got to speak to a Priest who actually wasn't supposed to be in when I dropped by.
God bless you all.
Pax

I get right with God and the board lights up.
