In The Sacristy

I've become a sort of "Sacristan de Facto". (Actually they asked me.). Before several of the Masses, I get everything set up for the liturgy, the vessels, the wine, water and bread,  the lectionary and gospel book,etc. The great thing is I used to do this some 50 yrs. ago as a server, and before that when "playing priest," When I fill the plate with the unconsecrated communion hosts and carry it to the back of the church, I keep thinking::. The miracle is not so much the transubstantiation, but our gift of faith in this miracle.
