It's Been Awhile

.On February 7th, 2010 I was confirmed and I am now offically a Roman Catholic. Many things have happened in my life since then. The main point I want to make is no matter what has transpired since I last posted in December 2009 the taking of the Eucharist for the first time brought about an amazing understanding in my Christian life. Once one fully understands that Christ is fully present in the bread and wine it becomes a very real responsibility on my behalf not to profain the body of Christ which is now in me. I cannot willfully sin if I know that it would also bring the presense of Christ in contact or union with my sin. In a crude understanding the Eucharist is a deterent to sin. I believe it is vital that the Eucharist be taken daily to perpetuate a holy life. Does this mean I will never sin again? Of course not, but the likelihood is much less. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ.
