Monsignor Pope Ping!
“St. Pascal Baylon (d 1592) experienced many unusual receptions of the Eucharist.”
“As an adolescent, Pascal was entrusted with the care of his father’s sheep. While on the mountainside, he would often fall on his knees in adoration on hearing the bell that signaled the consecration of the Mass. During these times when his occupation prevented his attendance at services in the church, an angel often appeared before him bearing the Host for his reception.”

Yet so critical was it to the Lord that we obtain the Eucharist, that He was willing to risk rejection and ultimately give up His life so that we could have it—a costly meal indeed!
As Catholics we accept God’s love and His gifts through fully participating in the Mass and the Sacraments.
