First Friday

It is the practice in my home parish to have Adoration on First Fridays,  after Mass.
Today, I had to be out of town and lamented to a friend that I would miss First Friday Adoration.
Oh, how wonderful the Lord rewards us when we try to meet Him.
I made the effort to attend Mass in the community where I was going to be, thinking how sweet it would be to receive our Lord, even if I couldn't be in Adoration.
Praise God for His most gracious bounty!
Not only does the community I am visiting also hold Adoration on First Fridays, anyone needing to receive the Anointing of the Sick was called forward.
God is so good!
I thank you and praise you, Lord. Not only for your gifts to me, but also just for the Gift of yourself for all in the world, that we might be redeemed and forgiven.
