I think St. Catherine knows how much I long to defend the Church, as she did. I dream of speaking on television and wonder how I, I lowly housewife, will ever get my chance. So, today, on her feast when she has special gifts to give, she gave it to me.
I was walking into Mass at the Cathedral when I saw the KEYE television camera and reported. I wondered what the story might be, when the reporter approached me and asked if they might speak with me about the Bishop’s decision to withhold the Precious Blood during this swine flu scare. I was excited to oblige and was able to explain to the reporter the full presence of Our Lord in both species of Communion, the bread and wine. Later, during Mass, I felt the camera on me as I received Communion.
What a tremendous gift from my patroness! Now, she just needs to obtain for me a regular gig as the faith consultant for KEYE. Yes, I think that would do just fine.
Update: I just checked KEYE’s site, and here is the story. I’m sure I sounded more educated and reverent than that. I recall saying something about the “presence of Our Lord being fully contained in either species.” Hmmph.
Welcome to the world of secular editing. At least the Lord heard your response (as did the reporter and cameraman).
