As I keep saying:  Many push away from themselves their heart's greatest desires without recognizing HIM in the breaking of bread with others..
 
They ask with their hands clinched in fists to fight and press off opportunities to give and thus with their hands and hearts closed in either hostility or self-justified self righteousness....
 
With same action cut themselves off from friendship and God's blessings..their greatest heat's desire!

FrCharles Okeke updated his status: "Lauds (Almost all fled the Adoration/Benediction) At the Adoration/Benediction that followed the the Vigil Mass of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (New Year Eve), Matthew 26: 40 kept coming to mind: "When he (Jesus) returned to his disciples he found them asleep. He said to Peter, "So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?" At the Exposition of the Holy Eucharist, almost the entire congregation literally ran for the exit as if fleeing from the Lord. Of over 300 people that attended the vigil mass, just about fifteen remained for the Benediction. So sad. But despite such glitch, the Church is set to bloom in the years to come and is bound to be victorious in the end. May the Lord bless and keep us; may the Lord let His face shine upon us and be gracious to us; may the Lord look kindly upon us and give us peace in the year to come. Here's wishing all my facebook friends a blessed New Year."
