Fragment

It seems to me that Catholics should be the least down on their littleness or lack of importance, or appearances of being too little, not enough.  They have their Holy Communion or Eucharist.  It is a thin wafer, seemingly tasteless, very small.  But it is supposed to be very powerful with the presence of their universal creator.  If this is all so for them, then God uses everything, every crumb to reveal power and presence.  So when Catholics feel “crumby” they are very important as they carry around this awesome Presence within them.  They are not mere crumbs, worthless, of little matter since their God has chosen to be within them and reveal this Presence through them to others.  Each person then is a treasure box.  I don’t think many Catholics believe this or if they do they don’t act it.  They let the world tell them who and what they are.  When you say, “I am not enough” what is it you are avoiding?  Sometimes I am condemned by my own dogma.  Oh, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day.  Wear green.
