A Change of Heart

Father Gregor

For the past couple of months, I had taken up the habit of coming during the hours of the night, when all my pastoral duties were over, to sit in front of the Holy Eucharist while I read, and re-read the stack of papers I had found that fateful day in Emily Summer´s ICU room. And today had been no different.

As I sat in the seat right before the exposed Monstrance, looking up at the small and white consecrated wafer, now turned into the Body of my Lord, I still could not believe what I had seen and experienced in that room that day. However, I had decided that just as with many other mysteries of our Faith, this one would have to be simply accepted.
