Eating Before Mass

Dear Sr. Edwina: What’s the big deal about not eating anything an hour before Mass?

Concerned Catholic: Oh yes...that is something that is often misunderstood. We must remember dear one that the Eucharist is the actual body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Is it not befitting that we empty ourselves before we receive such a precious gift? This is such a small sacrifice compared to the sacrifice of crucifixion Jesus made for us. We must also remember dear ones; Jesus asked, “Could you not watch and pray for one hour?” Sr. Edwina believes the only thing that should be in your mouth during Mass is a word of praise or a song.
