Photo: Our Twins' First Communion

Yesterday was one of the most joyous days of my whole life. My daughters were wearing white dresses. They looked so innocent and pretty. They were nervous and excited as they prepared to receive the true Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ for the first time in Holy Communion.

I wept.

More than any other Holy Mass that I have ever attended, I felt as if I were perfectly present at Calvary under the crucified Lord. I felt the sacrifice. I also had a sense that our Immaculate Mother was personally escorting my daughters to the cross to meet their King.

A special thank you to Father Thomas Longua and Father Phil Wolfe of the FSSP for training them, hearing their First Confessions, and for providing their First Communion. God bless and richly reward the FSSP: "Venientes autem venient cum exsultatione, portantes manipulos suos" (Ps 125:7).
