When receiving Communion stops feeling ordinary

You go to Mass, the moment for Communion arrives, you get in line almost on autopilot and, back in your pew, you're already thinking about what you have to do afterward. Nothing has gone wrong. You've simply got used to it. The accounts of miraculous communions speak of people who wept because they couldn't receive, who traveled difficult roads or who waited with enormous longing. Their experiences were exceptional, but the question they leave is very ordinary: how much do you long for what you receive? The problem isn't that Mass is normal, but letting habit empty an immense encounter from the inside. You don't need to chase a wonder. You need to recover the desire: to know whom you are going to receive, to prepare a little and to give thanks afterward. Routine changes when love comes back.
