The Monthly Reflections with Fr.Groeschel which this year is has as its theme:
The Sacraments: Appreciating the Gifts of Christ.
Earlier in the week he fell and was released from the hospital only yesterday (December 16, 2005) but he came down to Holy Innocents parish and, as usual, the place was packed.
He told the story of how it was suspected that he had life-threatening internal bleeding. Because of his January 2004 accident, he has been using a substance, coumarin Fr. Benedict gave the credit to Ireland but the web gives it to
Wisconsin: rotting clover, a dead cow, a bucket of blood that doesn't coagulate -- a medical miracle.
(Coumadin ® is the name of the drug as it is manufactured)
He fell and that caused internal bleeding which for a time, it could not be determined if it was life-threatening. Thanks be to God, it wasn't and he was able to be at Holy Innocents. He didn't mention if was going to be on EWTN Live tomorrow.
He noted all the modern saints and the holy people of New York that might be saints one day had a deep devotion to the Holy Eucharist.
It was tragic that the informality in the Catholic Church that started in the 60's led to a loss of reverence for the Holy Eucharist.
