I didn't learn it in the Episcopal church, but I grew up in a liberal church that accepted symbolism, and talked a great deal about symbolic representation, without literal meaning. <br /><br />But after reading your post, I was introduced to something new, that a Catholic would find transubstantiation a source of comfort, a tie to faith, belief. <br /><br />I've known Catholics all my life, including my mother, and each has treated the idea as being...just one of those things about Catholicism. "Why do you cross yourselves?" "It's just something we do." That sort of thing. <br /><br />It was nice, and broadening actually, to read that to someone, it meant something that was vaguely apologetic. <br /><br />I can't say that I'm likely to ever walk the same path, Cricket, but I do appreciate that you make me think of things in new ways. You broadened a viewpoint. Encompassed more, for me, as I consider things.Land of shimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671954452597068904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041802843110274347.post-74061930429873103072010-05-17T19:17:32.830-04:002010-05-17T19:17:32.830-04:00Similar to Suldog... though I say Our Father every...Similar to Suldog... though I say Our Father every night before my daily petitions. I think the Anima Christi is beautiful and very personal indeed.<br /><br />I am often surprised at the outcome of prayer too...

I try to really think about each petition, and what they mean.
