"Another day, another dollar", a familiar saying, true but not the whole truth. What's in a day? Well, each day is unique; there will never be another like it. For some it might be a birthday; for others, graduation day or party; it might be dance recital day; for some, First Communion. My own First Communion was on this day in 1948, What a difference that day made in my life, and I pray for those who will be receiving Jesus for the first time, a day that will make a difference in their lives. For most of us today will be "an ordinary day of chores, shopping...Saturday things...No matter at what level we experience this day, it will never be repeated, so the call is to live it "to the max", as the popular phrase goes. It is a gift from God, an opportunity to experience his love, live our faith, pray, attend Mass, visit the sick, call or write to a friend, be with family, whatever, and ultimately should end with praise and thanksgiving, for God has used this day to teach us, to love us, to draw us closer to himself, though we may not be aware of it until we stop and look at what is happening. Then we will naturally want to thank him and give praise for THIS day.
