The answer
a. We should ask the Lord to grant us His fear, to realize that we are in heaven before
the majesty of the throne of God.
b. During the church readings, we should count ourselves among the multitudes and that
Christ Himself (at that moment) talks to us.
c. In the offering of the Lamb, we must contemplate the Trinity. The Father sent His
Son to us; the Son is pleased to offer Himself as a sacrifice for our salvation; and the Holy Spirit leads us towards Jesus Christ and lift us up to heaven.
d. In the institution narrative, we should consider ourselves in the upper room where
Christ blessed and sanctified, granting us His body and blood.
e. During communion, we should feel that Christ Himself is extending His hands to
offer us His body and blood.
f. After receiving the eucharist, we should consider ourselves as standing before the
throne of God, praising and glorifying Him with the heavenly hosts.
g. Upon leaving the church, we should occupy ourselves with talking to the Savior who
raises us with Him, desiring to be one with Him as Mary Magdalene desired when He spoke to her and revealed that He was not the gardener as she thought, but the Lord Himself.
