Grave news...

Sunday at Mass, Father Braveheart announced something terrible and terrifying.

It seems that someone broke into a local Catholic Church with the sole intention of stealing the Blessed Sacrament. The thief entered the church through a window, opened the tabernacle and stole the ciborium containing the Holy Eucharist. They did not take anything else from the church, although there were plenty of other valuable items. The theft of the Blessed Sacrament desecrated the church and the bishop had to re-consecrate the parish.

The news was utterly shocking and, even now, thinking about it makes me want to cry. Clearly, whoever stole the Blessed Sacrament has dark purposes, the likes of which I don't even want to imagine.

Satanism isn't something that I think about often (which is good), but when it does come up, there's always this feeling of detachment. It's like I always thought, "Oh, it'll never happen here. It can't really happen that often, anyway."

But now that this has happened in my own backyard... ugh. It makes me shiver.

And it makes me wonder... if the Satanists believe in the True Presence, why do so many Catholics deny Our Lord? Especially when the Great Mystery of Transubstantiation is central to our Faith?

My heart is so heavy...
