Water, Water Everywhere...

Today being Sunday, I was able to attend Sacrament Meeting with the stake and become increasingly wrought by the question: What happens to those still wanting spiritual nourishment after all the little cups of water are gone? Apparently, they just bless more. In a Catholic Mass, they simply store the host (communion/sacrament... whatever you prefer) that has been previously blessed and unused in the chapel and retrieve it when they are in dire straits. Speaking of the Catholic Church, this has been running through my brain today... This prayer is said before the blessing of the sacrament to signify the congregation to kneel.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord,
God of Power and Might,
Heaven and Earth are full of Your glory
Hosanna in the Highest!
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna in the Highest!

How cold and distant these words have become.
