Comments on: Advice from Padre Pio http://catholicinformation.aquinasandmore.com/2008/10/01/advice-from-padre-pio/ If it's Catholic we'll talk about it and probably sell it.

The challenge is to strike a balance between reverence as wonderfully described here, and Christ in community (communion), delighting to see other members of our one Body. May we always remember that the Last Supper was a Seder Meal -- likely a bit chaotic and social at times, and deeply reverent at other times. Sometimes the reverence even gets a bit chaotic with wine drops intentionally spilling out and loudly reciting the 10 plagues -- Hail! Locusts! Darkness! Death of the First Born! Not long after this came what we now know as the first Eucharistic prayer by Jesus our Christ. There is, somehow, room within holiness for both reverence and community.
