When the Real Presence is Missing

I was at the Fort Myer Chapel in Arlington National cemetery today for the funeral of a friend. I was struck by the stark beauty of the chapel, but I as moved into the pew, I was acutely aware of the lack of a tabernacle. There was nothing (that is, no One) to genuflect to before I entered the pew.

How lucky we are to have the One in every Catholic church. There is Someone to kneel before!
