Speaking of Communion 'adventures', Fr Michael, the parish priest, was narrating of an incident some years back when he was visiting one of the elderly ladies in her flat and had taken Holy Communion for her. The story was that she was very ill and all had given hope that she would live through it. So her family, sold off her dog while she was in the hospital. And then she made a complete recovery! So the family had to buy a new dog, before she arrived back home.
The new dog, not being used to the high rise buildings the family was living in, was very restless. So on this occasion when Fr Michael reached the house, with the Holy Communion, for this elderly lady, he found the dog unusually active. Just as he was about to give the lady the communion, the dog leapt high and almost got the Communion! Almost! Such was the 'leap of faith'!
