He said that in a society so overwhelmed by the "costs" of waiting,inclined to rush, the most valuable wait we have every week is that of the line to receive Holy Communion at Mass. If only we could take that reverant anticipation, that understanding that our wait is for something larger and more worthy than comprehensible, and apply it to other "waits" in our lives...we'd be much better off.
