Thepriestseemedtothinkit wasagoodanswer,andnot manyweekslaterIreceived Jesusforthefirsttime.Itwas verywonderful.

Andthencamebitterdisillusionment!Oneofthegirlsin theConfirmationclassraisedthe pointofthePresence,andthe answerwas-No!Certainlynot! Itwasblasphemoustobelieve breadcouldchangeintothereal BodyandBloodofChrist.Communionwascompletelyaspiritualthing.
