Reflection of the rose window at St. Marks Cathedral in Seattle, WA.
There is no doubt that I love reflections hence the name of this blog. I look out on the bayou each day to see the reflection of the trees, standing tall like floating towers on the water. Once a Catholic friend (I am an Episcopalian) told me that she saw the reflection of Christ in the communion cup during a Eucharist we were attending together at the National Cathedral. She was surprised to find Jesus in our cup as she was always told Jesus only blesses the Catholic Eucharist. I know this sounds ludicrous, but that is what she thought before her vision. The actual very confusing rule is explained here.
Ever since my friend’s vision in the chalice, I look when I take the wine. I used to close my eyes. And when the swine flu was going around, and our priest advised us to dip rather than drink, I drank anyway. I look. I always see a reflection. The reflection is not always ethereal, but it is always beautiful.
On Monday, I attended a memorial service for a friend’s husband. The service was in an Episcopal church, and a full communion was served.
I kept my eyes open.
I was delighted by the many lights I saw in the wine reflection, red, green, yellow, sparkling lights. A sign to me that resurrection is real.
When we open our eyes in the presence of the Holy Spirit, we will see miracles.
We will see love.
We will see.
And believe.
I plan to keep my eyes open.
Reflections on the Teche 
I am an Episcopalian that was born into and educated for 12 years as a Roman Catholic. This is another man made law of the RC that I disagree with. They are softening their stiff backed regulations and rules, but they have a long way before they really follow Christ’s love for man.
I wish we would have communion more at our church. I want to see the reflections too. I love the blessed feelings that I get. God’s resurrection is real. Thank you for blessing me today.
Margaret, I looked into the image you provided to see the spiraled reflections noting the myriad of possibilities faith brings. My post will follow. Thank you for your insight about communion. I usually never take the wine, only the host so perhaps I would like to try that.
We are assured of seeing God’s reflection in all the aspects of our lives if we keep our eyes open!
I love the reflection of the rose window at St. Mark’s cathedral. I’ve lived here for almost two decades and never been inside St. Mark’s. It’s time for me to visit and look for the reflections. These words from your post resonated with me: “When we open our eyes in the presence of the Holy Spirit, we will see miracles.”
