When reading paragraph six what stood out most was the emphasis on the sacrament of the Eucharist being the essential part of the Catholic faith.

All the candles burn down. Tom, who has returned from the Forest in pieces, does not sleep. He reads, but the words wash over him in waves of neat black print. He is cold, but not overpoweringly so. Every so often he feels the stirrings of a migraine, but it never amounts to anything but a faint pulse behind his eyes. He entertains the vague idea of writing in the diary--which lies beside him on the common room couch--but every time he touches it is like a wound splitting open, raw and hot and…

Visiting St. Paul’s Parish Princeton For this field observation project, I chose to attend the 5pm Sunday service at St. Paul’s Parish in Princeton.
