Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Take and Eat, Take and Drink!!!

These words from the lips of Jesus are some of the most important

and very personal ones there are in the scriptures. In them, the

Savior invites his disciples to eat his body and drink his blood in the

Holy Eucharist. Today in a special way we are enjoined to reflect

again on the central and unique place of this sacrament in our

spiritual and community lives as Catholics.

Like the celebration of the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity last

weekend, not surprisingly there are volumes that have been written

about the Holy Eucharist. For this space, we again turn to a few

paragraphs from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

“The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring:

‘Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he

was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the

conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares

again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes

place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the

substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole

substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change

the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called

transubstantiation.’ (CCC, 1376)

“The Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life.’ ‘The

other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works

of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented

toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual

good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch.’ (CCC, 1324)

‘The miracles of the multiplication of the loaves, when the Lord says

the blessing, breaks and distributes the loaves through his disciples

to feed the multitude, prefigure the superabundance of this unique

bread of his Eucharist. The sign of water turned into wine at Cana

already announces the Hour of Jesus’ glorification. It makes manifest

the fulfillment of the wedding feast in the Father’s kingdom, where

the faithful will drink the new wine that has become the Blood of

Christ.(CCC, 1335)

“The inexhaustible richness of this sacrament is expressed in the

different names we give it. Each name evokes certain aspects of it. It

is called: Eucharist, because it is an action of thanksgiving to God.

The Greek words eucharistein and eulogein recall the Jewish

blessings that proclaim – especially during a meal – God’s works:

creation, redemption, and sanctification.”(CCC, 1328) Other names

include ‘the Lord’s supper’, ‘the breaking of bread’, etc (CCC, 1329)

May this Eucharistic food continue to be our spiritual nourishment

and preparation for eternal life. Amen.

Have a blessed week everyone!

Corpus Christi

When we receive communion and

hear the words, "The Body of Christ," we

receive, we accept Jesus’ true blood and

flesh. But what about His other body?

Have we accepted the body of Christ, the

parish community around us - these

people with their weaknesses, their sins,

their differences? Will we accept this

body and heal it, feed it, care for it and

cherish it? When you accept Him, can

you accept this body of Christ too?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things

you didn’t do than by the things you did do. ~Mark Twain

The Council of Trent (1551) provides the depth of understanding we need to fully appreciate the Eucharist: “In the most blessed

sacrament of the Eucharist, the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore, the

whole Christ is truly, really and substantially contained.” This presence is called real because it is the presence is the fullest. It does

not negate the presence of Christ in the Word, the celebrant, or the assembly. (CCC# 1374)

Camp I Am Special is looking for groups to volunteer to provide meals during the summer. This is an
