On this solemnity we focus our attention on the Body and Blood of Christ. We listen to the story of the renewal of the old covenant, which Moses sealed by splashing the blood of ani-mals on the altar of sacrifice, as well as on the people. Jesus, whose blood is the blood of the new covenant, shed that precious blood on the cross, saving us from sin and promising us everlast-ing life. Blood is the life source that courses through our bodies. The precious blood of Christ is the life source for our spirits. To-day may we, like the psalmist, offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, whose Body and Blood strengthen us to bring the Good News to everyone we meet. Peace, Fr. Frank

WHY DO CATHOLICS DO THAT?

Why do Catholic Bibles have more books than Protestant Bibles? When Martin Luther translated the Bible into German, he chose to leave out the Old Testament books that weren’t originally writ-ten in Hebrew: Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 & 2 Maccabees, and parts of Esther and Daniel. However, the Catho-lic Church , under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, confirmed that the books Luther removed are divinely inspired and chose to keep them. The Council of Trent (1545 to 1563) affirmed the current composition of the Bible.
