First Reading — It was the LORD, our God, who pro-tected us along our entire journey (Joshua 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b). Psalm — Taste and see the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 34). Second Reading — Christ nourishes and cherishes the church because we are members of his body (Ephesians 5:21-32 [5:2a, 25-32]). Gospel — We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God (John 6:60-69).

WE SHARE GOD’S LIFE NOW

Over the past few weeks, second readings at Sunday Mass have been taken from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Paul has been providing an ongoing instruction on what it means to live and share God’s life now. Paul was writing to people who lived in the midst of pagan activity. That is why Paul’s words are still applicable to us. This is not to say that our world is monstrously evil, that nastiness sur-rounds us, or that everyone is out to get us. That’s not true. What is true, however, is that times are tough. Our society pressures us to look out for ourselves, to take the best advantage we can, often without giving much thought to the other person. Paul also urges us to take the best advantage we can, but with constant regard for the other person. And the best advantage we can take is to remember that Christ is with us—is in us—now.

RESPECT LIFE CORNER

“I recently spent a few evenings and the weekend at the St. Rocco’s Italian Feast with the pro-life table for the LI Coalition for Life. Various groups of teens that were headed to the carnival rides would detour at our table to check out the fetal development mod-els. When I asked if they knew how abortion is done, most of them had no idea. I told them that one way is to suck the little babies out with a strong vac-uum to tear them apart. The teens would grimace, look wide-eyed, call it murder...abortion is just a word until you know what it really is.” ~Celeste Broyles, PhD, LI Coalition for Life, Treasurer, and 40 Days for Life Long Island, Coordinator.

“We need to be as aggressive in reaching young teens as Planned Parenthood is.”

“The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon

the way we occupy that place.” ~St. Therese of Lisieux
