Reflection Last Sunday, we celebrated the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Today again in the Church, we celebrate an-other great mystery, the Sacrament of the precious Body and Blood of Our Lord (Corpus Christi) the Eucharist. The Sacrament we celebrate today in this annual feast of Corpus Christi has been described by the Second Vatican Council as “the source and summit of the Christian life” (Lumen Gentium, no.11). It is the second and final covenant which God made with us his new people, sealed in the blood of Christ. In the Old Testament, an agreement be-came a covenant when it was sealed with the pouring of blood of animal. Thus, in the various covenants involving God and his people in the ancient times, the blood of ani-mals was used and God was always the one who took the initiative as in the case of his covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15. God knew that his people would be the ones to break the covenant, and God was ready to pay the expiation for the unfaithfulness of his people. In Exodus 24, which we read today, God renewed this covenant with the people of Israel. Before the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai, the people of Israel pledged themselves to keep God’s covenant. Moses sprinkled “the blood of the covenant sacrifice” half upon the people and half upon the altar of the Lord signify-ing the mystical union between God and his people (Exod.24:6-8). The tablets on which the law was inscribed became the sign of the covenant. In the New Testament which is the New Covenant, it was not the blood of animal that was shed or poured out as was the case in the old law, but God in the Person of Christ used his own body, poured out his own blood as the sign of this covenant. The gospel tells us that on the night before the Passover, “And as they were eating he (Jesus) took some bread, and when he had said the blessing, he broke it and gave it to them, “Take it” he said, “this is my body” Mk.14:22). Then he took a cup, and when he had returned thanks he gave it to them, and all drank from it, and he said to them, “This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, which is to be poured out for many.” When we gather in the Church to share the Eucharistic meal, we recall and re-enact

the sacrifice Jesus offered to his Father by dying on the cross, once and for all. The Church teaches that whenever those words of Christ are pronounced during the celebration of the Eucharist by a validly ordained priest; the bread and wine are truly changed into the body and blood of Christ. In the reception of the sacrament, we receive the whole Christ, the risen Christ, whether under the appearance of bread or wine. By receiving Christ in the Holy Communion, we unite ourselves in love with him in a foretaste of our own resur-rection, we nourish ourselves spiritually, and we strengthen the bonds of love and friendship which the Eucharist sym-bolizes. The Eucharist also calls us to further God’s reign of peace, love, and justice; it also challenges us to accept and welcome others, to forgive others and to seek forgiveness from others when we have hurt them, to live in peace and be peacemakers. These are among the numerous reasons why we go to Mass and receive Holy Communion.

Religious Education Office

I have recently met parents who have told me that since their child has now received First Holy Communion that they do not need to come to Religious Education classes any more. What a disservice to your child! Children need to continue with their Religious Education every year. So a challenge for everyone - Are you smarter then a Third Grader? Who is St. Monica the patron Saint of? What is the most important day of the Church year? What are the gifts given by God that help us live good lives called? If your child (or maybe yourself) can not answer these questions, Religious Education classes can help. Registrations are now open and forms are at the entrance of the church. - Answers on the bottom page.

Safeguard the Children Did you Know You can help children know they are understood As parents, educators and volunteers, we want children to know that we are not only authority figures in their lives, but also people they can trust. To foster authentic trust with children, it is important that they know that you understand them. One of the simplest ways to do this is by repeating back what children are telling you. When you do this, you are affirming to the child that they are heard and understood. For complete VIRTUS® Article and more communication tips email: jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.

In Loving Memory 1919-2015 Sister Maria Aurora Gonzalez S.J.S, former Director of our Religious Education Program from 1994-2004

passed away peacefully in the SJS infir-mary in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico on Sunday, May 31st. We are very grateful that she was part of our community and her genuine love for teaching and dedication to the children of St. Anthony. May a choir of angels come to greet her

and speed her to paradise. May she find eternal life.

Hoy la iglesia celebra La Fiesta del Santísimo Cuerpo o Corpus Christi y la Santísima Sangre de Cristo. Esta fiesta es importante para nosotros, porque a traves del Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo recibimos la plenitud de vida. En una aldea, un templo pagano se encuentra al costado de una Iglesia Católica. Cada día, un Pagano y un Católico caminan en la misma dirección hacia sus respectivos lugares de culto. El pagano observa que el católico nunca lleva una ofrenda a la iglesia. El le pregunta, "¿Cómo es que ustedes los Católicos no ofrecen nada cuando usted asisten a su Misa"? "Nuestra religión es diferente," responde el católico. "Ustedes paganos están obligados a ofrecer a su Dios cada vez que lo veneran. Para nosotros los católicos, siempre que celebramos la Santa Misa, nuestro Dios se ofrece a nosotros". Jesús dijo, "Yo soy el pan vivo que desciende de los cielos; quienquiera que come este pan vivirá para siempre. El pan que les daré es mi cuerpo y lo daré por la vida de la palabra" (Juan.6:51). El se ofrece a nosotros con amor cada vez que nosotros celebramos la Misa. Nuestra creencia como Católicos es que en la Eucaristía nos debemos transformar para llegar a ser el pan para otras personas. Cuándo recibimos la co-munión nosotros llegamos a ser lo que recibimos. Llegamos a ser el cuerpo de Cristo el uno para el otro. Esto significa que debemos abrazar una vida de servi-cio humilde y amor incondicional hacia los demás. COMO? Trayendo el amor y la compasión de Jesús dondequiera que sean necesitados, somos invitados a vivir como transmisores de su amor y caridad. El amor puede ser una gran palabra pero también la ac-ción puede ser algo muy sencillo. Permítenos ser como el pan quebrado y compartido con los demás. La Eu-caristía es una bendición; pero a la vez es también una tarea. Que afortunados somos al compartir estos rega-los poderosos. Es en el compartir su cuerpo y su san-gre que realizamos lo que Jesús nos pidío; compartir su regalo de vida! Que Dios los bendiga con la plenitud de vida!
