MALLIA’S MOMENTS

By Fr. Joe Mallia

Today we proclaim the truth that in the Eucharist is present, the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. This truth is based on the words of Jesus himself in the Gospel of John in the sixth chapter and in the Last Supper discourse found in the other three Gospels. This is further highlighted in the writings of St. Paul, where he clearly indicates that the early believers took the words of Jesus literally and this is further testified to by the writings of the early church fathers. From the very beginning it has always been held by those closest of Jesus and those taught by them, that the Eucharist was in fact the bread of life and the cup of salvation; the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. Over the centurys others came along and denied this truth. They proposed on their own, with no scriptural backing, that the Eucharist was nothing more than a symbol. Others would later push it to the point of near extinction by not including it in their worship service. All this is contrary to the Scripture and the teaching of the early church.

A further tragedy is that the majority of Catholics today have accepted these false perceptions and also agree that the Eucharist is nothing but a symbol and not the real presence of the Lord. No wonder our faith falters and wanes as we deny even the most basic of essential truths given to us by the Lord himself. No wonder the vast majority see no issue with missing mass on Sunday. After all, it is only a ritual, something to do and they do not see it as an encounter with the real presence of the Lord. This manipulation of the truth to fit our own wishes and whims has been the cause for the slow and maybe not so slow decline of faithful discipleship in believers. Take for example the impact of how we have allowed sin to be watered down to the point it has no significant impact on our conscience. People rarely go to confession and the false belief that everyone goes to heaven are just signs of how people think evil is “no big deal.” That is why our Walk with Jesus, this yearly pilgrimage with the Blessed Sacrament through the main road of our two communities, is very significant.

community to show that Jesus must be the heart of our community. Get it! But for Christ to be at the heart of our community, we must be willing to live out a discipleship lifestyle for all to see. The call to be faithful disciples recognizes that we will not live out a perfect discipleship, since none of us is perfect, but faithful discipleship requires us to make our faith in Christ and the truth he proclaimed, an intentional focus of our lives. Our desire to follow Christ must be at the forefront of our minds and at the center of our hearts. Our Christian faith can no longer be been hidden in silence, nor can it be accidental or occasional. It must be witnessed in all of our words, actions and thoughts. It must be lived!

This pilgrimage walk is profoundly significant if it only benefits those of us who believe. It reminds us of a necessary step of discipleship and that is to take Christ out of the church and into the world. So then, open up the doors and let us move forth with a renewed dedication and a heart ready for proclamation. Jesus Christ is present in the Blessed Sacrament; Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. It is true not because we say so, but because He said so. And because He said so, we believe it and we shall live it! May God be praised this day and always. May the Lord Jesus Christ reign and be found in all the tabernacles of the world and in every heart of all believers. Amen.

F A I T H M A T T E R S

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Corpus Christi

procession. Thank you Fr. Joe, Deacon Alan, and all the volunteers who make

this event a reality. Everyone from those who set up the walk, the tent / environment, the sound

system, prepare and serve lunch, and all the behind the scenes volunteers. Without you, this event wouldn’t be a success!!

O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, at this most critical time, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care. Most Holy Mother, we beg you to reclaim this land for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our heart and seek refuge in your motherly protection. Look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts of the people. Open our minds to the great worth of human

life and to the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of abortion and that threaten the sanctity of family life. Grant our country the wisdom to proclaim that God’s law is the foundation on which this nation was founded, and that he alone is the True Source of our cherished rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to reject the culture of death and the strength to build a new Culture of Life. Amen.

Congratulations to those who have celebrated their First Holy Communion!!!

Q: I have a Protestant friend

who criticizes our Catholic literal interpretation of “This is my Body.” He says that Jesus also said, “I am the door” and no one takes that literally. How should I answer this objection?

A. Without the benefit of Catholic Tradition, which Protestants also reject, understanding Scripture can be anywhere

from easy to impossible for a lay person. More on Tradition a little farther down. With your friend’s example, however, one only has to read at the passages in question and apply a little common sense. When Jesus said that He was the door, nobody took Him literally and walked away (John 10:9). Nobody pictures Jesus as wood planks nailed together with a door knob attached. When Jesus declared that we must eat His flesh and drink His blood, 5,000 people who actually heard his words understood Jesus to be speaking literally. They walked away (John 6:67). Now add to this the fact these 5,000 people saw the miracles Jesus performed and were all just served a free meal from five barley loves and two fish (John 6:2-12). The all or nothing approach which holds that the Bible is to be read in an entirely literalist way, or that it is all merely symbolic is just not practical. Protestants, too, would reject such an idea. The real question then becomes which texts are to be understood literally, and which texts use symbolism? When trying to understand Sacred Scripture, we lay Catholics have Sacred Tradition, which is simply the teaching of the Church Fathers from the first century on. These Fathers down through the centuries have universally understood Jesus’ words in the 6

th chapter of John to be literal. St. Paul taught that Holy Communion is a partaking of the body and blood

of Christ and goes on to declare that those who receive it unworthily, not discerning the body and blood of our Lord Jesus, actually sin against the body of the Lord (First Corinthians 11:29). It is interesting to note the original Protestant reformers did not dispute such things as the real presence, nor did they argue the queenship or perpetual virginity of the Blessed Mother. Protestant denial of these things didn’t happen in their movement until later on.

Prayer During A Health Crisis

Compassionate and Loving Father, In the face of confusion and

concern impart to us the calm of your presence. In You allow us to

find hope and healing. Be with those who serve the sick and give

them Your caring hands. Be with those who lead and give them

Your Spirit of wisdom. Be with those who have fallen ill and give

them Your comforting heart. Wrap your arms around our world

and hold us in your love. Allow us at this time of trial to then serve

as instruments of that love to all we meet.

We ask this in Your Name. Amen. ©LPi
