Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ

Our Lady of the Rosary Church Little Italy—San Diego, CA

We Welcome All Visitors to Our Celebration While Holy Communion may only be received by prepared Catholics, for our non-Catholic guests you are welcome to join the line to walk towards the priest or deacon to receive a special blessing: Simply cross your arms over your chest to receive a blessing.

Pastor’s Corner Life is one of the most valuable gifts from our Cre-ator God. No one can give life but God alone. But in order to sustain that life, everyone needs food and drink. These are some of the basic needs for every individual person. In our first reading this Sunday, God provides food (manna) from heaven for the hungry people in order for them to survive in their daily living. But that food was only for their momentary satisfaction, for their momentary life on earth.

Additionally, there is a real and everlasting life which also needs real and everlasting food. And God again provides this everlasting food which is the living bread that comes down from heaven. Jesus Christ is this food who offers his Body and Blood saying “whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day” (Jn. 6:54). Everything that comes from the Lord Jesus Christ assures us of eternal life on the last day.

Today - Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Sunday, June 18th, our Sacred Heart Society is sponsoring a Special Celebration at the 10:30 AM Mass, followed by a reception in the church hall. The human heart has always been considered as the true symbol of Love, because love is necessary to us, as is our physical heart. When we celebrate Jesus’ Heart we celebrate His infi-nite personal love for us. Jesus’ love made Him accept death on a cross rather than abandoning us to the evil one. To Jesus’ love: honor, praise, and thanksgiving!

The Madonna Addolorata Society participated in The Walk for Wish-es, on Saturday April 22, 2017 at San Diego's Embarcadero.

We have discussed the Sunday parking situation with the Soul Church at Washington Elementary School, and we are back to having the South Lot on Sunday mornings. There may be some confusion over the next two weeks while both congregations adjust to the change. You must remove your car after the Sunday noon Mass. The lot is locked after Mass, so do not head to brunch without removing your car from the lot.

Isn't the Eucharist just symbolic, since Jesus could only sacrifice himself once?

First of all, up to the 16th century virtually all Christians believed that the bread and wine truly becomes the body and blood of Christ. That’s a long time. The largest and oldest Christian Church still does—as do the Orthodox churches. So there has to be something credible about it.

It is true that for the Jews, consuming blood was an abomination. Scripture tells us that many of the disciples of Jesus could not accept this and from that point on did not follow him (Jn 6:66), but not all of them. “Then Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘What about you, do you want to go away too?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we know that you are the Holy One of God’” (Jn 6:67-69). These dis-ciples did accept what he said—not because they understood, but because they believed in him.

If Jesus were merely speaking symbolically, he could easily have called the other disciples back and explained that he wasn’t speaking literally. He did not. Jesus, we believe, is God. It boggles the mind that God loves his creatures so much that he became one of them, and then allowed them to torture him and put him to death for their benefit. The moment in which he died covers every person who lived on this earth before Good Friday and everyone who was to live after it. It transcends time.

The Church and everything about it is incarnational because Jesus became incarnate. He used water and spittle and bread and wine and his own body and blood to minister to those who needed him. Since Jesus is God, if he said that the bread and wine becomes his body and blood, then those who acknowledge his divinity should have no difficulty believing it to be true because, like the Twelve, they believe in him. It is certainly no more extraordinary than his In-carnation!

Since the moment of his death transcends time, to celebrate it in time is not to create another Passion and death; it is to worship him in that very Passion here and now in the concrete manner of his devising.

Can the cannibalism charge be true?

Your question unnecessarily posits a conflict between a supernatural presence and a substantial one. Jesus is both sub-stantially present (bread and wine really become his body and blood) and supernaturally present (transubstantiation occurs by the supernatural action of God; the accidents of bread and wine remain without the substances of bread and wine). In consuming the eucharistic elements, the physical mechanisms of eating injure only the accidents of bread and wine. The process of consuming the host doesn't involve ripping and tearing Christ's body, despite its substantial presence. This is why the charge of cannibalism won't work. We can still say Christ's flesh and blood are consumed sacramentally in Holy Communion because what is eaten is literally his body and blood, even if the physical action of eating affects only the accidents of bread and wine.

The above Q&A’s are published by CatholicAnswers www.catholic.com

What did the early Church Fathers believe about the Eucharist?

Here are a few excerpts from the early Church Fathers that demonstrate their agreement on this issue:

St. Ignatius of Antioch, A.D. 110—“[Heretics] abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.”

St. Justin Martyr, A.D. 151—“As we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nurtured, is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus.”

St. Irenaeus, A.D. 1889—“If the Lord were from other than the Father, how could he rightly take bread which is of the same creation as our own, and confess it to be is body and affirm that the mixture in the cup is his blood?”

Origen, A.D. 248—“Formerly, in an obscure way, there was manna for food; now, however, in full view, there is the true food, the flesh of the Word of God, as he himself says: ‘My flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink’ [John 6:55].”

Have there been miracles involving the Eucharist?

Although there have been no miracles involving the Eu-charist that the Church has required Catholics to believe as articles of faith, there have been several reports of miracles that the Church has investigated and deemed appropriate for Catholics to accept. Here are just a few of them:

Lanciano, Italy, 8th century: During Mass, the conse-crated bread and wine became actual flesh and blood. The host and globules of blood were pre-served and are on display to tis very day. A team of researchers in the 1970s and ‘80s examined the host and determined that the flesh came from a human heart and the blood was type AB.

Bolsena-Orvieta, Italy, 1263: A German priest named Peter of Prague was struggling with the doctrine of transubstantiation when suddenly, while he was saying Mass, blood slowly began to emerge from the host at the moment of consecration. Pope Ur-ban IV called for an investigation into the matter and declared it to be authentic. He later commis-sioned St. Thomas Aquinas to compose both the Office for the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours for a feast called Corpus Christi, which would be dedicated to the Eucharist. Even today, during the feast of Corpus Christi the cathedral in Orvieto exposes the linen stained with the blood from the host held by Peter of Prague.

Avignon, France, 1433: After several days of heavy rain, the entire city of Avignon was flooded—except for a path leading into the church where the Eucharist was being kept for perpetual adoration. The religious brothers who run the small church still celebrate this miracle by exposing the sacra-ment and singing a chant from the Canticle of Mo-ses, which was originally sung when God miracu-lously kept the waters of the Red Sea at bay during the Exodus.

Eten, Peru, 1649: Fr. Jerome Silva saw an image of a child on the Eucharistic host, and an apparition of the divine child Jesus was also reported to have appeared to several people. This miracle is cele-brated in Eten every year on July 12.

Trivandrum, India, 2001: Fr. Johnson Karoor saw three dots and later a human face on the Eucharist while he was saying Mass. In an interview, Fr. Ka-roor said, “I didn’t have the strength to speak any-thing to the faithful. I stood aside for some time. I couldn’t control my tears. We had the practice of reading Scripture and reflecting on it during ado-ration. The passage that I got that day as I opened the Bible was John 20:24-29, Jesus appearing to St. Thomas and asking him to see his wounds.”

Finally, it is important to remember that at every Mass a miracle occurs even if we can’t perceive it. That’s be-cause after Consecration the substance of the bread and wine ceases to exist and is placed with the substance of Christ’s body and blood.

The last two questions are adapted from a Q&A published by Catholic Answers “20 Answers: The Eucharist” (San Diego: Catholic Answers, 2016) www.catholic.com

Please, Come to Church Dressed Appropriately! To be modestly and tastefully dressed is a sign of respect for God, for our selves, and for others. It’s a false assump-tion that God does not care how we dress. Jesus told us, “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do it to me.” If our attire is indecently provocative (short shorts, strapless, backless, spaghetti strap dresses/tops, or display-ing cleavage), displaying unwholesome graphics (skulls, advertisements, scantly clad people) or tattered, it becomes offensive to our brothers and sisters who are worshipping the Lord and therefore offensive to God’s Majesty. Ask this question: “Would you dress this way before God?” You are! He sees everything and you are in His house.
