A WORD FROM YOUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners and Guests:
Happy Feast Day! Today is our Parish Feast (number 3) since it
is First Communion Sunday. Our other
Feasts are
Today is a day to renew your own Faith
in the Eucharist. What a wonderful Gift
the Lord has given to us—His own Reality in a Form that we can receive into our
own persons. When we come forward to
receive the Holy Eucharist, we say with our very bodies that we are willing to
give ourselves to Christ. When we
consume Him, we are consumed by Him and we become more One with Him and with
His Father and the Holy Spirit. We are
fed and nourished by the Food and Drink that wells up in us to Eternal Life.
What
an awesome Reality it is to have Faith in the Holy Eucharist. So many do not know or believe in this
Truth. Sadly, many have believed and
have set aside their Faith. The world
and its calls have a power to draw us away if we are not attentive to the
practice of our Faith. Today of all
days, let us renew our Faith in the Presence of the Lord.
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Anima Christi
Soul of
Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, heal me.
Blood of Christ, drench me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash
me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
Good Jesus, hear me.
In Your wounds shelter me.
From turning away keep me.
From the evil one protect me.
At the hour of my death call me.
Into Your presence lead me,
to praise You with all Your saints
for ever and ever. Amen.

DID YOU KNOW that the Sacrament of the
Holy Eucharist is a renewal of our
commitment to the Life of Faith? Each
time we receive Holy Communion, we present ourselves to the Lord in order to
acknowledge that we belong to Him.
Baptism opens us to the life of grace.
Confirmation brings the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Eucharist feeds and nourishes us with the
very substance of Christ Himself in His Risen Glory.
This is not a mere symbol, although
it is certainly symbolic. It is
real. God is the One Who created the
universe; He chooses to use a small portion of His creation to give us
something beyond our understanding. Only
Faith can grasp this, but wonderfully that gift of Faith is offered even to children. Are you ready to receive the Lord in the
Eucharist and to give yourself to Him?
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Secrets of the Life of the Spirit
God calls.
We respond.
Taste and See the Goodness of
the Lord.
In the depth of our souls, there is a
communication of substance to substance that is guided by Faith. When we become aware of this, it draws us
into the very heart of reality.
Stop. See. Believe.
Trust. Hope. And Love.
There. God is flowing in and through you in your own uniqueness. This begins in Time, and it lasts through
Eternity. Yes. Now.
Let it be.
