Thoughts From this Sunday’s Readings by Fr. John
Previous reflections can be found on his blog at
FrJohnMurphy.blogspot.com
Today we celebrate the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ,
Corpus Christi, one of the oldest feasts of the Church. The
first thought that usually comes to mind when we consider the
Body and Blood of Christ is the Eucharist. And this is right. The
Eucharist is the greatest of our seven sacraments. The Catechism
of the Catholic Church teaches us that, “the Eucharist is the source
and summit of the Christian life. The other sacraments, and indeed
all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound
up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed
Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church,
namely Christ himself, our Pasch."(CCC 1324).
Another important aspect of Corpus Christi is community. When
we receive the Eucharist and when Christ becomes part of us,
we are united as Church. “Those who receive the Eucharist are
united more closely to Christ. Through it Christ unites them to all
the faithful in one body - the Church. Communion renews,
strengthens, and deepens this incorporation into the Church,
already achieved by Baptism. In Baptism we have been called to
form but one body. The Eucharist fulfills this call” (CCC 1396).
Individually each one of us is united to Christ through the
Eucharist. God is present in the bread and wine we receive and
God is present in each one of us. When we receive the Body and
Blood of Christ, Christ becomes part of us. In John 6:51,54,56
Jesus said “I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; . . . he who eats
my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and . . . abides in me,
and I in him.”

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
29 de mayo del 2016
Solemnidad de Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo
La Iglesia Vive de la Eucaristía: Si con el don del Espíritu Santo en Pentecostés la Iglesia nace y se encamina por las vías del mundo, un momento
decisivo de su formación es ciertamente la institución de la Eucaristía. Su
fundamento es todo el Triduo Pascual, pero éste está como incluído, anticipado, y "concentrado" para siempre en el don eucarístico. En este don,
Jesucristo entregaba a la Iglesia la actualización perenne del misterio pascual. Con él instituyó una misteriosa "contemporaneidad" entre aquel Triduo y el transcurrir de todos los siglos.
La Iglesia vive del Cristo eucarístico, de Él se alimenta y por Él es iluminada. La Eucaristía es misterio de fe y, al mismo tiempo, "misterio de
luz". Cada vez que la Iglesia la celebra, los fieles pueden revivir de algún
modo la experiencia de los dos discípulos de Emaús: "Entonces se les
abrieron los ojos y le reconocieron" (Lc 24, 31). La Eucaristía, presencia
salvadora de Jesús en la comunidad de los fieles y su alimento espiritual,
es de lo más precioso que la Iglesia puede tener en su caminar por la historia. Así se explica la esmerada atención que ha prestado siempre al Misterio eucarístico, una atención que se manifiesta autorizadamente en la
acción de los Concilios y de los Sumos Pontífices. ¿Cómo no admirar la
exposición doctrinal de los Decretos sobre la Santísima Eucaristía y sobre
el Sacrosanto Sacrificio de la Misa promulgados por el Concilio de Trento? Aquellas páginas han guiado en los siglos sucesivos tanto la teología
como la catequesis, y aún hoy son punto de referencia dogmática para la
continua renovación y crecimiento del Pueblo de Dios en la fe y en el
amor a la Eucaristía.
Misterio de la Fe: La Iglesia ha recibido la Eucaristía de Cristo, su Señor,
no sólo como un don entre otros muchos, aunque sea muy valioso, sino
como el don por excelencia, porque es don de sí mismo, de su persona en
su santa humanidad y, además, de su obra de salvación. Ésta no queda
relegada al pasado, pues "todo lo que Cristo es y todo lo que hizo y
padeció por los hombres participa de la eternidad divina y domina así todos los tiempos...". Cuando la Iglesia celebra la Eucaristía, memorial de la
muerte y resurrección de su Señor, se hace realmente presente este acontecimiento central de salvación y "se realiza la obra de nuestra redención".
Este sacrificio es tan decisivo para la salvación del género humano, que
Jesucristo lo ha realizado y ha vuelto al Padre sólo después de habernos
dejado el medio para participar de él, como si hubiéramos estado
presentes. Así, todo fiel puede tomar parte en él, obteniendo frutos
inagotablemente. Ésta es la fe de la que han vivido a lo largo de los siglos
las generaciones cristianas. Ésta es la fe que el Magisterio de la Iglesia ha
reiterado continuamente con gozosa gratitud por tan inestimable don.
Deseo, una vez más, llamar la atención sobre esta verdad, poniéndome con
vosotros, mis queridos hermanos y hermanas, en adoración delante de este
Misterio: Misterio grande, Misterio de misericordia. ¿Qué más podía hacer
Jesús por nosotros? Verdaderamente, en la Eucaristía nos muestra un amor
que llega "hasta el extremo" (Jn 13, 1), un amor que no conoce medida. La
eficacia salvífica del sacrificio se realiza plenamente cuando se comulga
recibiendo el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor. De por sí, el sacrificio eucarístico se orienta a la íntima unión de nosotros, los fieles, con Cristo mediante la comunión: le recibimos a Él mismo, que se ha ofrecido por nosotros; su cuerpo, que Él ha entregado por nosotros en la Cruz; su sangre,
"derramada por muchos para perdón de los pecados" (Mt 26, 28). Recordemos sus palabras: "Lo mismo que el Padre, que vive, me ha enviado y yo
vivo por el Padre, también el que me coma vivirá por mí" (Jn 6, 57). Jesús
mismo nos asegura que esta unión, que Él pone en relación con la vida
trinitaria, se realiza efectivamente.
La Eucaristía es verdadero banquete, en el cual Cristo se ofrece como alimento. Cuando Jesús anuncia por primera vez esta comida, los oyentes se
quedan asombrados y confusos, obligando al Maestro a recalcar la verdad
objetiva de sus palabras: "En verdad, en verdad os digo: si no coméis la
carne del Hijo del hombre, y no bebéis su sangre, no tendréis vida en vosotros" (Jn 6, 53). No se trata de un alimento metafórico: "Mi carne es
verdadera comida y mi sangre verdadera bebida" (Jn 6, 55). Amén.
The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
Heavenly Father, Today we remember and pay tribute to the men and women of the Armed
Services who have died in the defense of our nation; from the days of the Revolution to these
days in Iraq and Afghanistan. They paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we hold so
dear.
In the words of Sacred Scripture we hear, "There is no greater love then this, than to lay down
one's life for a friend." It is only by your grace and the love they have for you and this nation
that gave them the strength to lay down their lives.
We beseech you O Lord, to receive these servants of peace into your loving embrace and grant
them the eternal peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also remember the family members of these great heroes. They too suffer a great and painful sacrifice. Bestow upon them the blessings of your consolation and peace. May you ease
their sadness as they continue on the road to serenity and hope.
To you we offer this prayer knowing you fulfill the heart's desire of those who seek you with
noble intentions. May our prayer for true and lasting peace be answered in accordance to your
will and for the good of your sons and daughters. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, the
King of Peace. Amen

Certainly the sacrament should not be expected to automatigrieves differently and sometimes this can cally cure the sick person. Such an expectation tends toward supercreate difficulties within our families and stition (cf. CC2111). Baptized children below the age of reason

Brittany was crying as she walked into the
abortion clinic. She came out about five
minutes later and went behind the building to
the parking lot. About an hour later she came
back around to the front and approached us to
accept the literature we offered. We talked
about her three year old daughter among many other things. After a
lengthy discussion, she asked me to give her a hug. We held each
other so very tight as she said "I am scared, but I know I must keep
my baby, thank you." Brittany chose life for her second child.
Thanks be to God.

“Behold, your Mother”

John 19:27
There will be a Consecration (or renewal of Consecration) to the Immaculate
Heart of Mary Ceremony on SATURDAY, JUNE 4 at 8:30 AM, the Memorial
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This will be a brief ceremony. Either an
individual member of the parish, an entire family, ministry or group, may
consecrate themselves to Our Blessed Mother. This holds much power
spiritually. When we ask Mary to be our Mother by consecrating/entrusting
ourselves to her, we place ourselves under Her care and protection, and allow
her to embrace us even more closely.
On June 4 there will be sheets of paper available for you to fill out with your name and/or the names of the
people, ministry, or group that you wish to entrust to her. A binder will be placed before the statue of our
Blessed Mother in the sanctuary. During the consecration ceremony we will process forward to place our sheet
of paper in the binder.
If you cannot be physically present and are joining us in spirit, you may email names of individuals, families,
groups or ministries you wish to entrust to Our Blessed Mother, and they will be written in the binder for you.
When sending this email:

Please put “Consecration to the IHM” in the subject line

List the names/or family name, ministry or group you wish to consecrate (entrust) to the Immaculate
Heart of Mary

Send the email to Terri Thomas at [email protected]
