FEAST OF CORPUS
CHRISTI: This weekend we honor the Real Presence of Christ in the
Eucharist known as the feast of Corpus Christi. As Catholics we
believe at Mass the bread becomes the Body of Christ, and the wine
the Blood of Christ. The Eucharist is a mystery brought about by the
Holy Spirit accomplishing what surpasses every word and thought. The
Holy Eucharist which we receive at Holy Communion is the source of
our Christian Life. In the Eucharist Catholics find Our Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ.

A SUMMER PRAYER
Long warm days.
A time for picnics
and rest in the shade...
Lord, help me to
rest awhile
in the
cooling shade of your presence.
Slow down my
restless heart and fill me
with gentle
compassion for all your people. Amen. |
