My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, Today, the universal Church celebrates the great Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, known to many as Corpus Christi Sunday. So rich is this Feast that I decided to share with you some thoughts and writings of the men and women of our faith who, like us, have been fed and nurtured by the very presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. "When you have received Him, stir up your heart to do Him homage; speak to Him about your spiritual life, gazing upon Him in your soul where He is present for your happiness; welcome Him as warmly as possible, and behave outwardly in such a way that your actions may give proof to all of His Presence." - St. Francis de Sales "What wonderful majesty! What stupendous condescension! O sublime humility! That the Lord of the whole universe, God and the Son of God, should humble Himself like this under the form of a little bread, for our salvation"...in this world I cannot see the Most High Son of God with my own eyes, except for His Most Holy Body and Blood." - St. Francis of Assisi "If angels could be jealous of humans, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion." - St. Maximilian Kolbe "It is not to remain in a golden ciborium that He comes down each day from Heaven, but to find another Heaven, the Heaven of our soul in which He takes delight." - St. Therese of Lisieux, Doctor of the Church "Every Consecrated Host is made to burn Itself up with love in a human heart." - St. John Vianney, the Cure of Ars "When you look at the Crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you then. When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now." - Saint Teresa of Calcutta "Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament has His hands full of graces, and He is ready to bestow them on anyone who asks for them." - St. Peter of Alcantara "From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that life with others," - Pope Saint John Paul II "If we but paused for a moment to consider attentively what takes place in this Sacrament, I am sure that the thought of Christ's love for us would transform the coldness of our hearts into a fire of love and gratitude." - St. Angela of Foligno "Our Redeemer ever present in the most Blessed Sacrament, extends His hands to everyone. He opens His heart and says, 'Come to Me, all of you.'" - St. Raphael Kalinowski, O.C.D "The Eucharist is that love which surpasses all loves in Heaven and on earth," - St. Bernard "The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love; It signifies Love, it produces Love," - St. Thomas Aquinas A Most Blessed Feast day to all of you, Fr.

By: Jim Nakoneshny Tradition! In the popular musical Fiddler on the Roof, the central character Tevye ponders the question of why we do the things we do: That, I can tell you in one word... Tradition. we have traditions for everything... how to eat, how to sleep, even how to wear clothes. For instance, we always keep our heads covered and always wear a little prayer shawl... This shows our constant devotion to God. You may ask, how did this tradition start? I'll tell you I don't know. But it's a tradition! Because of our traditions, everyone knows who he is and what God expects him to do. Even in contemporary society, tradition governs much of the way we live our lives. At Christmas, for example, tradition dictates the way our families celebrate the holiday - what foods we prepare, how we decorate the tree, when the presents are opened, etc. It doesn t stop there. Countless things in our daily lives are ruled by tradition from how we mow our lawns to when we do our laundry; from when and where we take our vacations to who sits where at the dinner table...
