2 THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI) JUNE 07, 2015 Today s Gospel Reflection 1st Reading: Ex 24:3-8 * 116:12-13, * 2nd Reading: Heb 9:11-15 * Gospel: Mk 14:12-16, THANKSGIVING The word thanksgiving most often calls to our mind the holiday in November. But as early as the middle of the second century Justin Martyr referred to the blessed bread and wine of the Lord s Supper as food we call thanksgiving (in Greek eucharistia). The Thanksgiving we celebrate in the autumn is at times marked by a sort of proud societal self congratulation and the consumption of food until we sink into an inert stupor. The thanksgiving that we call our Eucharist is just the opposite: we are led to it by an acknowledgment of our own failings; we remember our humble place in the scheme of things by giving praise to God alone. While the food of Christ s body and blood fills our spiritual hungers, it also creates in us a greater hunger. We are not sent to our spiritual sofas to let the Lord s Supper settle; we are sent to be living signs of that thanksgiving for the world by looking out for the poor and powerless, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, speaking out against the self righteous. In short, the hunger created by our doing in remembrance of Christ must lead us to living in remembrance of him. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.. The cup of salvation I will take up, and I will call upon the name of the LORD. Psalm 116:13 ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS El Día de Acción de Gracias que celebramos en el otoño a veces se ve marcado por una especie de orgullo y autofelicitación por parte de nuestra sociedad, por no hablar de comilonas que nos llevan hasta el estupor. Pero la acción de gracias que en griego se llama Eucaristía es al revés: lo que nos lleva a ella es el reconocimiento de nuestras faltas; recordamos nuestra posición humilde en el universo alabando a Dios, y a nadie más que a Dios. Es verdad que el alimento del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo sacia el hambre de nuestro espíritu, pero también es verdad que ese alimento crea en nosotros un hambre más intensa aun. Al terminar la Misa no nos envían a un sofá espiritual a sentarnos en lo que la Cena del Señor se nos asienta en el estómago; más bien, nos envían al mundo a ser signos vivientes de esa Acción de Gracias, ayudando a los pobres y desvalidos, alimentando a los hambrientos, cuidando a los enfermos, protestando contra las actitudes farisaicas. En fin, el hambre producida en nosotros al hacer el Memorial de Jesús nos tiene que impulsar a vivir en memoria de él. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

3 ST. MICHAEL CHURCH PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO Dear Parishioners and friends, We celebrate today the Solemnity of the Most Holy BODY and BLOOD OF CHRIST, previously observed as the feast of CORPUS CHRISTI (Latin word for Body of Christ). Today we celebrate and pay homage and gratitude to Christ for instituting the Holy Eucharist. Jesus gave to us the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday. This is God s gift to us! The Holy Eucharist is the greatest treasure of the Church because the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ are present in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is one of the signs of the Church founded by Christ. Where the Eucharist is, that is the Church founded by Christ! PASTORS MESSAGE Corpus Christi Sunday is a time when we, Catholics, can show our love for Christ in the Real Presence by honoring Him in a very public way. After the 1:00 p.m. Mass today, we will process the Holy Eucharist around the Church. There will be four different altars representing the four corners of the earth. This is also a wonderful way to show our love for our neighbors by bringing Our Lord and Savior closer to them. Come and join us in the procession. In the Blessed Sacrament, sins are purged away, virtues are increased, the soul is satiated with an abundance of every spiritual gift. No other sacrament is so beneficial. Since it was instituted unto the salvation of all, it is offered by Holy Church for the living and for the dead, that all may share in its treasurers. - St. Thomas Aquinas * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * We would like to thank every one for the success of the 2015 Annual Auction and Car Raffle held on May 30th.

In today s first reading Moses reminds the people of all that God had done for them. The Israelites kept falling into patterns of forgetfulness, not remembering the great things that God had accomplished. On this Trinity Sunday, perhaps we need this kind of reminder as well. The Lord has given us the gift of this community of faith in which we celebrate the sacraments and continually taste and see God s abundant goodness. We stand in awe on this day of the liturgical year. We are awed by our God who has done wondrous things for us. And for all that this God Father, Son, and Holy Spirit has done, we give thanks and praise. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright J. S.

St. Ephrem Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life O God, throughout the ages you have called women and men to pursue lives of perfect charity through the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience. During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. THE EUCHARIST Just as the bread, which is made from the earth, when God is invoked is no longer common bread but the Eucharist, both earthly and heavenly, so our bodies, after we have received the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, since they hold the hope of the resurrection.
