The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Weekend of May 28/29, 2016 From the rich Eucharis c themes to be drawn from today s second reading, one stewardship theme stands out: The Eucharist is Christ s gi to us. Good stewards are grateful for this gi and realize that no ma er their sta on in life, they are welcome to come to the table and receive the body and blood of Christ. If Jesus could break bread with his betrayer, Judas, his denier, Peter, and the other ten who deserted him, then he will welcome us. Do we truly appreciate what a tremendous gi it is to approach the Lord s Table? Do we accept the transforming power of the gi of Christ s body and blood? ~From catholicstewardship.com

ARCHDIOCESAN PRO- LIFE EVENTS, NEWSLETTER, LINKS Go to: Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ The open wound caused by the spear opens The ventricle holding the last of the Sacred Blood of Jesus. Sacred Blood mixed with water slowly oozes down the Holy Body Scalding, cauterizing, purifying the sin of the world. Divine love drop by drop falling as grace, softly touching The God void within every heart. Sacred Blood and Body are given to us as a gift of the Divine to live within us. ~Trudy Bledsoe Bus Drivers: Sunday June 5th, :30 am - Randy Long 10:30 am - Helen Morlock
