3 Dear Parishioners of St. John Parish, I would like to thank all of you for your wishes as I celebrated my anniversary of priesthood and my birthday in May. Thank you for all the tasty cakes, cookies, and dinners, for all donations toward our rectory garden and for all the gifts and cards! I also would like to thank all of you who helped with the rectory garden project. I am happy to have the extra garden space that will allow me to host larger groups. I hope groups like Women s Club, K of C, Youth Group, Fellowship, and others will be able to utilize this space for their gatherings as well. If you would like to join our Garden Club and help to beautify our church grounds, please contact Lori Lucente. The 2019 Mass Book is available. Please stop by or call our office on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays to request Mass intentions. There are Mass intentions that are still available for 2018 as well. We will also have our sacristans available this week in the back of the church to take your Mass intentions. An individual may ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons: for example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as on a birthday, wedding anniversary), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. I am excited that next Saturday we will celebrate 2 weddings at St. John s, Jack Renstrom & Natalie Novak, Randy & Dorothy Piscitelli. Let s keep them and their families in our prayers! If you or someone you know would like to get married at St John s please let me know. Let us continue to keep each other in our prayers, Fr. Karol

4 GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEP- ER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE June 3, 2018 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ In our modern times, symbol can seem to have lost its value. The most recognizable "signs" are ones we see on the road or the branding in advertisements. The logos for major companies don't do much more than perk our interest or disdain. They surely don't deliver on their promises for our lives to be happier, healthier, and easier. On this feast of Corpus Christi, we hear the account of the Last Supper. This was Passover, an ancient sign of the covenant of Moses. The Hebrew people celebrated God's providential care for His people. To the listening disciples, Jesus makes a very bold claim. "This is my blood of the covenant." At the time of the first Passover -- the redemption of the Hebrew people from slavery to the Egyptians -- the blood of the sacrificial lamb was spread on the lintels of the doorpost. Tomorrow, some of the disciples would witness the blood of the new covenant spread across the wood of the cross. Christ's Body and Blood are more than a sign. They are a sacrament. In the sacrament, the sign makes real what it signifies. More than ritual, a sacrament enacts truth of the covenantal love of God and His promise of fidelity. It's a promise God keeps. The same bread and wine of that first Holy Thursday liturgy becomes -- throughout the centuries and until the end of time -- the very Body and Blood of Christ. On this feast, we celebrate the unfailing covenantal love of our God. As you partake in the Eucharist today, and next Sunday, and the Sunday after that, remember that you receive neither a meaningless sign nor an empty offer. You receive God Himself, as He fulfills His promise to remain with us always. MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO - ALENTAR EN- TENDIMIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LA ES- CRITURA (Gospel Meditation) 3 de junio de 2018 el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo La fiesta de este domingo es como repetir o recordar lo que celebramos hace unas semanas el día del Jueves Santo. Jesús hizo por nosotros algo imposible de imaginar en la mente humana. Se dio a sí mismo. Su Cuerpo y su Sangre, comida del cielo para la salvación de todos nosotros. Este es el misterio que celebramos el Jueves Santo y este domingo. Jesús envía a dos de sus discípulos diciéndoles: "Vayan a la ciudad, y les saldrá al encuentro un hombre que lleva un cántaro de agua" (Mc. 14:13). De esa forma encontrarían el lugar para preparar la Cena del Señor. Notemos que en Marcos no se menciona la pascua judía, el cordero, el paso del Mar ni la muerte de los guerreros egipcios. La cena pascual en Marcos es la cena de Jesús, en ella no se mencionan actos de violencia. Al contrario, el sacrificio del Señor es fuente de vida eterna para toda la humanidad de todos los tiempos. Ahora, la Eucaristía es la presencia viva y constante del Señor Jesús por medio de su Cuerpo y su Sangre. Cómo honras la presencia del Cuerpo y la Sangre del Señor? Al comulgar lo haces con reverencia? Recuerda las palabras hermosas de Jesús: "Esto es mi Cuerpo, esta es mi Sangre" (Mc. 14:22-25). Y reflexiona en la siguiente pregunta. A qué nos compromete recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo cada domingo en misa? Sabiendo que actualmente vivimos en un mundo de violencia y corrupción, no debe existir duda para nosotros. Jesús es amor y nos invita a dar amor a nuestro prójimo. Por lo tanto, la Eucaristía debe animarnos a practicar la justicia siempre.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The origins of today s solemnity lie in thirteenth-century Belgium. In those days, people seldom received Holy Communion, and never from the chalice. A nun in a troubled convent, Juliana of Liège, devoted her life to stirring up love for the Eucharist, lobbying for a feast day to honor the Blessed Sacrament with Masses and processions. Juliana may have been inspired by the Ascension Day processions in nearby Bruges. Crusaders brought a treasure home to Bruges from Constantinople in 1204: a reliquary said to contain a cloth from Joseph of Arimathea with which he had helped prepare the body of Jesus for burial. The stain on the cloth was said to be the holy blood itself, and so the people of Bruges built a great basilica to house the relic. Bruges became a great center of pilgrimage because of this treasure, and the procession of the Holy Blood is still one of the greatest festivals in Belgium today. The bishop carries the relic through the narrow streets, and the people wear medieval costumes and act out scenes from the Bible. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
