1 Saint Maron Maronite Catholic Church April 28-29, 2018 GOD BLESS OUR FIRST COMMUNICANTS Congratulations to our First Communicants who will be receiving their First Communion today. This is a very special day for them and their parents. Mrs. Rosemarie Marrone has been instructing them on this special day all year and I am confident that they are well prepared for this special sacrament. Today as they receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, may this day bring them closer to Him and may their actions be pleasing to God. It is by receiving our Lord in the Eucharist that we are nourished and filled with His love. On behalf of this entire community, we thank Rosemarie Marrone and Zeina Topalian for their direction and hard work on making this day special for our children. May Almighty God bless our children and nourish them with His great love and mercy. Mabrook!!!! THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST IN THE EUCHARIST In Saint Paul s First Letter to the Corinthians, there is found the oldest passage in the New Testament concerning the actual celebration of the Eucharist: For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and QUOTE OF THE WEEK Every morning during meditation, I prepare myself for the whole day's struggle. Holy Communion assures me that I will win the victory; and so it is. I fear the day when I do not receive Holy Communion. This bread of the Strong gives me all the strength I need to carry on my mission and the courage to do whatever the Lord asks of me. The courage and strength that are in me are not of me, but of Him who lives in me - it is the Eucharist. St. Faustina Fr. Vincent Farhat, Pastor Fr. David Fisher, Weekend Assistant Fr. Richard Cannuli, Weekend Assistant Mrs. Zeina Topalian, Religious Education Director Address: 1013 Ellsworth Street, Philadelphia, PA Office: Hall Reservations: Evening Emergency Number: or Website: Church Office: saintmaronphiladelphia@hotmail.com Instagram Facebook Page: Saint Maron Maronite Catholic Church of Philadelphia OFFICE HOURS: The Church office will be open Monday through Thursday from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm.
2 said, This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:23-27 New American Bible (Revised Edition/NABRE) So often we tend to define the Church as an institution rather than as an event. By reflecting upon the nature of the Eucharistic celebration we rediscover that the Church is not just another human institution or even just another religion within the pantheon of world religions, rather it is the event in which God transforms men and women through the Prayer of Great Thanksgiving = Eucharist, by receiving together as brothers and sisters in the Lord, his Body and Blood. The Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us of the essential elements of the liturgy by which Our Lord promised he would be present to his Church: 1352 The anaphora: with the Eucharistic Prayer - the prayer of thanksgiving and consecration - we come to the heart and summit of the celebration the Church gives thanks to the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, for all his works: creation, redemption, and sanctification In the epiclesis, the Church asks the Father to send his Holy Spirit on the bread and wine, so that by his power they may become the body and blood of Jesus Christ and so that those who take part in the Eucharist may be one body and one spirit. In the institution narrative, the power of the words and the action of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, make sacramentally present under the species of bread and wine Christ's body and blood, his sacrifice offered on the cross once for all. The Catechism of the Catholic Church The firm belief that Christ is present in the bread and wine offered by Holy Church to the Holy Trinity, to be transformed into the Body and Blood of its Savior, is held as an article of faith by all the Ancient Churches (Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Ancient Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian Orthodox). In the disciples encounter with the Risen Lord on the road to Emmaus in Luke s Gospel, there is given to the Church the Apostolic Witness that Christ is really present in Word (Sacred Scripture) and Eucharistic Mystery (Bread and Wine): And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us? - Luke 24:30-32 (NABRE) In the Catholic Church the reawakening of liturgical theology that began in the nineteenth century and has continued forward in dialogue with the Orthodox Churches has led to the rediscovery that the Eucharist makes the Church. The Church is the Body of Christ in the world because its Eucharistic Lord and Savior, is present in the Holy Mysteries given to the faithful. Rev. David A.

5 Saint Maron Maronite Catholic Church First Reading Ephesians 2:1-10 April 28-29, 2018 A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians. Your blessing father Brothers and Sisters: You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by grace you have been saved and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. Praise be to God always. فصل من رسالة القد يس بولس إلى أهل أفسس ات ا ب ز ال ت ك م وخ ط اي اك م ت ي وأ ن ت م فق د ك ن ت م أ م و يا إ خو ر ئ يس س ل ط ان الج و أ ي الر وح ال ذي ي ع م ل اآلن في الع ص ي ان أ ب ن اء في ش ه وات إ ن س ان ن ا الج س د ي ع ام ل ين ب ر غ ب ات ه وأ فك ار ه وك ن ا ب الط ب يع ة أ والد الغ ض ب ك الب اق ين ب ر ح م ت ه ف ل ك ث ر ة م ح ب ت ه ال تي أ ح ب ن ا ب ه ا م خ ل صون ب ل ط ف ه ل ن ا في الم س يح ي س وع. ات في الم س يح ي س وع أ ج ل س ن ا في الس م او وم ع ه أ ق ام ن ا و م ن األ ع م ال ل ئ ال ي ف ت خ ر أ ح د ن س ل ك فيه ا. فأ ع د ه ا ل ك ي والتسبيح هلل دائما. ب ح س ب س ل ك ت م فيه ا م ن ق ب ل ب ح س ب إ له هذ ا الع ال م ال تي وم ن ه م ن ح ن أ ي ض ا ج م يع ن ا ق د س ل ك ن ا م ن ق ب ل وه و الغن ي لك ن هللا ات ا ب ز ال ت ن ا أ ح ي ان ا مع الم س يح وب الن ع م ة أ ن ت م وق د ك ن ا ن ح ن أ ي ض ا أ م و ل ي ظ ه ر في األ ج يال اآلت ي ة غ ن ى ن ع م ت ه الف ائ ق ة ف ب الن عم ة أ ن ت م م خ ل ص ون ب واس ط ة اإل ي م ان: وهذ ا ل ي س م ن ك م إ ن ه ع ط ي ة هللا. أل ن ن ا ن ح ن ص ه و وال ن ع ه ق د خ ل ق ن ا في الم س يح ي س وع ل أل ع م ال الص ال ح ة ال تي س ب ق هللا
6 Gospel Reading Saint John 21:15-19 The Apostle Writes: When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon son of John, do you love me more than these? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my lambs. A second time he said to him, Simon son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Tend my sheep. He said to him the third time, Simon son of John, do you love me? Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, Do you love me? And he said to him, Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go. (He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, Follow me. This is the truth. Peace be with you. م ن إ ن ج يل الق د يس يوحن ا ب ع د الغ د اء ق ال ي س وع ل س م ع ان ب ط ر س:»ي ا س م ع ان ب ن ي ون ا أ ت ح ب ن ي أ ك ث ر م م ا ي ح ب ن ي هؤ الء «. ق ال ل ه : مع ان ب ن»ن ع م ي ا ر ب أ ن ت ت ع ل م أ ن ي أ ح ب ك «. ق ال ل ه ي س وع:»إ ر ع ح م الن ي«. ق ال ل ه م ر ة ث ان ي ة : «ي ا س ي ون ا أ ت ح ب ن ي «. ق ال ل ه :»ن ع م ي ا ر ب أ ن ت ت ع ل م أ ن ي أ ح ب ك «. ق ال ل ه ي س وع:»إ ر ع ن ع اج ي!«. ق ال ل ه م ر ة ث ال ث ة:»ي ا س م ع ان ب ن ي ون ا أ ت ح ب ن ي «. ف ح ز ن ب ط ر س أل ن ي س وع ق ال ل ه ث الث م ر ات: أ ت ح ب ن ي ف ق ال ل ه :»ي ا ر ب أ ن ت ت ع ل م ك ل ش يء و أ ن ت ت ع ر ف أ ن ي أ ح ب ك «. ق ال ل ه ي س وع:»إ ر ع خ ر اف ي! أ لح ق ٱلح ق أ ق ول ل ك : ح ين ك ن ت ش اب ا ك ن ت ت ش د ح ز ام ك ب ي د ي ك وت س ير إ لى ح ي ث ت ر يد. ولك ن ح ين ت ش يخ س ت ب س ط ي د ي ك وآخ ر ي ش د ل ك ح ازم ك وي ذ ه ب ب ك إ لى ح ي ث ال ت ر يد«. ق ال ي س وع ذل ك م شير ا إ لى الم يت ة ال ت ي س ي م ج د ب ه ا ب ط ر س هللا. ث م ق ال ل ه :»إ ت ب ع ن ي!«. حق ا واألمان لجميعكم.
