The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ Parish News THE OBJECTIVES of SMALL GROUPS For the next several weeks, we ll use this space to share some of the intended outcomes of Holy Martyrs Small Groups Ministry. WE STRIVE TO BE MORE LIKE CHRIST. Living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the body s growth and builds itself up in love. - Ephesians 4:15-16 Our goal is not to remain the same, but to change to become our best selves and to conform our lives more closely to that of Christ. A REQUEST FROM OUR APOSTOLIC ADMINISTRATOR Dear Faithful of the Diocese of Cleveland, It is only by your prayers and the tremendous assistance of so many tireless coworkers, that I have been sustained by the Lord in my duties of shepherding two dioceses. As I enter the sixth month of serving as Apostolic Administrator of Cleveland, I ask you to redouble your prayers that the Lord may give every grace to fulfill this role. Please also remember the intentions of Bishop Richard Lennon in retirement, and of Pope Francis, as we await his appointment of a new bishop for the Diocese of Cleveland.

Everything Belongs (Part II) From last week Once you trust your Vital Center then...divine Incarnation can take the form of an Indwelling Presence in every human soul and surely all creatures in some rudimentary way. Ironically, our human freedom gives us the ability to refuse to jump on board our own life. Angels, animals, trees, water, and yes, bread and wine seem to fully accept and enjoy their wondrous fate. Only humans resist and deny their core identities, which can cause great havoc, and thus must be somehow boundaried and contained. But the only way we ourselves can refuse to jump onto the train of life is by any negative game of exclusion or unlove even of ourselves. When we read the Gospel texts carefully, we see that the only people Jesus seems to exclude are those who exclude others. Exclusion might be described as the core sin. Don t waste any time rejecting, excluding, eliminating, or punishing anyone or anything else. Everything belongs, including you.
