Good morning all! Peace be with you.
"Today is the day that sets us apart from the rest of the Christian world, the feast of Corpus Christi ( the body and blood of Jesus himself). It is a real gift given to us! So today when Father offers you first the true body of Jesus and then the true blood of Jesus know how blessed and loved you are by God! Jesus said He will be with us always til the end of time and the Eucharist is his way of doing that for us! So today when you say AMEN remember what He has done for you and me and thank Him! "
Have a blessed Sunday!
This beautiful sentiment was sent by Tom Gabel.

An excerpt from Blessed is She Blog
"On this glorious feast of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit invites us to open all the doors and windows in the houses of our hearts.
During that first Pentecost, Scripture says that the Holy Spirit’s presence “filled the entire house in which they were” (Acts 2:2). The entire house. Today, He wants to fill the entire house of your heart, too.
How do we let Him do this? The Gospel for today’s Mass During the Day (see John 20:19-23) provides the answer: “And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit’” (John 20:22).
Jesus is the One Who breathes the Holy Spirit into our hearts. For His breath to reach us, we must be open to Him.
Sometimes we like to keep the Lord at arm’s length, letting Him see only the rooms that are “suitable.” But His desire is to fill our entire house (our entire heart!), and that means letting Him be close enough to behold every corridor.
What rooms might you be withholding from the Holy Spirit? Draw close to Jesus today. Invite Him into the interior of your house. Ask Him to breathe on you. Open the windows and let the “strong driving wind” touch every corner!"
