INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK —

In his mercy, Jesus sent his Apostles into ministry — and the Apostles are still ministering today. We see them in the sanctuary, in the confessional. They are our priests, sent to shepherd Christ’s sheep. This week, let’s pray for our shepherds.

Question of the Week — Jesus commissioned his 12 Apostles to carry on his missionary work of healing the sick and exorcising unclean spirits. Do you have a sense of mission for your life? What is it?

QUESTION OF THE WEEK — Jesus teaches the crowds that whoever eats his body and drinks his blood will live forever. Who could you invite this week to attend Sunday Mass and receive the Eucharist with you?

Virtues, EXPLAINED!

Gratitude pays a kind of “moral debt.” Children owe it to their parents; citizens owe it to their country. The Eucharist is the most perfect act of gratitude, wherein God is acknowledged as the source of all good.

INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK —The starving Israelites found their physical salvation in manna, “a food unknown to your fathers.” We find our spiritual salvation in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, a food unknown to too many souls. Blessed are we to partake of the Bread of Life.

Corpus Christi Prayer —

O Precious Jesus, The gift of your Body and Blood, shared with us, is unfathomable.
Like manna that satiated our hunger, fill us where we lack.
Like the bread given to Elijah in the desert, sustain us.
Grace us with a glimpse into your love for us,
now and forever, present in the Eucharist.
Amen.

This weekend, we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi.

May this beautiful feast draw us deeper into our love for Christ, who is truly present in the Eucharist.

See you at Mass!
