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.

We will have a Eucharistic Procession after the 11am Mass around our parking lot with coffee and cookies to follow. Hope to see you there!

Virtues, EXPLAINED!
We see perfect obedience shown by Christ amidst his agony in the garden. His human will dreads what will come, but his divine will, which is never at odds with his human will, submits to the Truth: “Yet, not as I will, but as you will.” (Matthew 26:39)

St. Boniface, often called the “Apostle of Germany,” was an English Benedictine monk who became one of the most influential missionaries of the early Middle Ages. Born around 675, he left his homeland to evangelize the Germanic peoples, bringing organization, education, and renewed Christian life to the region. Known for his boldness—famously cutting down the sacred oak of Thor to show the power of Christ—he founded monasteries, reformed clergy, and strengthened ties between the Church in Europe and the papacy. Boniface was martyred in 754 while preparing converts for confirmation, and his legacy endures as a model of courage, clarity of faith, and missionary zeal.

St. Charles Lwanga and his companions were a group of twenty-two young Christian pages and officials in the court of King Mwanga II of Buganda (modern‑day Uganda) who were martyred for their faith in 1885–1887. Amid fierce persecution, Charles—only in his twenties—became a courageous leader who protected younger boys from exploitation and strengthened the community of new believers. Refusing to renounce Christ, he and his companions were burned alive at Namugongo on June 3, 1886. Their steadfast witness helped ignite the growth of Christianity throughout East Africa, and they are honored as patron saints of African youth and Catholic action.

On June 11, 2026, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Parishes around the country are encouraged to join the bishops in celebrating the consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart.
The Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus draws its daily devotions from the Litany of the Sacred Heart. Each day reflects on the wisdom of saints and pontiffs on the Sacred Heart and offers opportunities for prayer and action, framed by Pope Francis’ encyclical Dilexit Nos (He Loved Us) and Pope Leo XIV’s apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te (I Have Loved You).

Salvation is a gift God dearly wishes us to accept. It is not a yardstick against which He measures our worth. He has made it so simple. So, will we accept?
