APPRECIATING THE EUCHARIST For centuries today's feast was called Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) and was observed on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. In many countries it has now been moved to Sunday, so that more people may participate in its celebration. In its present form, the liturgy of this day focuses our attention on the meaning of the Eucharist that we celebrate so often. Today's reading from Genesis tells how "Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine" and prayed over Abram. Though it took place nearly two thousand years before Jesus, this event has long been used by the Church as an ancient foreshadowing of the Eucharist. The reading from Paul's Letter to the Corinthians is the same one we hear proclaimed on Holy Thursday, retelling the story of the first blessing and sharing of bread and wine at the Last Supper. Luke's tale of the miraculous feeding of the crowd in today's Gospel is also clearly intended to evoke the Eucharist. Thus today's readings give us three opportunities to deepen our appreciation of the Body and Blood of Christ. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Losing a child to abortion isn’t easy…

But if you give Him the broken pieces, God can make all things new. H.E.A.R.T. provides recovery from pregnancy loss due to abortion. Using a recovery study guide, we look to God and what He promises us; healing and wholeness can return. Through a group process we will look at: realizing we need healing, acknowledging the abortion – breaking the shame, forgiveness, accepting God’s grace, allowing yourself to grieve, self-reconciliation, relationships and ongoing healing. H.E.A.R.T. groups are being held in the Lutz/North Tampa area. Anyone affected by an abortion can attend. The next group will begin shortly. Location is provided to registered participants only. For more information or to register please call Michele at (813) 323-4304 or email: HEART@LifeChoicesWC.org ALL CALLS ARE CONFIDENTIAL

El Santísimo Cuerpo y la Santísima Sangre de Cristo 2 de junio de 2013 Cada vez que ustedes comen de este pan y beben de este cáliz, proclaman la muerte del Señor, hasta que vuelva. — 1 Corintios 11:26 Domingo 2 de Junio. Solemnidad del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo Reflexionando la palabra de Dios La Eucaristía es el mejor medio que tenemos para alimentar y conservar nuestra vida divina. El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo es nuestro manantial de vida eterna. La Eucaristía ocupa el lugar central de nuestra fe. Muchas veces me he preguntado si los católicos somos conscientes de esta realidad que una y otra vez celebramos en nuestros templos. Se abre la Iglesia; entran las personas que van a participar de la misa. Empieza el canto de entrada. El sacerdote comienza el ritual y los asistentes contestan grandes realidades que muchas veces no se adaptan a la vida diaria. Hagamos un recorrido a nuestra Eucaristía. Vamos a la Misa no sólo porque tengamos "la obligación" o "la devoción". Venimos porque es el mismo Señor quién nos ha llamado. Nunca pienses que vas a Misa por tu propio pie. Es el Señor quien te invita. Antes de comenzar medita esto en tu corazón: "Aquí estoy Señor porque me has llamado." Empezamos en el nombre de Dios Padre, Dios Hijo y Dios Espíritu Santo. Me confieso pecador. Veo mi realidad con respecto a Dios y a los demás. Sé que mi vida está siempre llamada a crecer desde mi miseria no desde mi superioridad. La Palabra. Llega la Palabra con su bisturí espiritual. Sabe abrir mis adentros sin destruirme. Ante ella sólo queda la alabanza que sale de mi corazón y de mi boca. Creo con toda la fe de la Iglesia. La Iglesia no es nunca un local privado. La Iglesia es la patria del alma. Las ofrendas. Con el pan y el vino presento ante el Señor mi propia vida para ser alimentada. Pan y vino. Estamos ante Jesús que se nos da una y otra vez. Es una extraña sensación de miseria y grandeza que se encuentran. Mi miseria es mi propia vida. La grandeza es Dios mismo que se me da a través de la Iglesia. La oración. Levanto mis manos y mi alma. Necesito orar y poner ante Dios mi vida y pedirle para que nunca me aparte de su presencia. Cordero de Dios. Se acerca el momento de la comida espiritual. Él se me da porque yo lo acepto. Comunión. La Eucaristía es un misterio de comunión. Recibir la grandeza de Dios en nuestra propia fragilidad. Grandeza que te ayuda a descubrir a Dios como Padre y a los demás como hermanos. P. Jairo
¿Cómo nos podemos preparar para la Misa? La mayoría de las veces nos disponemos a escuchar la misa después de que llegamos al templo, sin embargo, tomando en cuenta que la Misa es un encuentro intenso e íntimo con nuestro Señor, es muy conveniente que tengamos las disposiciones propias y adecuadas, que corresponden a nuestra participación en la celebración de la Misa, y que lo hagamos desde antes de comenzar la celebración. Hagamos nuestro examen de conciencia, pidamos perdón, meditemos acerca de las bendiciones que podemos recibir en la Misa. Es por esta preparación por la que la Iglesia nos pide el ayuno una hora antes de Misa. El sentido de este ayuno no es no revolver la hostia con la comida, eso parecería absurdo, más bien busca disponernos interiormente, hacernos conscientes que no estamos yendo “al cine” o a “una reunión informal”, vamos al encuentro del Señor y por ello debemos disponernos física y espiritualmente para sacar el máximo provecho de este encuentro con Dios. Al respecto el catecismo nos dice: “Para
prepararse convenientemente a recibir este sacramento, los fieles deben observar el ayuno prescrito por la Iglesia. Por la actitud corporal (gestos, vestido) se manifiesta el respeto, la solemnidad, el gozo de ese momento en que Cristo se hace nuestro huésped.” (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica n.1387). Oración para nuestra Comunión Señor queremos ser los granos de tu trigo. Queremos ser el trigo de tu harina. Queremos ser la harina de tu pan. Sé tú el molino que nos hace harina. Y sé Tú el horno que cuece como pan. Señor queremos ser tus viñas. Queremos ser los racimos de tu vino. Queremos ser el vino de tu mesa y de tu comunión. Queremos que nuestra comunión fraterna sea más que nuestras diferencias. Queremos que nuestras diferencias no ahoguen nuestra comunión. Señor queremos ser tu eucaristía para los demás hombres. Porque también nosotros queremos ser el “pan para los demás” Porque también nosotros queremos ser “esa sangre que se derrama por los otros”. (Clemente Sobrado C.P)
Para pensarlo Comulgar es poner en común Hay momentos privilegiados en la vida humana: el encuentro familiar, la comida, que reúne a los de la casa y también a los amigos. En la comida todos participan de lo que hay en la mesa y ponen en común lo que piensan o sienten: penas, inquietudes, gozos, esperanzas. Es el momento de la "comunión". Jesús reúne a los cristianos en torno a su mesa. En este momento privilegiado, el Señor se hace realmente presente bajo los signos del pan y del vino. De este modo, Jesús renueva entre nosotros los gestos y palabras, que un día realizó en su cena de despedida.

Este viernes se celebra la fiesta del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, que vuelve a reflexionar sobre el inmenso amor de Dios y recuerda a las familias el modo en que deben tratarse unos a otros. Muchas familias hispanas tienen la costumbre de entronizar el Sagrado Corazón en sus casas como signo de su deseo de que en ellas reine el amor. El sábado se celebra el Inmaculado Corazón de María. "Al consagrarnos al Corazón de María, descubrimos el camino seguro al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, símbolo del Amor Misericordioso de Nuestro Salvador" S.S. Juan Pablo II, 22 de septiembre de 1986.
¡ATENCION PADRES! Inscripción para Formación de Fe Fecha: 18 y 25 de agosto después de todas las misas y el 4 de septiembre de 6pm - 8pm Donde: Salón St. Michael
