Kings 4142-44 lEphesians 4:r-5 / John 6:r-15
My lrish aunt's motto was, "lf there aren't left-overs, somebody went away hungry." The motto is shared by aunts, mothers, and grandmothers in nearly every culture. During holidays, our table was a groaning board of food prepared by my mother and aunt, brought by other family members, and shared with everyone. On the many occasions when we had more guests than we realized, the whispered command, "FHB," would make its way through our house. The initials stood for "Family, Hold Back," because our first duty was to make sure that our guests had enough to eat, and there were always peanut butter sandwiches and apples for us later. Whenever I think of the miracle of the loaves and fishes, I think about holidays at our house. lmpossibly, it seemed, everyone had more than enough to eat. There were always leftovers. But Jesus started with far less than we did. The five barley loaves and two fish were a meager beginning, food of the poor. That food became abundant in Jesus' hand. lt wasn't the first miraculous multiplication. The Old Testament prophets, Elijah and Elisha, both multiplied scarce resources, but not for so many. Jesus outdoes them all. lt is John's way of saying that Jesus isn't just another prophet. He is more powerful than any who came before him. As we will hear in the coming weeks, he is life itself. This is John's eucharistic story. The life that Jesus brings is abundant-we will all be satisfied. Think about that when you next receive Communion. M a

If curwated wine is truly the Preciors Blood hcnv can it have any alodld cltmt? I have wr Eudrarisicmini$ers drink what remains in their orp. Isr't the pries slppomd to drink any that rqrains?

In

However, the accidents remain. Accidents are anlhing that your physical senses could perceive. This is in contrast to the substance that is what something really is. So it looks like wine, it tastes like wine, and all the physical properties of wine-including the alcohol content-remain. But it really is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus. This is a profound mystery. The Eucharist can only be understood by trusting in the words of our Savior. A celebrating or con-celebrating priest must receive both species, but he does not have to be the last to drink. However, all of the Precious Blood must be consumed at the service.

Next week we welcome Father Gerald Singu from the Catholic Diocese of Geita in Tanzania who will be speaking on the work of the Church in his country.
"The diocese of Geita in particular faces daily challenges on evangelization. The majority of our people live at a subsistence level. They live under one dollar per day. Due to the low income of the people, the diocese has limited funds to accomplish the many missions we plan. Other financial ;. , .,.,.. ..' problems are high inflation of our local *. :

means that the bread and wine change at a substantial level, but the accidents remain. The bread becomes the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. The wine becomes the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ. Christ is not divided. So if someone receives just the host, he has received the fullness of Jesus Christ. And if someone only drinks from the chalice, he also receives the fullness of Jesus
