THE FIRST READING: READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the Genesis Chapter 18 beginning at the 1st verse.
The LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down to the ground. He said, "My lord, if I find favor with you, do not pass by your servant. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on--since you have come to your servant." So they said, "Do as you have said.” And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Make ready quickly three measures of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes.” Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. They said to him, "Where is your wife Sarah?" And he said, "There, in the tent.” Then one said, "I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent entrance behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?” The LORD said to !3
Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’ Is anything too wonderful for the LORD? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son.� But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "Oh yes, you did laugh." Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.

THE EPISTLE READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in Romans Chapter 5 beginning at the 1st verse.
Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person--though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.
THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you. And also with you. A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory to Christ our Saviour. !4
Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.� Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. [Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for laborers deserve their food. Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. As you enter the house, greet it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. "See, I am sending !5
you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues; and you will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and the Gentiles. When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you at that time; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.�] The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord

From The Rector’s Notebook Greetings: The Solemnity of Corpus Christi a feast in thanksgiving for the Institution of the Holy Eucharist. (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19-20; John 6:51-58; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26) Traditionally it falls on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday, although in some places it is transferred to the following Sunday. Since the time of the church in the Acts of the Apostles, Christians have been celebrating the Eucharist. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Acts 2: 42 The breaking of bread or the Eucharist is the sacred meal in which Christians receive the body and blood of Christ. Our Lord instituted this holy Eucharist on the evening of the day before he was crucified, that is Maundy Thursday. As christians, sacrament is Confirmation, Ordination and has traditionally
we hold the view that every to be celebrated, Baptism, Penance, Marriage, Anointing, Marriage; however the Eucharist held a special place among us.
To illustrate this, Ignatius of Antioch (105 AD) referred to the Eucharist as the "medicine of immortality" (Ignatius - Letter to the Ephesians 20:2). !7
Ignatius considered the sacrament to be of such high excellency that he also had this to say "I have no taste for the food that perishes nor for the pleasures of this life. I want the Bread of God which is the Flesh of Christ, who was the seed of David; and for drink I desire His Blood which is love that cannot be destroyed.” -Letter to the Romans, paragraph 7, circa 80-110 A.D. Another Church Father, St. Basil of Caesarea also known as Basil the Great (329- 379) helps us to understand what makes the memory of Christ and hence Corpus Christi important and always to be remembered. What is the mark of those who eat the Bread and drink the Cup of Christ? That they keep in perpetual remembrance Him who died for us and rose again.” - Basil the Great The Morals, Ch. 22 Corpus Christi then reminds us of the tremendous love that God almighty has for us in leaving for us the spiritual food and drink that enables us to live for ever. On this Sunday let us as renew our relationship recognizing that he calls glamour or glory in order the only God.
we do each week truly with our loving God, us to worship without that we way glorify him

HEALTH CORNER: BY SOPHIA MARSHALL, Ph.d It’s Father’s Day and most of us will be taking daddy to a nice restaurant for a special lunch today. Of course you should enjoy your meal but should be sensible in your choices, particularly if you have health challenges. Here are a few tips to help you to make healthy food choices and reduce your caloric intake. 1. Ask for butter, cream cheese, salad dressings, sauces and gravies to be served on the side, so you can control the quantity you consume. 2. Instead of fried meat or fish, select baked, broiled or grilled options. 3. Choose desserts carefully. Fresh fruit, fruit ice, sorbet, gelatin are good alternatives to more traditional fat- and cream-laden desserts. Use fat-free or 1% milk in coffee instead of cream or half-and-half. 4. Skip high-fat toppings such as bacon bits, cheese and croutons. They can add hundreds of calories to your meal. 5. Ask for water or order fat-free or low-fat milk, unsweetened tea, or other drinks without added sugars. If you choose to drink alcoholic beverages, select options with fewer calories. One large Margarita cocktail is nearly 600 calories vs one rum and coke which is 200 calories. 6. Listen to your stomach, eat slowly and stop when you are full. 7. About 1-2 hours before going to the restaurant, have a small, healthy snack (apple, small salad). 8. Most of all enjoy the time spent with daddy!
