The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ
“Whoever eats this Bread will live forever!”
Today, we celebrate the greatest gift that we will ever receive - THE BODY & BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. As Roman Catholics, we believe that when we receive the Body & Blood of Jesus Christ in Holy Communion, we receive Jesus into our bodies and into our hearts. It is not a symbol of Jesus but the real presence because the bread & wine have been transformed into the Body & Blood of Jesus Christ. We receive Christ into our bodies when we receive a small piece of the Body (Holy Communion host) or just the Blood or when we receive both the Body & the Blood from the chalice. It is a special time for us and we ought to receive this wonderful gift with respect & dignity. We ought to be asking Jesus to make us better disciples and to use our faith to create a more peaceful & just world for all God’s children, beginning with our own families & communities. It is a personal time for us to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ who is the Son of God & King of Peace. Besides the immediate assistance receiving Holy Communion offers us, we are told that we will live forever when we eat this Bread. This “forever’ is eternal life with God in heaven.
So we ask ourselves: ∗Do we celebrate the personal encounter with Jesus Christ in Holy Communion with respect—are our hands clean and hearts pure? ∗Do we pray every day to Jesus to allow are words & action to be more Christ-like & less evil?
“El que come este pan vivirá para siempre!”
Hoy, celebramos el don más grande que jamás reciben EL CUERPO y LA SANGRE DE JESUCRISTO. Como católicos, creemos que cuando recibimos el Cuerpo y Sangre de Jesucristo en la sagrada Comunión, recibir a Jesús en nuestros cuerpos y en nuestros corazones. No se trata de un símbolo de Jesús, sino la presencia real como el pan y el vino se han transformado en el Cuerpo y Sangre de Jesucristo. Recibimos a Cristo en nuestros cuerpos cuando se recibe una pequeña porción del cuerpo (la Santa Comunión host) o simplemente en la sangre o cuando recibimos el Cuerpo y la Sangre del cáliz. Es un tiempo especial para nosotros y que debemos recibir este maravilloso regalo con respeto y dignidad. Tenemos que pedir a Jesús nos hace mejores discípulos y a usar nuestra fe para crear un más pacífico y justo para todos los hijos de Dios, a partir de nuestras propias familias y comunidades. Es un tiempo personal para crecer en nuestra relación con Jesucristo, que es el Hijo de Dios y Rey de la Paz. Además de la asistencia de inmediato recibir la sagrada Comunión nos ofrece, se nos dice que vamos a vivir para siempre, al comer este pan. Este "para siempre" es la vida eterna con Dios en el cielo.
Así que nos preguntamos: ∗¿celebramos el encuentro personal con Jesucristo en la Sagrada Comunión con respecto de las manos limpias y de corazón puro? ∗Podemos rezar cada día a Jesús para que son las palabras y la acción a ser más como Cristo y menos mal? 214-3

Prayer for those graduating from school Father, I have knowledge, so will You show me now, How to use it wisely and find a way somehow To make the world I live in a little better place, And make life with its problems a little bit easier to face. Grant me faith and courage and put purpose in my days, And show me how to serve you in effective ways. So my education, my knowledge and my skill May find their true fulfillment as I learnto do your will. And may I ever be aware in everything I do, That knowledge comes from learning, and wisdom comes from You. Amen.
