Second, Jesus gave us the Eucharist Curious, he speaks to him on the for us to be united… road, “How is it that to draw us together you, Catholics, as one community do not offer of believers, thus anything when St.Paul said that you attend your when we receive Holy Mass?” “Our Communion, we all receive the religion is different,” same Jesus. We become one the Catholic answers. “You family united by the very bread SUNDAY pagans are required to offer and wine at the table of the lord. something to your god Different we maybe in status, whenever you worship. in principle, in every aspect of life, but It is different for us Catholics.

According to communion. True indeed, our God is the theologians, the Eucharist is not intended one who is generously extending his hand and opening his heart for us, up to the point to perfect those who were perfect already. Jesus gave us the Eucharist because he knew of giving his very Son, Jesus, for our sake that we are imperfect and that the Eucharist and our salvation. It is good to note three important realities will enable us to become what we ought to become, thus Jesus always reminding as we acknowledge Jesus’ Body and Blood. First, Jesus is present in every Eucharistic us, be holy. The Eucharist is a food for our journey as St. Thomas Aquinas puts it, “O celebration. Jesus said to his disciples: “The esca viatorum,”—sarong pagkakann para sa one who feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has life eternal.” Everytime we go and satong pagbaklay. Through the Eucharist, we unite ourselves to Jesus in a very personal attend Mass, we are not hoping that Jesus way, depending upon the disposition will also come to the church, as if, he is not we have. Thus, even if we experience here physically present. Jesus’ presence is communal guidance and graces from neither dependent on our own sentiment, feeling, or even holiness of life.

Reflection
GIYA PARA SA PRAYER MEETING
Mateo 10:26-33
Domingo 12, Ord. Panahon (Taon A) “KAYA DAI kamo matakot.” May tulong rason: Enot, “Ta mayong natatahuban na dai mahahayag, asin mayong hilom na dai maaaraman.” Kaugmahan kan demonyo an maggibong LECTIO karàtan sa diklom. Alagad, an gabos na ini mahahayag sa maabot na panahon. Ikaduwa, “Dai kamo matakot sainda na naggagadan nin hawak, alagad dai makakagadan kan kalag.” Limitado sana an kakayahan kan demonyo. Ikatulo, siring sa maya, gabos kita mahalaga sa mata kan Dyos. Ano an sakong kinakatakutan?
Divina
“An itinaram ko saindo sa diklom, isabi nindo sa liwanag; an nadangog kan saindong mga talinga, iharubay nindo sa ibabaw kan mga bubungán.” Sinusugo kita ni Jesus na dai sana ihinghing an saiyang mga katukduan kundi ikurahaw ini tanganing dakul an makadangog. Minsan, nagpipili sana kita kan mga madaling sabuton asin magian itukdo na mga katukduan ni Jesus, alagad linilikayan ta idtong makakapukaw nin kontrobersiya asin makakaraot nin iribanan. Arin an urog na mahalaga sa sako, an katukduan ni Jesus o an marhay na iribanan? “Kaya an sisay man na magmidbid sako sa atubang kan mga tawo, ako man mimidbidon ko sya sa atubang kan Ama kong yaon sa langit.” An pagsaksi ginigibo sa atubangan kan mga tawo. Ini nangyayari sa paagi nin pagtukdo asin pagsamba. An tawong banal sa Domingo kun nagsisimba alagad maraot pag-abot sa ibang aldaw kan semana bakong tunay na saksi. Napupukan sana an gabos na itinutugdas nya sa aldaw na Domingo huli kan karàtan na ginibo nya sa ibang aldaw. Pàno ako magsaksi ki Jesus sa atubang kan mga tawo? n The Eucharist that we remember and celebrate this Sunday embodies everything what Jesus did for us, and everything that Jesus is for us. If we are intimate to Jesus by receiving communion regularly and worthily, Jesus will not abandon us. He said: “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks My Blood remains in Me and I in him.” n
