THE MOST HOLY BODY
AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
It is no wonder that followers of Christ are called the
Body of Christ. After all, sharing in the same spiritual
food and sacred meal, they become what they eat and
reveal the Divine Image. There is so much power for
healing in the community of believers. Through the
Eucharist, Christ becomes as present in those who have
partaken of his Body and Blood as he has the elements
themselves. The very presence of God touches the
depths of the human soul and visits a part of us that no
human being can ever hope to explore. We are God’s.
The sacred Eucharistic meal is a celebration of intimacy,
the reunion of two loves in constant search of and
longing for the other.
The community of believers receives the power and the
presence to touch and heal in the name of the One they
have welcomed within. It is now within their grasp to
change the way life is lived and to more intentionally put
into practice the Beatitudes that the Divine Guest has
revealed. We are asked to be like Christ and work to
create a world of sufficiency, where the greed of some
no longer creates the want of others but where all of
God’s children can find a home and a place at the table
of life. The One who makes a home within calls us to
live a life that transforms. We are changed ourselves and
now become agents of change for others. We are the
Body of Christ. God is with us. We have been
nourished.
Sadly, many are afraid to try. We know what we are
called to do, but we struggle with feelings of doubt as to
whether God really is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Do our systems have to change? Is it possible that we
somehow missed the mark when we put all of our social
networks in place and established the business of our
lives? Perhaps we have to radically rethink our approach
and that can scare us. We might have to give something
up or change, and we don’t want to. As long as want,
injustice, division, prejudice, and scarcity still exit, there

Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful,
wipe away their tears and help them to trust.
In this time of trial and testing,
teach all of us in the Church
to love one another and to be patient and kind.
Help us to bring the peace of Jesus
to our land and to our hearts.
We come to you with confidence,
knowing that you truly are
our compassionate mother,
health of the sick and cause of our joy.
Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
keep us in the embrace of your arms,
help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus.
Amen.

RELEVANT PRAYERS & RESOURCES
Congratulations to the youth and adults who received the Sacraments
of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation in a special mass on
June 13, 2020. The Rite of Christian initiation (RCIA) journey of the
participants began on September 17, 2019 and was originally
scheduled to culminate during the Easter Vigil. However, the current
pandemic briefly interrupted their journey. Today, we rejoice that with
God’s blessings and the participants’ patience, trust, and faithfulness
through this very unique time in our world they are now one with the
Church. You are an inspiration to us all! We will continue to pray that
as a disciple of Christ you will tell the world what it desperately needs
to hear! Share the story!
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
“All power in heaven and on earth has been
given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all
that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you
always, until the end of the age.”
-Matthew 28:18-20
A special thank you to our dedicated RCIA team, catechists, sponsors,
clergy and all in our parish who beautifully served our RCIA throughout
the year.
If you or someone you know is interested in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults,
classes will start in September. Do not wait, your journey starts today, please
contact Della Doss at [email protected] to start your journey of faith.
God is calling YOU and is waiting for your YES!
