ST. TERESA OF AVILA

PRAY FOR US! “Doing our own will is usually what harms us.” St. Teresa of Avila

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR St. John Bosco (1815-1888), better known as “Don Bosco”, was not only a skilled administrator, missionary and educator of boys. God also chose on occasion to work miracles through him. One feast day, all the boys in his “Oratory” school at Turin, Italy were scheduled to receive Holy Communion from him at Mass. When Communion time came, however, he opened the ciborium containing the sacred hosts and found it almost empty, while 650 students were lined up to receive! (The sacristan of the Chapel almost fainted when he saw the surprised look of the Saint as he took the cover off the ciborium. The Sacristan had completely forgotten to put out another ciborium filled with altar breads to be consecrated during that Mass!)

Don Bosco paused only a moment. Then he lifted his eyes to heaven, breathed a little prayer, grasped the ciborium and started to administer Communion to the kneeling boys. Marvel upon marvels, each time he removed a host, another appeared to replace it. Thus, there were enough to take care of 650 students, and probably some left besides. Naturally, this miraculous multiplication could not be kept quiet at the Oratory. His associates asked St. John about it, and he agreed that something remarkable had occurred. “God is good” he said, “and He saw to it that the boys were taken care of.”

Today we celebrate Corpus Christi – the Church’s special feast in honor of the Eucharistic Body and Blood of Christ. Appropriately, the gospel chosen relates Jesus’ feeding the 5000 by multiplying the loaves and fishes. It was a miracle clearly foreshadowing the institution of the Eucharist. Our Lord has not often been called upon to multiply already consecrated hosts, as He did for Don Bosco. In truth, it is a miracle that at every Mass in the world, since Holy Thursday, Christ has multiplied Himself as Eucharistic food. Thus, the faithful, as today’s gospel says, “have all eaten and were satisfied.”

The Reverend Edward J. Smith, Pastor
