The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ June 23, 2019

[A]s often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. — 1 Corinthians 11:26

The Sanctuary Lamp will be burning this week in Loving Memory of:

Ramiro & Laudelina Martinez

THIS SACRED MEAL

Today we celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Each of the readings includes a blessing and a sharing of food. They remind us of the central place of meals in our lives. Each meal brings to mind other meals: the sharing of cookies and milk, pizza and beer, loaves and fishes, bread and wine. When we prepare a meal for our family, our friends, even strangers, we always put something of ourselves into the preparation and the meal itself. The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ reminds us of what God put into the prepara-tion for this meal that we celebrate today. We share this sacred meal and are transformed as we remember the death of Jesus and the sacrifice that nurtures our faith, sustains our lives, and supports our work.                                         Copyright © J.

ESTE SAGRADO ALIMENTO

Hoy celebramos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Cada una de las lecturas incluyen una bendición y un compartir de alimentos. Lo cual nos recuerda de lo importante que son las comidas en nuestras vidas. Cada comida trae el recuerdo de otras comidas: el compartir galletas y leche, pizza y cerveza, panecillos y pescados, pan y vino. Cuando preparamos una comida para nuestra familia, nuestros ami-gos, aun para personas desconocidas, siempre ponemos algo de nosotros en la preparación y en la comida misma. El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo nos recuerda lo que Dios puso en la preparación para este alimento que celebramos hoy. Compartimos este sagrado alimento y somos transfor-mados al tiempo que recordamos la muerte de Jesús y el sacrificio que nutre nuestra fe, sustenta nuestra vida y apo-ya nuestro trabajo.

Prayer to Saint John the Baptist

God, You raised up St. John the Baptist to prepare a perfect people for Christ. Fill Your people with the joy of possessing His grace,

and direct the minds of all the faithful in the way of peace and salvation. Grant that, as St. John was martyred for truth and justice, so we may energetically profess our Faith in You, and lead others to the Way, the Truth, and Eternal Life. Amen. stjohn.webhero.com/prayer.htm
