“Here  are  my  mother  and  my  brothers!    Whoever  does  the  will  of  God  is  my  brother  

and  sister  and  mother.”  Mark  3.20-­‐35    

Sunday,  June  10th,  2018  10th  Sunday  in  Ordinary  Time  

Year  B    

Reflection:   Jesus,   our   path   to   salvation,   calls   us  brother   and   sister   and   commands   that   we   do   the  will  of  God.    From  the  beginning,  God  has  promised  his  people  redemption.  His  love  is  stronger  than  sin  and  prevails  over  evil.  Jesus  comes  to  us  to  embody  that   love   and   set   an   example   for   us   to   follow.   In  doing  God’s  will,  he  shows  us  the  way  to  the  Father  and   calls   us   to   do   the   same   on   our   journey   to  eternal  life.  LITURGY  OF  THE  WORD   In  Genesis,  sin  enters   the   world   as   Adam   and   Eve   yield   to   the  serpent’s   temptation.   Paul’s   Letter   to   the  Corinthians   urges   believers   not   to   be   discouraged:  our   earthly   dwelling   fades,   but   life   in   the   Lord   is  eternal.  Mark’s  Gospel  shows  Jesus  being  described  by  the  scribes  as  “possessed.”  Jesus  responds  with  a  promise   that   doing   the   will   of   God   makes   us   his  brothers  and  sisters.  

Baptisms:    Charlie  Ewan,  son  of  John  and  Shannon  BURKE.   Amalie   Aurora,   daughter   of   Janine   and   Peter  HARMS.    Felix  William,  son  of  Nina  and  Ryan  HOWETT.

Only   the  Body  and  Blood  of   Jesus  Christ,   the   food  of   life,  can  satisfy  the  hunger  of  hearts  for   love,  a  universal  experience,  Pope  Francis  said  during  Mass  this  past  Sunday.  “In  life,  we  constantly  need  to  be  fed:   nourished   not   only   with   food,   but   also   with  plans  and  affection,  hopes  and  desires.  We  hunger  to  be  loved.  But  the  most  pleasing  compliments,  the  finest  gifts  and  the  most  advanced  technologies  are  not  enough;   they  never  completely   satisfy  us,”   the  pope  said  June  3.  

“The  Eucharist  is  simple  food,  like  bread,  yet  it  is  the  only  food  that  satisfies,  for  there  is  no  greater  love,”  he   added.   “There   we   encounter   Jesus   really;   we  share  his  life  and  we  feel  his  love.”  

“Let  us   choose   this   food  of   life!   Let  us  make  Mass  our  priority!  Let  us  rediscover  Eucharistic  adoration  in   our   communities!   Let   us   implore   the   grace   to  hunger  for  God,  with  an  insatiable  desire  to  receive  what  he  has  prepared  for  us,”  the  pope  said.  

The   pope   gave   his   homily   for   Corpus   Christi   at   a  Mass   in  Ostia,   a  neighborhood  on   the   coast  at   the  outskirts   of   Rome,   in   front   of   the   parish   of   Santa  Monica.  Since  1978,  this  Mass  had  been  held  at  the  Archbasilica  of  St.  John  Lateran.  

Before   that,   however,   the   Mass   had   been  celebrated   in   different   areas   of   Rome.   Corpus  Christi   was   last   celebrated   in   Ostia   in   1968   by   Bl.  Pope  Paul  VI.  

 

 

Following  Mass,  Pope  Francis  led  a  Eucharistic  procession  of   around   three   quarters   of   a   mile   in   length.   The  procession   passed   through   the   streets   of   the   district,  ending  with   solemn  Benediction  with   the  Holy   Eucharist  near  the  parish  of  Our  Lady  of  Bonaria.  

Among   the   community   participants   of   the   procession  were   approximately   850   recent   first   communicants,  dressed   in   white,   and   around   350   recently   confirmed  young  people.  

In   his   homily,   the   pope   referenced   the   day’s   Gospel  passage,  with  the  account  of  the  Last  Supper.  Throughout  the   Gospels,   the   word   “prepare,”   is   repeated,   Francis  pointed  out,  like  when  the  disciples  ask  Jesus  where  they  should  prepare  to  eat  the  Passover.    Later,  during  Jesus’s  third  appearance  to  his  disciples  after  the  resurrection,  he  tells  them:  “I  go  to  prepare  a  place  for  you…”Jesus’  words  to  his  disciples  are  also  for  us.  He  prepares  a  place  for  us  and  asks  us  to  be  prepared,  the  pope  said.  “What  does  he  prepare  for  us?  A  place  and  a  meal,”  said  Pope  Francis.  

“Jesus   prepares   a   place   for   us   here   below,   because   the  Eucharist   is   the  beating  heart  of   the  Church.   It  gives  her  birth   and   rebirth;   it   gathers   her   together   and   gives   her  strength.  But  the  Eucharist  also  prepares  for  us  a  place  on  high,  in  eternity,  for  it  is  the  Bread  of  heaven.”  

Francis   explained   that   the   Eucharist   is   God’s   concrete  promise   of   what   awaits   his   followers   in   heaven.   “The  Eucharist   is   our   ‘reservation   for   the   heavenly   banquet,”  he   said.   “It   is   Jesus   himself,   as   food   for   our   journey  towards  eternal  life  and  happiness.”  

When   Catholics   worship   Jesus   in   the   Eucharist,   they  receive  the  Holy  Spirit  and  find  peace  and  joy,  he  said.  

Jesus  is  asking  Christians  today  to  go  and  prepare  a  place,  but   he   does   not   prefer   “exclusive,   selective   places,”   the  pope  continued.  “He  looks  for  places  untouched  by  love,  untouched   by   hope...”   Everyone   knows   people   who   are  lonely,   troubled,   or   in   need:   “they   are   abandoned  tabernacles,”  Francis  said.  Those  who  receive  Jesus  in  the  Eucharist,   “are   here   to   prepare   a   place   and   a   meal   for  these,  our  brothers  and  sisters  in  need.”  

“Jesus  became  bread  broken  for  our  sake;  in  turn,  he  asks  us   to   give   ourselves   to   others,   to   live   no   longer   for  ourselves   but   for   one   another.   In   this   way,   we   live  “eucharistically,”  pouring  out  upon  the  world  the  love  we  draw  from  the  Lord’s  flesh.”
