The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ June 22, 2014

Not by bread alone does one live,

but by every word that comes forth

from the mouth of the LORD. — Deuteronomy 8:3b

AMEN Take a look around the walls of your church. Even if it‘s

only a year or two old, the word ―Amen‖ has resounded

off those walls countless times at the conclusion of the

Eucharistic Prayer and as the faithful have come forward

to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. Today‘s feast is

about those ―Amens‖ offered in faith, offered in times of

trouble or doubt, spoken in joy, spoken mindlessly, but all

given to God in a multitude of ways. It is our very lives

that lie behind our ―Amens‖ and are touched by the pres-

ence of Christ, the presence we celebrate today. More im-

portantly, we celebrate the love of Christ for us shown in

the sacrifice on Calvary and that he continues to give to us

in every celebration of the Eucharist. What can we do but

rejoice in that great love, and then go out into the world

and live that love in sacrificing for others? Copyright © J. S.

New Parishioners

We welcome to our Parish Community:

sign up to volunteer. Run on Behalf of Catholic

Charities: There is no obligation other than saying you

wish to run under our organization's name. Relay teams

count as well...get your team together today! Already

signed up for the marathon? No problem. You can still

run on behalf of Catholic Charities. Volunteer on Behalf

proceeds from this event will go to help fund

camperships to Camp Christopher. Each year, Camp

Christopher welcomes thousands of campers through its

campership funds has never been greater. To register to
