SS. CORPO E SANGUE DI CRISTO
Il mistero dell'Eucaristia rientra a sua volta nel mistero del piano
d'amore di Dio, che offre suo Figlio per la vita del mondo. Coloro che
si accostano al pane di vita senza finzione e non per abitudine, sanno
che lì c'è la risposta a tutto il loro essere cristiani: salvati
dall'amore, portati a nuova vita, membri di una chiesa di fratelli,
nell'atto di pregustare la gioia senza fine si nutrono di Cristo in
quanto «parola di vita eterna» e «pane che dà la vita al mondo».
THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
Today’s solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ celebrates the
present of his presence among us in the Eucharist. It celebrates
“present” in two senses. First, as gift. The Eucharist is Christ’s gift
of self, his self-giving in his Body and Blood that we share, and in
divine grace as we honor him in the Blessed Sacrament through our prayer
and adoration. The second sense of “present” is “now.” Christ is with us
now just as really and truly as he was with the hungry people who shared
the multiplied loaves and fishes. The presence of Christ is a real
Body-and-Blood presence, but a sacramental presence. It is his way of
being-with-us, a personal presence that leads to our adoration.
|
Then taking the five
loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing
over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the
crowd. They all ate and were satisfied. And when the leftover fragments
were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets. - Lk 9:16-17
SUNDAY MASS, CENTER OF CHRISTIAN LIFE
We “need to give priority in
pastoral programs to appreciation of the importance of Sunday Mass. We
must motivate Christians to take an active part in it. And if possible, to
bring their families, which is even better.
The participation of parents with their children at Sunday Mass is an
effective way of teaching the faith, and it is a close bond that maintains
their unity with one another. Sunday, throughout the church’s life, has
been the privileged moment of the community’s encounter with the risen
Lord.
Christians should be aware that they are not following a character from
past history but the living Christ, present in the today and the now of
their lives. He is the living one who walks alongside us, revealing to us
the meaning of events, of suffering and death, of rejoicing and feasting,
entering our homes and remaining there, feeding us with the bread that
gives life. For this reason Sunday Mass must be the center of Christian
life.
The encounter with Christ in the Eucharist calls forth a commitment to
evangelization and an impulse toward solidarity; it awakens in the
Christian a strong desire to proclaim the Gospel and to bear witness to it
in the world so as to build a more just and humane society.
From the Eucharist in the course of the centuries an immense wealth of
charity has sprung forth of sharing in the difficulties of others, of love
and of justice.”
(Pope Benedict XVI, Address
to CELAM)

THE CATHOLIC STANDARD, HOLY ROSARY
CHURCH, AND YOU!
The amount our parish of Holy Rosary
assessment for the fiscal year that starts July 1 for the weekly Catholic
newspaper Catholic Standard, is $2,571.50. The Catholic Standard is the
first and best provider of Catholic news and information. But as of now
only 12 parishioners are paid subscribers out of over 300 registered
families! The above parish-plan assessment is Archbishop Wuerl’s plan to
help fund this portion of the Archdiocese’s communications ministry.
Having more paying subscribers would help lower our parish assessment.
When YOU subscribe, that assessment amount is decreased by $18.50! Just
think of all the wonderful projects and programs we could use that savings
to support! Please consider becoming a Catholic Standard subscriber
(Regular $35; Seniors $25) and call our parish office for your
subscription as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!
2007 ARCHBISOP’S APPEAL TELEPHONE
FOLLOW-UP
Each year, the Archbishop’s Appeal conducts
a telephone follow-up to past donors that have not renewed in the current
year. Beginning on June 11, representatives of the Appeal will be
contacting past donors by telephone. If you receive a call, please
consider making a generous gift to this important campaign. Thank you
again to all of those who have made a pledge and are still making payments
as well as to those who have completed their gifts. Your funds are
critical to the Archdiocesan offices, ministries and services that receive
support from this campaign.
