 CORPUS CHRISTI
Melchizedek brought out bread and wine. (Genesis 14)
As often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you
proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Corintians 11)
All ate and were filled. (Luke 9)
A sacrament, St. Augustine
said, is the visible sign of
God’s invisible grace. The
gifts we give to one another
are sacramental when they
manifest the love and mercy
of God; they are Eucharistic
when they transform us into a
community bound by that
love.
In our sharing of the body
of Christ, we are called
to become the body of Christ
for one another: to make the limitless, complete love of
Christ reality for all.
Christ calls us to be both guests and waiters at his
table. We come here with our struggles and doubts and
pains and sorrows to be fed and nourished; at the same
time, the Eucharist should impel us to become Eucharist
for others – to make the limitless, complete love of
Christ real for all in our own acts of charity and
kindness.
POPE FRANCIS’ JUNE INTENTIONS

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
JUNE 24TH
Catholics worldwide are urged to pray for Priests today
on the World Day of Prayer for Priests. The day was
begun by Saint John Paul II in 2002 with the objective
of having all Catholic faithful join in prayer for the
sanctification of Priests. The World Day of Prayer for
Priests coincides with the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Prayer for Fathers
God our Father,
in your wisdom and love you made
all things.
Bless those fathers, and those who
have been like a father in our lives,
who have taken upon themselves
the responsibility of parenting.
Bless those who have lost a spouse to death ...
or divorce
who are parenting their children alone.
Strengthen them by your love that they may
become the loving, caring persons they are
meant to be.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen!

Building a Synodal Church,
Welcome
ONLINE SYNOD COURSE
Catholics across the globe are invited to take part in a
Massive Open Online Course or MOOC on the topic
of “Common Discernment and Decision Making
in the Church.”
The initiative comes as part of the Synod on
synodality and is organized by Boston College's School
of Theology. The presenters are international renowned
and often part of the Vatican's Synod on Synodality
Preparation and Advisory team.
The online course is free and open to anyone
interested. It begins in July as a three-week course
which hopes to offer formation in “theology and
practice of synodality” to over 100,000 people. You can
be one of those 100,000!
Those interested can register at the link. :
https://formaciononline.bc.edu/es/register-home/
For anyone in our own diocese who signs up, I will be
offering ZOOM Coffee Chats to allow us to come
together virtually and share what we are learning about
discernment, decision making, and how this may
influence the synodal pathway here in our local
Church.
Please email me if you do sign up and I will send you
more information about the planned July Coffee Chats.
You can email me at familyandyouth@saintcd.com
