A Light heart lives long. (Irish Proverb)
Eucharist
He fed them with the finest wheat and satisfied them with honey from the rock.
This weekend we celebrate the body and blood of Jesus in the Eucharist. It is a
wonderful occasion to reflect on the Mass and to get a deeper understanding
of what we are celebrating. The Mass reminds us of the importance of repentance,
listening to the word of God, receiving Communion and giving thanks to God in
prayer. All of this and more are part of the Mass we celebrate in our Church. This
weekend let us listen, ponder and pray at our Mass.
Trees often transplanted, seldom prosper. (Dutch Proverb)

The noisiest drum has nothing in it but air. (English Proverb)
This is my Body, My Blood
Jesus first repeated what he said, then summarized: "‘I am the living bread
which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread; he will live
forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.’
The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us
his flesh to eat?’" (John 6:51–52). His listeners were stupefied because now
they understood Jesus literally—and correctly. He again repeated his words,
but with even greater emphasis, and introduced the statement about drinking
his blood: "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks
my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my
flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" (John 6:53–56).
