This Sunday, oh! Jesus, Your church celebrates the feast of Your Body and Blood.
Thank You Jesus, for giving us Your Body and Blood as the food of life.
You gave us eternal life by Your death, and have given us this food to sustain us to help us
get to eternal life.
We are so privledged to be able to eat Your Body, and drink Your Blood, and have Your life
within us.
Jesus, give us the grace to adore You in the tabernacle, and see the miracle of the food of
life.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

Sunday PAID IN COVENANT-BLOOD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=6/10/2012
"This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you." -Exodus 24:8
God made a graphic covenant with Abram. He had Abram split several animals in half and place
each half on the ground with a walkway between them. In the form of a blazing fire, God
passed between the split animals (Gn 15:17) to seal the covenant. By this act, God solemnly
verified His covenant promises to Abraham, in effect saying: "If I am not faithful to this
covenant agreement we have made, then let Me be split in half like these animals and let My
blood likewise be poured out." God pledges His covenant with His blood.
Jesus has made a new covenant, also pledged with His blood. Instead of animals being split
open, Jesus Himself was sacrificed (Is 53:7) and His blood poured out to solemnly verify the
covenant (Jn 19:34). Jesus made this painful pledge to pour out His "blood of the covenant"
(Mk 14:24) before we ever agreed to even have a part in it (see Rm 5:8). Through our sins,
we poured out His blood (Catechism, 598). He was faithful to the covenant, we were not; yet
His blood was spilled instead of ours. Jesus offered "His own blood" (Heb 9:12) to obtain
eternal redemption for us. We get all the benefits; He gets all the pain and suffering.
How shall we ever repay Jesus? The return He greatly desires (Lk 22:15) is for us to take up
the cup of salvation, the cup of his Blood, the Eucharist (Ps 116:12-13). He doesn't ask us
to walk between bloody animals; instead He asks us to walk between the pews - up to the
altar to receive His precious Body and Blood.
Prayer: Father, may Jesus' blood cover us always (Mt 27:25).
Promise: "How much more will the blood of Christ...cleanse our consciences from dead works
to worship the living God!" -Heb 9:14
Praise: "O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be
every moment Thine."

"Then, after they had fasted and prayed, they imposed hands on them and sent them off."
-Acts 13:3

What Happens When You Fall in Love
"All of us, gazing on the Lord's glory with unveiled faces, are being transformed from
glory to glory into His very image by the Lord Who is the Spirit." -2 Corinthians 3:18
Jesus promised to be with us always even to the end of the world (Mt 28:20). At the Last
Supper, He said: "This is My body," "This is My blood" (Mk 14:22, 24), and "Do this as a
remembrance of Me" (Lk 22:19). After receiving the Holy Spirit, the early Church began to
realize what Jesus ................
