June 2nd Body and Blood of Christ
Jesus, praise and glorify You always.
You gave us a gift beyond compare, You gave us Your Body
and Blood so that we may have the real food of eternal life.
You told us that You would be with us always and so You are
in the beautiful sacrament of the Eucharist.
You ask us to receive You in as purified a condition as we can
be, so that we can share in You in an intimate way, that causes
us to have You, God, inside us.
Jesus open our hearts that we may truly see You in the breaking
of the bread, and come and adore You with contrite hearts.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday "A LIVING SACRIFICE" (Rm 12:1)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/2/2013
"This is My body, which is for you." -1 Corinthians 11:24
The Mass makes present the once-and-for-all sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Therefore, to enter
into the spirit of the Mass, we must "proclaim the death of the Lord" (1 Cor 11:26) and offer our
bodies to the Lord as living sacrifices (Rm 12:1). The spirit of the Mass is the spirit of
sacrifice. Thus it is important to fast before Mass, deny ourselves, and take up our crosses each
day (Lk 9:23) with the intention of uniting ourselves to Jesus crucified (see Gal 2:19) and
sacrificed (see Heb 9:26). Through our "good deeds and generosity" (Heb 13:16), we make
sacrifices pleasing to the Lord. We can unite these sacrifices with Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary
and fill up in our own bodies what is lacking in the "sufferings of Christ" (Col 1:24).
The Mass is not the proclamation and perpetuation of our sacrifices but rather of His sacrifice.
However, the Mass is the participation of our sacrifices in His. Live the Mass. Live a life of
sacrifice. Through Jesus, "let us continually offer God a sacrifice of praise" (Heb 13:15).
Prayer: Father, do a miracle of multiplication in today's Mass (see Lk 9:16ff).
Promise: "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, in
remembrance of Me." -1 Cor 11:25
Praise: Praise You, risen Jesus. Your Body and Blood bring us eternal life. All praise and honor
be to You!

"On our festival of Pentecost, the feast of Weeks, a fine dinner was prepared for me, and I
reclined to eat." -Tobit 2:1

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

PM Internet Prayer Requests
http://www.presentationministries.com/prayer/prayer.asp
One pair of hands healed the cripple, gave hearing to the deaf, gave sight to the blind,
casted out demons, raised the dead, Instituted Eucharist ( so we would have the physical
presence of God), and were then pierced and nailed to a Cross, to save our souls. Jesus's
hands were opened in generosity, because His heart was opened to us, out of His great love,
for us. God made Himself a "Gift" to us. Now what are we going to do with this "Gift". So,
now ask the Holy Spirit, how to move forward with this knowledge of God, by becoming a "gift"
for God, through sainthood.,,,,Do we believe at the core of our being, Jesus is The Lord and
He is leading us,,,,

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
GOD'S MERCY
"GOD ALWAYS WAITS FOR US"
Let us remember this in our lives as Christians: God always waits for us, even when we have
left Him behind! He is never far from us, and if we return to Him, He is ready to embrace us.
COURAGE TO RETURN TO GOD
...God's patience has to call forth in us the courage to return to Him, however many mistakes
and sins there may be in our lives.
"BOUNDLESS LOVE"
It is ... in the wounds of Jesus, that we are truly secure; there we encounter the boundless
love of His heart.
