June 3rd 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.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday RISKING BODY AND BLOOD
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/3/2018
"This is the blood of the covenant." -Exodus 24:8
The Last Supper was held in seclusion under the threat of persecution. To keep away those who might
disrupt the Last Supper, Jesus arranged for a divine combination of circumstances - a man carrying a
water jar was the unsuspecting guide to the home in which the Last Supper was to be eaten (Mk 14:13ff).
Throughout the history of the Church, there has been persecution facing those who worship Jesus in Holy
Mass. When persecuted in Rome, the early Church held Mass deep in the catacombs under the city. People
were martyred if caught at these Masses. Some Catholics in China walk thirty miles to receive the
Eucharist. If caught, they risk being put to death. In England during the persecution of Catholics,
priests were hidden inside the walls of houses. Masses were held in secret rooms. Many people who
attended were caught and brutally martyred.
In America and many other countries of the world, we are at present able to attend Mass and receive the
Eucharist freely, at least at the time of this writing. Attacks on religious freedom and the Catholic
Church may be a portent of persecution to come.
Jesus gave His life, that is, His Body and Blood, so that we could receive Him in the Eucharist. If you
knew you could be killed walking into the door of Church today, would you still risk your life to
receive His Body and Blood?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, this is my body, to be given up for You. Make me a missionary of the Eucharist so
as to lead as many as possible to eucharistic love and worship.
Promise: "...how much more will the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself up
unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God!" -Heb 9:14
Praise: "Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore! O, make us love Thee more and more."
Monday FREE TO FLEE

and to the day of eternity! Amen." -2 Peter 3:18

Pope Francis, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/pope/fst2018-05.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
CALLED TO HOLINESS
ASK THE SPIRIT
Always ask the Spirit what Jesus expects from you at every moment of your life and in every decision
you must make, so as to discern its place in the mission you have received. Allow the Spirit to forge
in you the personal mystery that can reflect Jesus Christ in today's world. (23)
DON'T BE AFRAID
Do not be afraid of holiness. It will take away none of your energy, vitality or joy. On the contrary,
you will become what the Father had in mind when He created you, and you will be faithful to your
deepest self. To depend on God sets us free from every form of enslavement and leads us to recognize
our great dignity. (32)
AIM HIGH
Do not be afraid to set your sights higher, to allow yourself to be loved and liberated by God. Do not
be afraid to let yourself be guided by the Holy Spirit. Holiness does not make you less human, since
it is an encounter between your weakness and the power of God's grace. For in the words of Leon Bloy,
when all is said and done, "the only great tragedy in life, is not to become a saint." (34)
