June 23rd 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.

One Bread, One Body
This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday GOD BROKEN-HEARTED AGAIN
https://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=6/23/2019
"The Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread, and after He had given thanks, broke
it and said, 'This is My body, which is for you.' " -1 Corinthians 11:23-24
At the Last Supper, Jesus first gave us His Body and Blood on the night He was betrayed. This was a
harbinger of Masses to come. Jesus' greatest gift, the gift of His own Body and Blood, is often
rejected when we refuse to believe in the Eucharist or when we have attitudes of selfishness at Mass.
How heartbreaking to Jesus when He sees us trying to make the Mass fit conveniently into our lives
rather than radically transforming our lives to center them on our Eucharistic Lord!
Jesus is the most rejected, divorced, and abused Person Who has ever lived. Yet He keeps coming back
for more. He makes Himself so vulnerable when He faithfully and constantly changes bread and wine into
His Body and Blood. However, Jesus exposes His broken heart to further brokenness because He is God,
Who is Love (1 Jn 4:8, 16). Love loves unconditionally. Love loves even if hated and crucified in
return.
On this solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, decide to accept the grace to love our Eucharistic
Jesus. Offer your body as a living sacrifice (Rm 12:1) so that His Body and Blood will no longer be
disbelieved, ignored, and pushed even further into the margins of so many people's lives. Make
reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Prayer: Jesus, give me the grace to be willing to suffer anything so as to never reject You.
Promise: "Then, taking the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus raised His eyes to heaven, pronounced a
blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to His disciples for distribution to the crowd. They all
ate until they had enough." -Lk 9:16-17
Praise: Praise the risen Jesus, who shed His last drop of blood that we may be set free.

Notable quotations from Pope Francis and official teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
END HUNGER
"WE MUST DO BETTER"
We are all called to go further. We can and we must do better for the helpless. We must move to
concrete action, so that the scourge of hunger disappears completely.
WE CAN DO IT
We do indeed have the adequate means and framework so that beautiful words and good wishes may become
an action plan of substance that leads effectively to the eradication of hunger in our world. To this
end we need joint efforts, upright hearts, and persistent concern to firmly and resolutely make the
other's problems one's own.
"LACK OF POLITICAL WILL"
There is a fundamental lack of political will. What is needed is the willingness to end hunger, and
this ultimately will not happen without a moral conviction that is shared by all peoples and all
religious persuasions, where the integral good of the person is at the heart of all initiatives and
consists in "doing to another what we would want done to ourselves."
