Reflection - Week of June 7

Question of the Week:


When I receive the Eucharist, I receive Jesus within me. How does knowing that Jesus is in me affect the way I act in the world?
















     Saint Paul tells the Corinthians that they receive more than sustenance and nourishment when they receive the Eucharist. They also participate in the offer-ing of the Body and Blood of Christ to begin with. This puts us into communion with God and with each other. It also brings us into unity as the single body of Christ, which is the Church.

     Physical hunger is a simple fact of life. Whether we have plenty or live on a limited budget or suffer from malnutrition, we experience the pangs of hunger whenever we have not eaten for a while. Spiritual hunger is a fact of life as well. Our spirits need sustenance and nourishment as much as our bodies do. We need friendship, we need intimacy, we need peace of mind, we need love. Jesus satisfies this hunger and explains it in physical terms. The “true food” he provides is his very self, which gifts us an intimacy beyond any other gift, a communion of love with Christ in the Eucharist.

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation

"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."

-Bishop Larry Silva
