From the desk of Fr. Jarvis
Dear Parish Family,
We all need to eat. And in our current culture, food is, in many ways, the center of our lives, whether
we eat to live or live to eat. Food will determine our health and is a huge factor in our quality of life.
Whether we enjoy food to excess or find the most healthy ways to foster healthy living, eating is some-
thing which occupies a lot of our thoughts and much of our time. This is right, because we need to sus-
tain our energy in order to continue this journey of life. This idea of a journey was held strong among
the ancient Greeks in their custom of giving a supper to those setting out on a journey. They provided
the things necessary for such a journey: Food, money, clothes, utensils and expense. This was called
ephodion. The Latin equivalent is viaticus, “of or pertaining to a road or journey.” Therefore, viaticum
became the word used by many as a metaphor meaning provision for the journey on the road of life. This is why the Church
adopted this term for the last reception of Holy Communion by a member of the faithful before death. It refers to the food they
need to make the passage from this life to the next. This is the food that sustains us so that we can enter into a place where we
will never hunger and never thirst. Jesus tells the people in the Gospel today, “Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who
gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down
from heaven and gives life to the world” (John 6). The people then said to Jesus, “Sir, give us this bread always.” And Jesus pro-
nounced to them the great truth of who He is, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever be-
lieves in me will never thirst.”
Are we asking the question that the people in the Gospel asked? Do we ask our Lord to give us this bread—always? How do we
approach the altar of the Bread of Life? Do we give it as much thought and time as we do to our everyday food? This Bread of
Life is necessary for us to have life within as Jesus will tell us in the weeks to come. How do we prepare? With hearts made pure
through the Sacrament of Mercy in confession? Do we then open our hearts to the union and friendship that our Lord longs to
have with us? Are we willfully distracted as we listen to the readings of the word of God so that we then can approach the Holy
of Holies with hearts made pure as we are fed with the life giving bread from heaven? My answer to these questions is often a
lack of time. I make a regular confession but I often am distracted as the Holy Spirit knocks at the door of my heart in order to
invite me to open up to the Heart of Christ truly present in the Eucharist. But, with His help, and a simple ‘yes’, miracles can be
seen. Grace allows for eyes to see and ears to hear. When we commit to making the effort to think often of the mysteries of the
faith, when our day is saturated with the written word of God, when our heart is open to the Lord Jesus who is truly present in
the Blessed Sacrament, we can then begin to enter into what St. Paul speaks of in the Second reading by putting away “the old
self of [our] former way of life, corrupted through deceitful desires, and be renewed in the spirit of [our] minds, and put on the
new self, created in God’s way in righteousness and holiness of truth” (Ephesians 4: 23-24). This is the purification from worldly
things to the things of above. We need the gifts of God for this purification to come about and we need sustenance for the ener-
gy to persevere. This sustenance is viaticum. Not in the liturgical sense of Holy Communion at the time of death (although that
is so important) but rather, viaticum in the sense of food for the journey from this world to the next world, which raises our eyes
from this present life to the next. It is the lifting of our hearts to the mystery of life in Christ. And He offers the things necessary
for this journey: Family, Friendship, Mercy, Faith, Hope and Love which is the summit of all, His very Self in the Blessed Sacra-
ment. What a gift we have in this truth, Jesus gives us Himself, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the little Host. This is a reality to
live by because this is the food that will give a quality of life which is unmatched. May we keep our heart open to Him who is the
Bread from Heaven.
Viva Cristo Rey!

Next weekend, August 7/8, Dr. Kieran McNulty will briefly speak before each Mass. Dr. McNulty is an anthropologist who works in Kenya, and, with his siblings, has named a small school there to honor his parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary five years ago. The Kathy and Mike McNulty Academy educates the poor children on Rusinga Island who can-not afford even the meager fee required there for a public education. Families have been devastated by the HIV virus, so all of the children served at the school have lost at least one parent. Many are being raised by siblings! What began for 38 children, now serves 140! The Ministry of Education has issued a new requirement that provides a challenge: all early elementary schools must have a fourth grade (currently KMMA has grades pre-school through third). We ask for your prayers as we continue to work to provide school-ing, sanitation, and health services for these children. There will be a basket for dona-tions outside the back of the sanctuary. Our family will be there to answer any questions or to give you any literature you would like to peruse.

It is estimated that over 2.4 million children are alive to-
day because of a federal policy called the Hyde Amend-
ment, which for 45 years has protected taxpayers from
funding elective abortions. Sadly, this amendment is now
In great danger of being repealed; your help is urgently
needed!
Pleases sign the petition today to call for the Hyde
Amendment’s passage. Together, we can send a unified
message to Congress that every person has dignity and
the right to life, and we strongly oppose use of taxpayer
dollars for funding abortion.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
Christ the King is excited to announce our new Prayer Shawl Ministry!!!
This is a very powerful ministry for the maker of a prayer shawl and equally powerful for the recipient of a prayer. shawl. Just a beginner level is needed.
We also would be ever so grateful for any "free will" offerings to this new ministry. If you are able to help with a free will gift, just note that in your "memo" line on your cheek.
That would so helpful to us. Then we can purchase and resupply materials needed in the making of these beautiful prayer shawls. A prayer shawl can be crocheted, knitted, quilted, made with polar fleece....
