O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament have le us a memo-rial of your Passion, grant us, we pray, so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may always expe-rience in ourselves the fruits of your redemp on. Amen.

The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ

Oh Dios, que nos has dejado un me-morial de tu pasión en este maravi-lloso sacramento, concédenos, te rogamos, que para venerar los sa-grados misterios de tu Cuerpo y de tu Sangre, siempre podamos experi-mentar en nosotros mismos los fru-tos de tu redención. Amén.

BROKEN AND POURED OUT

It is a fundamental truth of our faith that God is the provider of everything. God has promised to feed

us, body, mind, and spirit, from our first breath to our last. At every Mass, every day, throughout the world, at the breaking of bread and pouring of wine, we remember Jesus’ last Passover meal with his friends, and we believe that the Lord is truly present to us now. With our human eyes we see only the bread and wine, but it is the Lord him-self, broken and poured out for us, whom we receive. Today’s solemnity is an opportunity to think long and hard about this amazing love that God has for us. It is the absolute opposite of greed, which says, “I’m going to grab hold of everything I can and keep it for myself,” and also of its close rela on, s ngi-ness: “I’ll give only what I have to, and not one bit more.” Greed and s nginess both come from fear, a fear that life will somehow fall apart and we will lose everything we have. Many prophets, saints, and teachers, and above all, Jesus himself have shown us that fear is essen ally a lack of trust in God. Anyone who has lived through a devasta ng hurricane, earthquake, or flood knows that what they “own” can be taken away in a heartbeat. People who go through such an experience show remarkable resilience and courage, and a will to rebuild their lives. They should remind us that we, who are loved by God the Father, fed by God the Son, and strengthened by God the Holy Spirit, have everything we need. We have only to open our hearts, receive these gi s, and tru-ly believe for our lives to be transformed. Copyright © World Library Publica ons. All rights reserved.

CUERPO ENTREGADO, SANGRE DERRAMADA

Una verdad fundamental de nuestra fe es que Dios es dador de todo. Dios ha prome do ali-mentarnos de cuerpo, alma y espíritu, desde nuestro primer aliento de vida hasta el úl mo. Todos los días, alrededor del mundo, cuando se parte el pan y se echa el vino en cada Misa, re-cordamos la úl ma cena de Jesús con sus amigos y creemos que el Señor se hace ahora verdadera-mente presente entre nosotros. Sólo vemos pan y vino con nuestros ojos humanos, pero a quien recibimos es al mismo Señor, que entrega su cuerpo y derrama su sangre. La solemnidad de hoy nos ofrece la oportunidad de pensar profun-da e intensamente en este asombroso amor que Dios nos ene. Un amor que es el opuesto absol-uto de la avaricia, pues ésta piensa: “Voy a apoderarme de todo lo que pueda y a quedarme con todo”. También la mezquindad está ín-

mamente relacionada con la avaricia, pues es la que nos hace pensar: “Doy sólo lo mínimo posi-ble y ni un cén mo más”. Tanto la avaricia como la mezquindad brotan del miedo, miedo a que la vida se nos haga pedazos y perdamos todo lo que tenemos. Muchos profetas, santos y maestros —hombres y mujeres—, pero sobre todo Jesús, nos han enseñado que el miedo es esencialmente una falta de confianza en Dios. Cualquiera que haya pasado por la experiencia de un huracán, un terremoto o una inundación de secuelas dev-astadoras sabe que se les puede arrancar lo que “poseen” en un san amén. Las personas que han vivido tales experiencias de-muestran una gran capacidad y valen a para recupe-rarse y rehacer su vida. Esto bien pudiera recordanos que tene-mos todo lo que necesitamos en el amor de Dios Padre, en el alimento eucarís co de Dios Hijo y en la fortaleza de Dios Espíritu Santo. Sólo tene-mos que abrir el corazón, recibir estos dones y verda-deramente creer que nuestra vida será transformada. Copyright ©World Library Publica ons. All rights reserved.

Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith will deepen and grow—a day at a time.

SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2016 SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI)

The power of a single voice The feast of Corpus Christi is popular and moving because it is simple and direct—it’s all about the Eucharist, one of the greatest treasures of Catholicism. Yet the feast would not exist were it not for the efforts of Juliana of Liège, a Norbertine canoness born in 1191 in Liège, Belgium, a city where there were groups of women dedicated to eucharistic worship. She had a vision of a full moon with one dark spot signifying the lack of a feast day solely dedicated to the Eucharist. She shared her vision and eventually vision became reality. What gift can you envision giving to your community?

On this Memorial Day, as you remember those who gave their lives serv-ing their country, also keep in your heart those who have lost loved ones, those struggling with physical and emotional wounds, and all other vic-tims of war. Pray and work for the reconciliation of divided peoples and for peace in your community and around the world. The U.S. bishops urge all to pray on this day: “Banish violence from our midst and wipe away our tears, that we may all deserve to be called your sons and daughters.”

A friend comes to visit. Just the thought can redeem the darkest day! Whether we’re confined by illness, grieving a loss, in need of practical assistance, or just pleasantly surprised by a familiar face at the door, the time of visitation is a bright hour of consolation. The encounter between Mary and Elizabeth was more than the welcome arrival of help for an aged mother’s third trimester. God’s saving power intersected these two lives and gave them to each other, to share the joy. Bring good news to someone today.

Christian theology owes a debt to the pre-Christian phi-losophies of Plato and Aristotle. Early church theologian Justin was able to see connections between the great philosophers of Greek antiquity and the wisdom revealed by Jesus. The prologue of John’s Gospel speaks of Jesus

As “Logos,” the preexisting Word. Justin believed that the “seeds of Chris-tianity” found in thinkers such as Plato or Aristotle were evidence of the Logos acting in history before Christ’s incarnation. Whether or not Plato and Aristotle were “unknowing Christians,” we are knowing Christians. Spend some time with the Word today.

We don’t know a lot about Marcellinus and Peter, martyred in 304, but we know Peter was an exorcist, an often misunderstood or over-dramatized office of church ministry. The rite itself was revised in 1999 for the first time since 1614, and modern practice counsels priests empowered to perform an exorcism to first make sure they are dealing with genuine possession rather than mental illness. The Code of Canon Law states that the bishop is to give permission to perform the rite to a priest “who has piety, knowledge, prudence, and integrity of life.” We rely on Jesus to protect us from the power of evil, and the church stands by our side should we need assistance in doing so.

To do something “without heart” means to live without passion or pur-pose. “In the Heart of Christ,” Saint John Paul II wrote, a person’s heart “learns to know the genuine and unique meaning” of life and destiny: “to unite the filial love for God and the love of neighbor.” The Sacred Heart reminds us that Jesus had a heart just like ours; that his acts of love aren’t beyond us, but are already in us, in every loving gesture, relation-ship, and experience. This is the heart of what gives us life—a heart whose love never stops beating in us.

“In a unique way the face of the Son belongs to Mary,” Saint John Paul II wrote in Rosarium Virginis Mariae (“The Rosary of the Virgin Mary”). Jesus was the child she gazed upon in the manger, the one she pondered in her heart throughout her life. Her heart was filled with a love for him that embraced the pain of the Passion and the joy of the Resurrection. Such love, held in her Immaculate Heart, is an example to us all of a love that gives life, that’s meant to be cherished, adored, and that ultimately longs to lead us back to her Son over and over again.
