At the dawn of salvation history, God revealed our future in

figures. That's what's going on in today's First Reading: A king

and high priest comes from Jerusalem (see Psalm 76:3), offering

bread and wine to celebrate the victory of God's beloved servant, Abram,

over his foes. By his offering, Melchizedek bestows God's blessings on

Abram. He is showing us, too, how one day we will receive God's blessings

and in turn "bless God"—how we will give thanks to Him for delivering us

from our enemies, sin and death.

As Paul recalls in today's Epistle, Jesus transformed the sign of bread and

wine, making it a sign of His body and blood, through which God bestows

upon us the blessings of His "new covenant." Jesus is "the priest forever

according to the order of Melchizedek," that God, in today's Psalm, swears

will rule from Zion, the new Jerusalem (see Hebrews 6:20-7:3).

By the miracle of loaves and fishes, Jesus in today's Gospel, again prefigures

the blessings of the Eucharist. Notice that He takes the bread, blesses it,

breaks it, and gives it to the Twelve. You find the precise order and words in

the Last Supper (see Luke 22:19) and in His celebration of the Eucharist on

the first Easter night (see Luke 24:30).

The Eucharist fulfills the offering of Melchizedek. It is the daily miracle of

the heavenly high priesthood of Jesus. It is a priesthood He conferred upon

the Apostles in ordering them to feed the crowd, in filling exactly twelve

baskets with leftover bread—in commanding them on the night He was

handed over: "Do this in remembrance of Me."

Through His priests He still feeds us in "the deserted place" of our earthly

exile. And by this sign He pledges to us a glory yet to come. For as often as

we share in His body and blood. we proclaim His victory over death, until He

comes again to make His victory our own.

Dear fellow parishioners:

We are in need of volunteers to help with the Sacristan duties. Sacristans are responsible for setting up the liturgical elements; these include vessels used for Eucharist, altar linens, candles, to name a few. The Sacristan arrives at least 45 minutes before the Mass begins. Sacristans are mostly needed for the Saturday Mass at 5:30 pm and/or the Sunday Mass at 4:30 pm. Training will be provided. If you are interested and are willing to make a commitment to serve as a Sacristan, or if you have any questions, please contact the parish office at 916 371-4814. Your help is greatly

THANK YOU FROM BISHOP GALLEGOS MATERNITY HOME

Thank you for your very generous donation of $2,361.16 to the Bishop

Gallegos Maternity Home (BGMH), from the Lenten Baby Bottle Program.

Your generosity is a great blessing to the Ministry of the Maternity Home and

your gift will be used for the benefit of poor women in an unplanned

pregnancy who are in need of shelter and care before the birth of their baby

and for a cushion of time afterwards to ensure their safe return to the

community. BGMH provides a safe and healthy home for 12 women and

their babies in Sacramento. Thank You and God Bless.

Please pray for our "2016" 8th Grade Graduates and

all the graduates of "2016".
