FROM PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners,
Sacrifice in the Old Testament often consisted of animals placed on makeshift altars as a burnt offering to
God. In the first reading, Moses sprinkles the blood of the covenant on God’s chosen people. Jesus uses the
same exact term to refer to the cup that he shared with his disciples, in today’s Gospel.
This verbal connection in Scripture is a sign of the fulfillment of the messianic prophecy.
When Jesus offered himself as body and blood, he honored the old covenant under Moses while
becoming the mediator of a new covenant. By this blood, he has obtained for us eternal redemption, and
has [cleansed] our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.
Jesus’ presence in body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Eucharist is also a promise – that he will be with
us until the end of days. He wishes to r emain with us and in us, helping us to seek him, to see him, and
serve him by how we love, honor, serve, and forgive one another.
The feast we celebrate today, known as Corpus Christi or the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood
of Christ, was established by Pope Ur ban IV in the year 1264. He did so in r esponse to a r epor ted
Eucharistic miracle in the Italian village of Orvieto. As legend has it, the Eucharistic host bled when being
offered in the hands of a doubting priest, Father Peter of Prague.
This was, in essence, a manifestation of a miraculous presence in the hands of one who doubted the Real
Presence.
This is a doubt that is all too common today, as well. Many Catholics have not been catechized well with
regard to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, and those outside of the Catholic Church believe it to be
only Christ’s symbolic presence, or at least that he is not substantially present. In proclaiming the Year of the
Eucharist in 2004, Saint John Paul II said: “The Holy Eucharist contains the entire spiritual treasure of the
Church, Christ Himself.” He went on to encourage every Catholic to “rekindle this Eucharistic
amazement” (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, par. 6).
We can only hope and pray that the true presence of Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the altar
will strengthen the faith of believers, remove doubts from the minds of skeptics, and serve as a reminder
to all of us that the Eucharist is a miracle. Every Eucharist is a miracle. When we share in the miracle of
the Eucharist, we share in Jesus' miraculous love for us and for all sinners.
Fr. Tad

FEAST OF FAITH
The Corpus Christi Procession
In the thirteenth century, a Belgian nun by the
name of Juliana had a vision: she saw the full moon
silvery and radiant except for one dark spot. The
meaning of the vision was revealed to her: the moon
was the Church’s liturgical year, the dark spot a
missing feast in honor of the Blessed Sacrament.
Today’s feast of Corpus Christi—the Most Holy
Body and Blood of Christ—grew from Juliana’s
vision.
On this feast, many parishes observe the
traditional Corpus Christi procession, giving honor to
the Eucharist by carrying this greatest treasure out of
the safety of our churches and into our streets. At the
end of every Mass we are not just let out, we are sent
forth, strengthened by the Eucharist, to be the Body
of Christ in the world. The Corpus Christi procession
is the dismissal writ large! We take Jesus with us, not
only in our hearts, but carried in our midst and
exposed in a monstrance. It is a public profession of
faith and a blessing of the world. Jesus walks with us
on these streets that we walk day after day, among
those who know him but yearn to know him better,
and among those who do not know him. The
Eucharist is a mystery to be believed, to be
celebrated—and to be lived.

SACRIFICE
Today the Church focuses on the Eucharist. Today’s readings remind us how connected to ancient blood sacrifices
we are when offering our unbloody sacrifice. The reading from Exodus describes a solemn ritual designed so the
Israelites would never forget their covenant with God.
The reading from the Letter to the Hebrews turns us from those ancient animal sacrifices, the first efforts to worship
the living God. Our sacrifice is the body and blood of the Son of God. Because of Christ we have a new covenant.
The Gospel from Mark retells the establishment of that covenant, the familiar story of the Last Supper. Juxtaposed
with the story of animal sacrifice as it is here, we are challenged to listen with new attention, to remember the great price
paid for our salvation. Jesus gave his body and every drop of his blood for us.

YOUTH MINISTRY Registration for Religious Education, NOVA, & OASIS Registration will be opening soon for the school year 2021-2022 for all students K-12th grade! Stay tuned for more details as we determine more closely what our Faith Formation / Youth Ministry year will look like this Fall! Heaven and Hell We often have the perception that getting to heaven or going to hell is based on a formula. If I am good, God lets me into heaven. If I am bad, God sends me to hell. If we use this formula, we would always deserve hell. In Genesis, Adam and Eve make a decision with a clear consequence. In choosing sin, man sentences himself. Contrary to our misconception, it is not about what we deserve, but about how closely we are conformed to Christ. Heaven and hell hinge on a relationship, not a formula. God created us to be in a loving relationship with Him, which necessitates free will. We make choices, and every choice is one to love God or not. At the moment of death, our decision to cooperate with grace, or not, becomes a permanent choice with eternal consequences. The Church teaches that yes hell exists, but it is not contrary to our image of a loving God. God unceasingly offers us grace to live according to His will. God doesn't send us to hell - we choose our sin over Him, and He respects our choice. Once in hell, a person permanently excludes himself or herself from communion with God and those who love Him. While we rarely acknowledge the existence of hell, we also fail to reflect on the glory of heaven. We hear the words "eternal rest" or "eternal worship" and have difficulty imagining what that actually looks like. Though we have many images of heaven, and although they may represent part of what heaven is, they fall short - they may even dilute the beautiful reality of heaven. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, heaven is "the ultimate end and fulfillment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme definitive happiness." Most of the time, we aren't even aware of our deepest longings, and happiness seems so fleeting. We always long for more - more affirmation, more love, more purpose. The greatest reality of heaven is God's complete presence and our total union with Him. Not only will we not have to suffer, be embarrassed, or experience loss, we will desire nothing because God will be enough for us. At the end of the day, we can't earn heaven. God gives us the ability to enter into eternal life through Jesus' Passion, death, and Resurrection. We enter into and can partake of that new life through the grace of Baptism. Unlike Adam and Eve, God changes up the equation: sinful humanity plus grace equals the ability to be before Him. Grace is a gift that we have to unwrap and use. It requires effort on our part. It requires a choice to be in relationship with Christ. Our choices lead us closer to the joy of heaven or further from it. Even more so, the choices we make bring aspects of heaven or hell into our lives now. What reality will you choose to live? OASIS & NOVA Stay tuned for summer ministry events!! We are in the midst of planning our summer calendar and as more restrictions lift, there will be opportunities for in person events such as water games, mini golf, retreats, discipleship groups, and more! Registration will be opening soon for the 2021-2022 school year! OASIS is for our teens 9th - 12th grade. NOVA is for our teens 6th - 8th grade.
