PADRE PIO PRAYER GROUP MEETING

There will be a Padre Pio Prayer Group

Meeting in St. Mary’s Library on Saturday, June 2 at 10:00AM and

ALL ARE INVITED AND WELCOME!

OUR LADY OF FATIMA

The Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Fatima is

available for home visitations. The Legion of

Mary will be pleased to bring this blessed statue

to your home and leave it with you for a visit. To

arrange a visit, call Ann Wells at 860-664-0595 or

Marcia Bischoff at 860-669-4454.

O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament have left us a memorial of your Passion, grant us, we pray, so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may always experience in ourselves the fruits of your redemption. Who live and reign with God the Father

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, in God, for ever and ever.

THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

(Corpus Christi)

On this Solemnity of Corpus Domini, the idea of memory comes up again and again.

Moses says to the people: “You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you…. Lest… you forget the Lord your God, who fed you in the wilderness with manna” (Dt 8:2, 14, 16).

Jesus will tell us: “Do this in memory of me” (1 Cor 11:24). Saint Paul will tell his disciple:

“Remember Jesus Christ” (2 Tim 2:8). The “living bread, come down from heaven” (Jn 6:51) is the sacrament of memory, reminding us, in a real and tangible way, of the story of God’s love for us.

Today’s Solemnity reminds us that in our fragmented lives, the Lord comes to meet us with a loving

“fragility”, which is the Eucharist. In the Bread of Life, the Lord comes to us, making himself a humble

meal that lovingly heals our memory, wounded by life’s frantic pace of life. The Eucharist is the memorial

of God’s love. There, “[Christ’s] sufferings are remembered” (II Vespers, antiphon for the Magnificat) and

we recall God’s love for us, which gives us strength and support on our journey.

This is why the Eucharistic commemoration does us so much good: it is not an abstract, cold and superficial

memory, but a living remembrance that comforts us with God’s love. A memory that is both recollection

and imitation. The Eucharist is flavoured with Jesus’ words and deeds, the taste of his Passion,

the fragrance of his Spirit.

When we receive it, our hearts are overcome with the certainty of Jesus’ love.

… HIS HOLINESS, POPE FRANCIS
