The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Chris)
CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED Continued from Page 2 Because we believe that the saints and blesseds are both models of faith and intercessors, Chrisans have looked to certain holy people as role models and heavenly protectors for occupaons, spiritual charisms, and even places. Although the Church somemes names a person as a patron saint (e.g. Saint Philip Neri as the patron of Rome, Saint Clare of Assisi as ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH the patroness of television, or Saint Aloysius Gonzaga as the patron of youth and young Gretna, Nebraska adults), more o en it is popular devoon that inspires lay Chrisans to turn to a parcular saint or blessed for heavenly help and support. This is how, for example, Saint Cecilia came READINGS THIS WEEK to be honored as the patroness of musicians, Saint Toribio Romo as patron of migrants coming into the United States, and Saint Gertrude of Nivelles as patroness of cat lovers. MONDAY: 2 Cor 1:1R7/Ps 34:2R3, 4R5, 6R7, 8R9 [9]/ Although there are official and unofficial lists of patron saints, we should always feel free to Mt 5:1R12
ask any and all the saints to give us their patronage and protecon in whatever it is that we TUESDAY: 2 Cor 1:18R22/Ps 119:129, 130, 131, need.

Poet, teacher, orator, and defender of the faith, Ephrem is the only Syriac Chrisan recognized as a doctor of the Church. He FRIDAY: Hos 11:1, 3R4, 8cR9/Is 12:2R3, 4, 5R6 [3]/ took upon himself the special task of opposing the many false Eph 3:8R12, 14R19/Jn 19:31R37

NEXT SUNDAY: Ez 17:22R24/Ps 92:2R3, 13R14, 15R Born in Nisibis, Mesopotamia, he was bapzed as a young man 16 [cf. 2a]/2 Cor 5:6R10/Mk 4:26R34
and became famous as a teacher in his nave city. When the Chrisan emperor had to cede Nisibis to the Persians, Ephrem fled as a refugee to Edessa, along with many other Chrisans. He is credited with aracng great glory to the biblical school there. He was ordained a deacon but declined becoming a priest. Ephrem was said to have avoided presbyteral consecraon by feigning madness!

He had a prolific pen, and his wrings best illumine his holiness. Although he was not a man of great scholarship, his works reflect deep insight and knowledge of the Scriptures. In wring about the mysteries of humanity’s redempon, Ephrem reveals a realisc and humanly sympathec spirit and a great devoon to the humanity of Jesus. It is said that his poec account of the Last Judgment inspired Dante.

It is surprising to read that he wrote hymns against the herecs of his day. He would take the popular songs of the herecal groups and using their melodies, compose beauful hymns embodying orthodox doctrine. Ephrem became one of the first to introduce song into the Church’s public worship as a means of instrucon for the faithful. His many hymns have earned him the tle “Harp of the Holy Spirit.” Ephrem preferred a simple, austere life, living in a small cave overlooking the city of Edessa. It was here that he died around 373.

Many Catholics sll find singing in church a problem, probably because of the rather individualisc piety that they inherited. Yet singing has been a tradion of both the Old and OBSERVANCES THIS WEEK the New Testaments. It is an excellent way of expressing and creang a community spirit of unity as well as of joy. An ancient historian tesfies that Ephrem’s hymns “lent luster to the Chrisan assemblies.” We need some modern EphremsVand cooperang singersVto do WEDNESDAY: St. Ephrem, Deacon and Doctor of the same for our Chrisan assemblies today.

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Chris)

SEEING THE BODY OF CHRIST

St. Teresa of Calcua
shares
a story
that talks about seeing Jesus in the Eucharist and seeing Jesus in the poor people in the streets of Calcua:

ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH “Our sisters had to go to the home of the dying. And Gretna, Nebraska before they went, I said to them: “See, you are going there, during Mass V we always have Mass and Holy CRHP CORNER Communion before we go V and I said, “You saw during Holy Mass with what tenderness, with what Prayer for Our Mothers love, father was touching the Body of Christ. Make sure it is the same body in the poor that you will be AllRloving God, we touching. Give that same love, that same tenderness.” give you thanks They went off. A er three hours, they returned, and and praise for one of them came up to my room and said, “Mother, mothers young I’ve been touching the body of Christ for three hours!” Her face was shining with joy. and old. We pray “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, just as we arrived, they brought a man covered with for young maggots. He has been picked up from a drain. For three hours, I have been touching the mothers, who give body of Christ. I knew it was He.” There was this young sister who had understood that life and count toes Jesus cannot be deceived. He has said so, “I was sick, and you took care of me.”
and tend to our
every need; May What tremendous faith does Mother Teresa encourage her sisters to find! As an American, they be blessed I cannot fathom the extreme poverty that is the daily experience of the Missionaries of with paence and Charity in India. I cannot understand the depth of love for Jesus that Mother Teresa carried tenderness to in her heart unl the day she died. But what I can see is how her love for Jesus was not care for their separated from her love of the poor and for each of her Sisters, and everyone she met. For families and her, it was one and the same love shown to Jesus and to the poor. Behind the stench of themselves with rong flesh, behind the character flaws, and even behind the lack of gratude of those great joy. We pray whom she serves, Mother Teresa did everything with love as an expression of her love for for our own mothers who have nurtured and cared Jesus. Her example can be offRpung to us because it is so simple and so profound; it lacks for us; May they connue to guide us in strong and a sophiscated explanaon and an academic rigor. Her witness is convicng to us because gentle ways. We remember mothers who are there is no duplicity between her beliefs and her acons. Her impact resonated across the separated from their children because of war, globe because she despised the celebrity status that came to her.
poverty, or conflict; May they feel the loving
embrace of our God who wipes every tear away. Our theological reflecons would say that there’s a vercal dimension to the Eucharist, one We pray for women who are not mothers but sll that expresses the awe and reverence for the mystery confected in the sacrament. There is love and shape us with motherly care and also the horizontal dimension wherein our lives are fueled by the Eucharist that consumes compassion. We remember mothers, us each me we receive communion. Some of us might tend to focus on one or the other grandmothers, and greatRgrandmothers who are no aspect, not Mother. For her, they are the same, for how can we say we love Jesus if we longer with us but who live forever in our memory don’t love the poor whom he loved? Mother Teresa connues, “We must be completely and nourish us with their love. Amen.
free [of sin and worldly aachments] to belong wholly to Jesus Christ. Can I, in sincerity, say, ‘Jesus is really living in me now?’ Have I come to know Jesus in reality, not only in NOVENA OF CONFIDENCE imaginaon? Externally, I might be very recollected and prayerful, but this counts for nothing, Sisters, unless deep down you can see that Jesus is really there.”
To the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
Rightly so, the Church offers us this Solemnity of the source and summit of our faith. It is a O Lord Jesus Christ, to treasure far beyond human understanding. And yet it is a reality of Chrisan faith both your most Sacred inmately personal, and communally binding, one that is not confined to the laws of space Heart, I confide this and me yet operates there to give us a myscal foretaste of our eternal desny.
