Thomas’ Message From “HOPE TO DIE” By SCOTT HAHN “When we receive the Eucharist, we receive Jesus Christ, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. This is what every Catholic Announce the Good News of child learns before he or she receives First Holy Communion, Jesus and this is the ancient belief of the Church, taught to us by Jesus himself: "My flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink Readings for the Week of March 21, 2021 indeed" (John 6:55). "This is my body . This is my blood" (Matt 26:26-28). Readings for the Week of March 21, 2021 In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ is really and truly present. His Sunday Fifth Sunday of Lent presence is as real as it was when he walked the streets of Jer 31:31-34; Ps 51:3-4, 12-13, 14-15; Heb 5:7-9; Jerusalem and as real as it will be when he returns at the end of days. It is a true parousia, a true coming. And it changes Jn 12:20-33 us. At every Mass, in every Holy Communion, Jesus gives his Monday Dn 13:1-9, 15-17, 19-30, 33-62 or 13:41c-62; divine life to us. As we've talked about already, the Church Ps 23:1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6; Jn 8:1-11 calls this life sanctifying grace. It's the life that God breathed Tuesday Saint Turibius of Mogrovejo, Bishop into Adam at the dawn of creation and that Adam and Eve both possessed until they made the mistake of listening to Nm 21:4-9; Ps 102:2-3, 16-18, 19-21; Jn 8:21-30 the serpent. Sanctifying grace is what they lost, and it's what Wednesday Dn 3:14-20, 91-92, 95; Dn 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56; Jesus restores to us in Baptism. Jn 8:31-42 The Eucharist is God continuing to nourish us with that gift. Thursday Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord He feeds us with himself to give our souls what they need for our journey through this world. When we receive the Eucha- Is 7:10-14; 8:10; Ps 40:7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 11; rist frequently, worthily, and reverently, we are healed. We Heb 10:4-10; Lk 1:26-38 are comforted. We are strengthened. We are empowered to Friday Jer 20:10-13; Ps 18:2-3a, 3bc-4, 5-6, 7; Jn 10:31-42 live the life God calls us to live, make the sacrifices he calls us Saturday Ez 37:21-28; Jer 31:10, 11-12abcd, 13; Jn 11:45-56 to make, and be the people he calls us to be. The Eucharist, in short, helps us to become holy. It helps us to become Sunday Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord saints.” Mk 11:1-10 or Jn 12:12-16; Is 50:4-7; Ps 22:8-9, 17-18 19-20, 23-24; Phil 2:6-11; Mk 14:1—15:47or 15:1-39 Penance Service followed by individual confession will be Rosary 30 minutes before all Masses held on: March 25, 6pm at Sacred Heart March 26, 6pm St. Peter Claver Please plan to attend one of these services for the Pascal Celebrations.
