DeSales Spirituality Services DeSales Weekly

Become What You Receive In the Gospel, Jesus proclaims to the people, “I am the bread of life.” (John 6: 24-35). Pope St. Leo the Great affirms that, by partaking of the body and blood of Christ, we are changed into what we receive. He writes, “For the effect of our sharing in the body and blood of Christ is to change us into what we receive.” This means that through our reception of the Eucharist we become Jesus for our world today, its “bread of life.” St. Francis de Sales then urges us to “be who we are and be that well.” Together, these words from Jesus and two great saints are both an invitation and a challenge to us Christians, as the Body of Christ, to be the bread that nourishes both the body and the spirit of today’s world, a world that hungers for God and thirsts for justice. How do we, the People of the Bread, feed that hunger and quench that thirst? Jesus, as an example, is the answer. He was tireless in preaching the Father’s Kingdom in both word and deed. As St. John so perceptively saw, Jesus is both God’s Word to us, as well as, God’s Deed for us. If we want to know how much God loves us, we only need to see who God has sent to us, and what, in Jesus, God has done for us. Jesus preached the beatitudes and lived their spirit. He forgave the sinner, gave sight to the blind, and hearing to the deaf. He preached the Good News to the poor, befriended the outcast, looked after the widow and orphan, and invited sinners to his table. In all this, he proclaimed God’s Kingdom, not as near, but as already present in him, in his word, and in his deeds. We, who are nourished by the Bread of Life, are gradually changed, recreated, transformed in- to what we receive. For that reason, Jesus is seen once again walking upon the earth! Jesus spoke to the spiritual, material, and societal needs of his day. We, as his Body today, must speak to those same needs as displayed in our world today. Jesus suffered and died for speaking the truth and confronting, head-on, the evils of his day. So must we! The Holy Spirit transformed the first disciples of Jesus, who were frightened and discouraged, into heroes of the early Church. Nourished by Word and Sacrament, these ordinary men and women went out to all corners of the earth preaching the Good News of Jesus and continuing his work of peace, justice, healing, and love. We are called to do the same today. For that reason, let us be who we truly are—and be that perfectly well!

Tom Hagan, OSFS, founder of “Hands Together”, a non-profit organization that helps the poorest of the poor in Haiti. He will speak at all the Masses on behalf of Hands Together this weekend August 14 & 15. Here is a message from Fr. Tom Hagan: Many years have passed since my first trip to Haiti in 1985. It's with warm fondness and lasting satisfaction that I remember the handful of enthusiastic young students who orga- nized efforts to help two dozen people suffering from leprosy in Gonaives, Haiti. I thank God for the wonderful, caring people that joined me in doing something for this great world of ours - joining "hands together" and discovering the joy that comes from helping others. Much has been accomplished since our incorporation in 1989 and I am extremely proud of all the dedicated people who have participated in Hands Together's efforts to build a more compassionate and human world. We must be willing to teach that we are all linked together; our only lasting bond is the bond of love. We must be willing to join hands with the poorest of the poor and work together to overcome all kinds of bigotry and hatred. Our mission, first and foremost, is that each of us be a loving teacher and humble student. We provide learning experiences that urge people to discover beauty in every culture and truth in every human encounter so that bridges are built and linkages among people strengthened. We spiritualize our involvement with Hands Together. We dedicate ourselves to God and to serving the least of our brothers and sisters. We continually respect this great earth and all of its people.
