"Apparently someone is texting people saying I need a gift card to give to a sick parishioner who is dying of cancer. I have no idea what this is about and I am not asking for any gift cards. Please ignore any such requests. they aren't from me."

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER: 

“My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart ... I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You,”

• “Fasting cleanses the soul, raises the mind, subjects one’s flesh to the spirit, renders the heart contrite and humble, scatters the clouds of concupiscence, quenches the fire of lust, and kindles the true light of chastity. Enter again into yourself.” ~ St Agustine

A letter sent by the Archdiocesan Committee for Renew my Church. 

"The potential changes the grouping will consider could include scenarios in which our parish unites with one or more other parishes to form a new parish. There could also be scenarios in which our parish remains in our current structure and does not formally unite with another parish."

"The scenarios could include asking us to consider what a future parish structure looks like with either our church remaining an active church worship site or if our church building were to close."

"...Until we complete the process and receive the Cardinal’s final decision in January 2021, we cannot be sure of the outcome."

Catholic Core Belief About the Holy Eucharist:

The Holy Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Christian life" (LG 11, CCC 1324). We, Catholics believe in the Real Presence.

The Holy Eucharist is not a symbol or a reminder. The Holy Eucharist is Christ truly present, his Body under the form of bread, the Blessed Sacrament, and his Blood under the form of wine, the Precious Blood. It is the "Heart of the Heart of God" (Fr. Simon referencing to "heart tissues" in approved Holy Eucharistic miracles). It is the Holy Sacrament in which Our Lord, Jesus is truly present - Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity under the appearances of bread and wine.

I once quoted the statistic that only 30% of Catholics believe in the real presence of Christ in the tabernacle. My hearer said, “Oh no, Father. 100% of Catholics believe in the real presence.” The point being made is that if you don’t believe in the real presence you aren’t a Catholic. Remember, that the word “believe” means “trust”. You may not understand how such a thing can be. You may have a thousand questions, but if you trust what Jesus said, “This is My body and this is My blood”, then you believe. - Rev. Know-it-All
