FROM THE PASTOR
Summarizing Fr Kris’ weekly message (which is in the bulletin here):

This week, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, more commonly known as Corpus Christi. Today’s solemnity is a good chance for us to reflect more deeply on the mystery of the Eucharist. The fact that Jesus gives Himself to us under the appearance of ordinary food is, in all honest, something that’s probably too great of a gift for our minds to really comprehend.

In some ways, Corpus Christi may also be more necessary in our contemporary age. Various studies of recent years have indicated that dwindling numbers of Catholics believe in Jesus’ real presence in the Eucharist. While that has not been my experience in the parishes where I’ve served, it is a factor to consider. Over the past 11 months with you at St. Luke’s and St. Patrick’s, I’ve seen tremendous devotion to our Lord in the Eucharist, so this seems like a good chance to offer some texts from the saints of the Church to affirm our belief …

Jesus’ real presence in the Eucharist is serious business. And this is why we maintain a deep reverence when we’re in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament The celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the most important and sacred act we can participate in, and is a foretaste of Heaven. It’s my hope and prayer that we all live in accord with the greatness of the gift that we’ve been given.
-Pope St. John Paul II, pray for us-
-Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, make our hearts like unto thine-

********************
The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
