June 18, 2017-Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) “Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” 1 CORINTHIANS 10:17 As disciples of Jesus, we are called to lead holy lives and invite others to join us. Living a stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts, serves a twofold purpose. One, it helps build God’s kingdom here on earth. Two, it is a road map to Heaven. Let’s help each other get there!

A Listening Presence

Everyone at times has difficulties and needs a caring companion who will listen, empathize and be a reminder of a caring faith community. St. Gabriel BeFriender ministry is not a ministry of “doing” but of “being.” BeFrienders provide care through a listening presence to anyone experiencing grief, loss, transition or other cares. To request a visit, contact the parish office at (952) 935-5536.

SMALL GROUP MEDITATION

June 18, 2017, The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a; Psalm 147; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; John 6:51-58 The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ celebrates so rich a mystery, it deserves not one day, but a life time of contemplation and action! Today we celebrate the very truth that sets us apart as Catholic Christians; namely, that Jesus is truly present body and blood, soul and divinity, in the consecrated bread and wine of the Eucharist. It should not surprise us that many Catholics find this one of the most difficult teachings of the Church to believe and live by. Even in the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6, John recounted twice that the Jews disputed Jesus’ words, once doubting that he was indeed the divine Son of God (John 6:41), and again misunderstanding his meaning when he stated clearly, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” (John 6:51) One of the reasons the Jews struggled with this teaching is the verb Jesus used for “eat.” In his discourse, Jesus switched from the more common word for eating to a verb that means “to chew or gnaw” much like animals consume their food. This shocked his listeners, and made a very radical point about what Jesus was demanding. He was not asking the Jews, and is not asking us, to see the Eucharist as a symbol, a sign of his historical sacrifice. He is demanding that we express our faith in him as the Redeemer and Savior in a very physical and real way, by eating his body and blood, and participating in the eternal sacrifice. Paul explains this further as he states, “The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?” We do not only remember, we participate in Christ’s body, the very body that suffered, died and rose. Once we begin to understand the radical offering Jesus makes in the Eucharist, we are able to respond with the adoration, praise, awe and humility that are fitting each and every time we receive Holy Communion at Mass or spend time in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. We prepare for our participation by examining our lives for any sin that would tarnish this participation, and if necessary, go to confession or refrain from receiving communion. We pray to the Holy Spirit to deepen our faith in this mystery, and kindle a fire of love for Jesus in us. We go out, strengthened by the very real presence of God in us, to share Him with all others. For more information or to sign up for a small group contact Karen Fish at (952) 239-1949. Reflection Questions:  Reread the Bread of Life Discourse in John 6: 35-59 and imagine yourself in the scene. What part of Jesus’ sermon gives you comfort and peace? What part shocks you or confuses you?  This passage has been interpreted in two ways, one metaphorically and one literally and sacramentally.  Discuss how the passage can be interpreted as an invitation to faith (metaphorically), and as an invitation to the Eucharist (literally and sacramentally). How do we as Catholics interpret it? How can the two ways work together? How would you respond to someone who sees it only in the metaphorical way?  How do you respond to Jesus’ use of the word “to gnaw or chew” on his body? Why do you think you respond this way? What could God be trying to teach you by these words?  As Christians, our faith in Jesus must lead to action. How does your belief in Jesus’ real presence in the Eucharist direct your choices in your daily life?  Some recent studies have found that only 20% of US Catholics believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. If you feel comfortable, share with your group how you understand the Eucharist. Pray for each other to grow deeper in your belief and understanding of this great mystery.  The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains an entire section of teaching on the Eucharist. (Part II, Section II, Chapter One, Article 3). Spend some time this week reading this section, and then share with the group next week what new insights you learned. (It can be read for free online: http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/ catechism/catechism-of-the-catholic-church/index.cfm )  If you do not already participate in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, try to visit for a short time this week. The chapel at the St. Joseph campus is open to all during the day until late evening. Jesus is waiting for you.

El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo “A”

18 de junio del 2017

CONFIANZA EN JESÚS

La fiesta de hoy celebra otro misterio central de nuestra fe: el misterio de la Eucaristía. Como el misterio de la Trinidad, la presencia real del Cuerpo y de la Sangre de Cristo en la Eucaristía nunca se puede entender completamente, sino que sólo se puede creer. Así como a los israelitas en el desierto se les invitó a poner su fe en la palabra de Dios dirigida a ellos, a nosotros se nos invita a confiar plenamente en las palabras de Jesús. En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús promete darnos una porción de su propia carne y sangre, y además compartir la vida eterna. Somos llamados a creer en su palabra y a abrir nuestro corazón para recibir verdadero alimento y vida por nuestra participación en la Eucaristía. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Adoración eucarístia perpetua Venga a rezar en la capilla en cualquier momento. (La capilla se cierra a la medianoche del sábado hasta el mediodia del domingo). Si usted puede comprometerse con una hora semanal, los horarios para los cuales necesitamos adoradores están a continuacion. Necesitamos voluntarios para adorar a Nuestro Señor: Lunes, 3:00am Miércoles, 2:00am Jueves, 11:00pm Viernes, 2:00am Sabado, 11:00pm Para mas información o registrarse para adorar a Nuestro Señor, por favor llame a Luis Becerra: (612) 490-0081.

GRUPO DE ORACION Sábados 7:00pm

Catequesis de Padres de familia Bienvenid@s a la Santa Misa SÓLO JESÚS

Debemos orar sin cansarnos, porque la salvación de la humanidad no depende del éxito material… sino sólo de Jesús.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta celebración del Día de los Padres tuvo su origen en 1910, en los Estados Unidos de América. Aunque la práctica comenzó en 1910, no fue sino hasta 1972 que se fijó un día oficial para celebrar al papá. Poco a poco esta fecha del segundo domingo de junio se ha ido expandiendo al resto del mundo con algunas excepciones. En Italia por ejemplo, la fiesta del padre se celebra el 19 de marzo, día de san José. Durante la Revolución Industrial del siglo diecinueve, José, esposo de María recibió su primera fiesta oficial. La Iglesia, preocupada por el ingreso del padre a las fábricas, propuso a este santo varón como ejemplo de lo que los padres deben ser en la vida de sus hijos e hijas; ejemplos de fe, ternura y trabajo. Aún en nuestro tiempo, el Rito del Bautismo de Niños insiste que el padre, junto con la madre, deben ser los mayores maestros de sus hijos. Al igual que José, el papá debe cuidar y proteger a su familia, enseñarle a los niños a trabajar y ser honestos para el bien de la familia y la sociedad. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

18 de junio de 2017-Sacratísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo (Corpus Christi) "Porque hay un solo pan, nosotros que somos muchos somos un solo cuerpo, porque todos participamos del único pan". 1 Corintios10:17 Como discípulos de Jesús, estamos llamados a llevar vidas santas e invitar a otros a unirse a nosotros. Vivir un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad, ser agradecidos y generosos con nuestros dones, cumple un doble propósito. Uno, ayuda a construir el reino de Dios aquí en la tierra. Dos, es una hoja de ruta hacia el cielo. ¡Ayudémonos unos a otros a llegar allá!
