"Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever." John 6:57-58

 

That we can collaborate with God is a humbling truth.  That God lives among us is an even more startling reality.  The Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ!  We, the Church, are also the body of Christ!  Our call is to eat and drink the body and blood of Christ.  Our vocation is to be that Body of Christ thus collaborating with him.  Perhaps the Lord is calling you to do so as a priest, deacon, brother or sister.  Contact Father Robert Medley at the Vocations Office 732-562-1990 or e-mail Vocations@diometuchen.org.  Or visit our website at www.diometuchen.org/vocations

“Why hasn’t God answered my prayer?”

Ever pray really hard for something and get only silence in return?  It probably felt like God didn’t answer.  While there’s no magic formula to always get what we want, the Bible tells us that if we trust God, we’ll always get what we need and much of what we want, too (Matthew 6:35-33).  But we have to do our part to get results.  Strengthen your friendship with God.  “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you” (John 15:7).  God wants our friendship all the time, not just when we want something.  Daily prayer is key to building that friendship.  Come clean.  Unconfessed sin creates static in the connection to God.  The sacrament of Confession helps clear the line.  In Psalm 32, David says that his life was miserable when he avoided responsibility for his sin.  As soon as he confessed it, God answered his prayers.  Look for it.  God’s answer may not be what you were looking for but may be even better.  Keep watch for the unexpected.  Don’t give up.  Jesus promised, “whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24)  Don’t forget, God has a better sense of timing than we do.  He’ll pick the right moment.
