               1 Cor 10:16-17  Jn 6:51-58

The cup we share, is it not the blood of Christ? And the bread we break, is it not his body (2,3)? Just as God fed the Israelites with manna from heaven (1), so too do we feed on the best of wheat (Ps), the bread of angels, food for the pilgrim journey (Seq).

Stewardship

The Scriptures today remind us that “we, many though we are, are one body for we all partake of the one loaf.”  How are we using our gifts of time and talent to build up the Body of Christ?                            See 1 Corinthians 10:16-17

 

PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS

Peter Yazgier, John Hanlon, Patricia Ryan,

Josephine Sarnoski, Al & Ruth Schraeder, Christine Dyke Genevieve Casey and Elizabeth Connelly.

 

Let us remember in our prayers Alejandria Coruna

whom God has called home.
