- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
BODY & BLOOD OF CHRIST
The
action of the Eucharist is mirrored in Jesus' action of blessing,
breaking and giving the loaves to the crowd in today's Gospel.
The power of the Eucharist is meant to affect not only those
in church but people who gather everywhere.
-
- Adults: What can I do to connect my participation
in the Eucharist more clearly with service to the world?
-
- Children: What can I do this week at school
and at home to help others?
FEAST OF THE BODY & BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI)
This feast is celebrated in the
Latin Church on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday to solemnly
commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist. In the United
States and some other countries the solemnity is held on the
Sunday after Trinity.
St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon,
from her early youth, had a great veneration for the Blessed
Sacrament, and always longed for a special feast in its honor.
She made known her ideas to several bishops and Pope Urban IV.
Urban IV, always an admirer of the feast, ordered the annual
celebration of Corpus Christi in the Thursday next after Trinity
Sunday, at the same time granting many indulgences to the faithful
for the attendance at Mass and at the Office.

LITURGY BYTES & BITS
The Gloria is used on all Sundays and major
feasts throughout the year except during Lent and Advent; is
a hymn and should be sung rather than recited; is a hymn to praise
God for God’s mercy and to acclaim the presence of the risen
Lord in our midst; is omitted during Lent because of the Church’s
desire to focus on the penitential aspect of that season, and
during Advent, because for a time the Church also viewed that
season as penitential. That Advent has never been considered
as having the same penitential cast as Lent is shown by the fact
that the Alleluia continues to be sung during Advent. The Gloria
is omitted and in contrast comes back joyfully in the angels’
song at Christmas. Ministry Resource
