The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ: June 19, 2022
-
Genesis 14:18–20: Psalm 110 “You are a priest for ever, in the line of Melchizedek.” 1 Corinthians 11:23–26: Luke 9:11b–17 The feeding of the multitudes From ancient times, wheat was ground into flour and baked into bread and grapes were crushed into juice and allowed to ferment into wine. Bread and wine became staples of the human diet, creating a simple meal that could be shared with others. Salem’s king served them to a victorious Abram, pairing the bread and wine with a call for God’s blessing. At the Last Supper, Jesus blessed the bread and wine and shared them with his disciples as his body and blood. Let us thank God for the simple gifts of wheat and grapes.
SS. Corpo e Sangue Di Cristo
L’Eucaristia fa nascvere la Chiesa, esprime l’atto di ringriaziamento di tutta la comunità e la lode per gli innumerevoli benefici ricevuti. Nell’Eucarestia è la memoria di salvezza, è la forza dell’amore di Dio, è la speranza della nostra vita futura.
耶穌聖體聖血節
上主日我們慶祝天主三位一體的奧跡，今天我們慶祝另一個奧蹟，那就是耶穌的聖體聖血，這奧蹟也是我們理智無法明白，而又真真實實存在的，我們祇能靠信德去相信。
今天的福音（路加九：1117）耶穌用五餅二魚餵飽五千人，來預先宣示聖體聖血的奧跡。祂在受難前夕最後晚餐時，祝福了餅，同樣又祝福了酒，祂把普通的無酵餅和葡萄酒變成自己身體和血，使這酒和餅不再是餅和和酒，而是真正的基督的身體，基督的血，祂要神父們照樣地做，分給我們，作我們靈魂的食糧。這事怎能發生？我們雖然無法明白，但耶穌這樣說了，做了，我們就要相信。古往今來，天主為了加強我們對聖體奧跡的信德，也屢屢顯現一些證明聖體真實存在的事實。
聖體聖事是耶穌所立的七件聖事之一，教會每天都舉行感恩祭，亦即是彌撒聖祭，向天主奉獻讚頌感恩，由神父祝聖酒餅，向信徒們分施這靈魂的食糧，並將聖體供奉在聖龕，讓信眾欽崇朝拜，因為聖體是教會生活的中心和支柱
因此，聖堂是個神聖的地方，我們進入聖堂時態度要尊敬端莊，衣着要整齊，就好像要去拜見一位君王或一位大人物一樣，耶穌在聖堂等待我們。我們可以對祂講話，請安、盡情向祂傾訴。領聖體後要用一些時間感謝天主，也要關顧到別人，他們也在向耶穌講話，因此彌撒後不要放聲高談，最好是到聖堂外面才談話。
Servant of God Dorothy Day
Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 -November 29, 1980) was an American journalist , social activist and anarchist who, after a bohemian youth, became a Catholic without abandoning her social and anarchist activism. She was perhaps the best-known political radical among American Catholics.
Day’s conversion is described in her 1952 autobiography, The Long Loneliness. Day was also an active journalist, and described her social activism in her writings. In 1917 she was imprisoned as a member of suffragist Alice Paul’s nonviolent Silent Sentinels. In the 1930s, Day worked closely with fellow activist Peter Maurin to establish the Catholic Worker Movement, a pacifist movement that combines direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. She practiced civil disobedience, which led to additional arrests in 1955, 1957, and in 1973 at the age of seventy-five.
The Church has opened the cause for Day’s possible canonization, which was accepted by the Holy See for investigation. For that reason, the Church refers to her with the As part of the Catholic Worker Movement, Day co-founded the Catholic Worker newspaper in 1933, and served as its editor from 1933 until her death in 1980. In this newspaper, Day advocated the Catholic economic theory of distributism, which she considered a third way between capitalism and socialism. Pope Benedict XVI used her conversion story as an example of how to “journey toward faith… in a secularized environment.” In an address before the United States Congress, Pope Francis included Dorothy Day in a list of four exemplary Americans who “built a better future”. The other three included in his speech by Pope Francis are Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Merton.
For that reason the Church refers to her with the title of Servant of God.
