You are a priest forever, in the Line of Melchizedek.

Today’s Readings:  We are often tempted to regard eating and drinking as a rather personal enterprise. We nourish our bodies but do not become involved in the lives of those gathered around our dinner table. The readings for today, however, urge us to see meals as a communal enterprise. Against the background of the Eucharistic meal at which all Christians feast on the same spiritual food, we are challenged to become involved in the lives of our sisters and brothers. Since we also share in the food generated on this planet, we all, in effect, eat at the common earthly table. Far from being passive onlookers, we are to become active participants in the needs and concerns of others. To share a meal is to share oneself with all one’s table partners.

      The celebration of the Eucharist cannot be a private devotion that does not affect the rest of our lives. It is a meaningful and dynamic undertaking when the Christian community proclaims the death of the Lord. It implies that Christ’s death style must become the Christian’s lifestyle. In eating and drinking, we recommit ourselves to serve the Christ who is manifest in the needs and problems of our brothers and sisters. With this celebration, we should pay special attention to the needs of our brothers and sisters who suffer from famine. Ultimately, to share our Eucharistic meal is to share ourselves.


SPECIAL EVENTS

 

ALSO IN RECOGNITION OF THE Year of the Priest, you are invited to a Celebration Reception in honor of the Priests in our Deanery to be held on Corpus Christi Sunday, June 6 at Holy Redeemer’s Activity Center.

        Reception will start immediately following the Corpus Christi Procession which will begin at 3 PM from St. Mary’s and proceed to Holy Redeemer. If you are unable to walk, please join us at the hall as we show our appreciation to our priests for their sacrificial life to us, the church.

 

THE SCIOTO CO. VOCATIONS COMMITTEE, led by Chaplain Fr. Joseph Yokum, would like to invite you to pray and work with them in their Mission – Committed to nurturing and fostering vocations to the priesthood and consecrated religious life in our deanery through prayer and inviting families to hear and respond to God’s call to “Come Follow Me.” Every Tuesday at 7 PM Mass is offered at St. Peter’s for Vocations in our deanery. Every first Friday Fr. Yokum offers a Holy Hour of Eucharistic Adoration and Benedication at 8 PM for Vocations. On the odd months it is held at St. Monica and even months at St. Peter. Please join us as we “beg the harvest master to send out laborers to gather His harvest.” (Mt. 9:38)

CYSC is aligned with the goals and components of youth ministry as set forth in “Renewing the Vision” (the Catholic Church’s blueprint for the continued development of effective ministry with young and older adolescents published by the USCCB, 1997) and seeks to enhance and support parish based youth ministry and catechetical program. Please come and support the future of our Catholic Church!!
