VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED!!!!!
Our Cathedral Rectory is in a sad state of disrepair
and in dire need of some TLC. It needs
scraping, caulking, puttying, and painting and cleaning, carpets ripped up and
floors sanded and sealed.
Work needs to be done in two phases: inside and outside.
Target date for phase 1—inside: Saturday, June 14. We need about 6-8 reliable self-starting
people to clean, rip up carpets and assess floors. Equipment needs are: buckets, rags, cleaning
supplies, tools to rip up carpets, etc.
Tentative target date for phase 2—outside: Saturday,
August 16. We need 8-10 strong,
reliable, self-starting people to scrape, caulk, putty, prime, and paint the
outside of the rectory. We will need
ladders, scrapers, brushes, caulking guns, putty knives, and people not afraid
to crawl up ladders.
This is your chance to do some very meaningful
volunteer work for your Parish. WE NEED
YOU.
If not you, who?

“The bread that we break, is it
not a participation in the body of Christ?
(1 Cor
Today we celebrate
the feast often called by the Latin name
The two meanings are related, and one gives depth to the
other. Their combination reminds us that
the Eucharist is profoundly social.
The sacrament of
the Eucharist is rooted in ancient
The responsorial
psalm for today, Psalm 147, reflects a later period in
biblical
Paul first reminds
the Corinthian Christians (and us today) that as members of the body of Christ
they constitute one body. The body is a
natural symbol and a powerful image.
Consider your own body, how all its parts must work together and how no
part can be hurt without the whole body being hurt. In antiquity, as today, the image of body was
often applied to cities (the body politic) and other social entities. But the body of Christ is not just another
social organization or another coalition of like-minded persons united in a
voluntary association. It is the body of
Christ. Christ makes this body
different. Christ comes first. Christ makes the body. His relationship to us forms us into the body
of Christ. Our vertical relationship
with Christ has as its necessary consequence our horizontal relationship with
one another. In that social sense we are
the body of Christ.
In 1 Corinthians 10
Paul relates the body of Christ that we constitute as Christians and the body
of Christ that we share in the Eucharist.
Sharing the one bread and the one cup is a powerful sign of our oneness
in Christ. By participating in the eucharistic meal we express our
unity with Christ and with one another.
As members of Christ’s body, we affirm our identity and unity when we
receive the eucharistic body
of Christ.
In today’s readings
from John 6, Jesus identifies himself as “the living bread that came down from
heaven,” thus linking himself with the manna in the wilderness and with “the
best of wheat.” He goes on to promise
that “whoever eats this bread will live forever.” In other words, participation in the life of
Jesus, the living bread, is the first installment on or the inauguration of our
eternal life with God. Our participation
in the Eucharist concretizes and energizes our relationship with Christ and
with one another. As members of the body
of Christ, we share in the body of Christ.
Daniel J. Harrington
How does
the Old Testament motif of God feeding his people enrich your appreciation of
the Eucharist?
When you
receive the body of Christ in the Eucharist, do you reflect on your identity as
a member of the body of Christ?
What
relationship do you see between the Eucharist and the church’s social
teachings?
