June 14, 2020 Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish , Methuen ~ Lawrence The Body and Blood of Christ

Dear Parishioners,

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus Christi. It is an important moment in the Church when we set aside a Sunday to praise and celebrate the gift of the Eucharist, and to refresh our understanding and to renew our commitment to the reality of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament. This year this day is all the more special as it marks the beginning of the Year of the Eucharist in the Archdiocese of Boston!

In his book The Church’s Year of Grace Pius Parch wrote “Corpus Christi (Body and Blood of Christ) is a Eucharistic solemnity, or better, the solemn commemoration of the institution of that sacrament. It is, moreover, the Church's official act of homage and gratitude to Christ, who by instituting the Holy Eucharist gave to the Church her greatest treasure. Holy Thursday, assuredly, marks the anniversary of the institution, but the commemoration of the Lord's passion that very night suppresses the rejoicing prop-er to the occasion. Today's observance, therefore, accents the joyous aspect of Holy Thursday.” The Mass for Corpus Christi was written by St. Thomas Aquinas at the request of Pope Urban IV in the year 1264. St. Thomas had a great devotion to the Lord Pre-sent in the Eucharist and in addition to the editing the prayers we will use today also wrote the prayers in the Office of Readings for today, as well as the famous Eucharistic Hymns “Adoro te devote”, “Pange Lingua”, “O Salutaris Hostia”, and “Tantum Ergo Sacramentum”. St. Thomas had a fine mind and was a prolific author. His dense writings are still studied with much enthusiasm today, and he is the “go to guy” for theological discourse on the Catholic Faith especially in the Summa Theologica. There is no question though that his love and reverence for the Eucharist was where his faith life soared. He wrote "Desirous that we be made partakers of His divinity, the only-begotten Son of God has taken to Himself our nature so that having become man, He would be enabled to make men gods. Whatever He assumed of our nature He wrought unto our salvation. For on the altar of the Cross He immolated to the Father His own Body as victim for our reconciliation and shed His blood both for our ransom and for our regeneration. Moreover, in order that a remem-brance of so great benefits may always be with us, He has left us His Body as food and His Blood as drink under appearances of bread and wine.”

In the hymn "Adoro te devote," the sixth verse reads, “Like what tender tales tell of the Pelican / Bathe me, Jesus Lord, in what Thy Bosom ran / Blood that but one drop of has the pow’r to win / All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.” The symbolism of the mother pelican feeding her little baby pelicans is rooted in an ancient legend which preceded Christianity. The legend was that in time of famine, the mother pelican wounded herself, striking her breast with her beak to feed her young with her blood to prevent starvation. Another version of the legend was that the mother fed her dying young with her blood to revive them from death, but in turn lost her own life. Given this

tradition, one can easily see why the early Christians adapted it to symbolize our Lord, Jesus Christ. The pelican symbolizes Jesus our Redeemer who gave His life for our redemption and the atonement He made through His passion and death. Therefore, the image of the pelican is a strong reminder of our Lord, who suffered and died for us to give us eternal life and who nourishes us on our pilgrim way with the Holy Eucha-rist. May that image move us to show the same charity and self-giving love toward all. Alt-hough it was later learned that pelicans don’t actually wound themselves to feed their young, I read on the website Quora.com “Dalmatian pelicans pouches turns red during breeding sea-son and they have a habit of resting their long beaks on their breasts. The combination of these two things gave rise to a myth that was latched onto by early Christian religions as a symbol of self-sacrifice.”

So, what turned out to not be true of a pelican is actually true of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! He did suffer wounds for the sake of His children, and “by His stripes we are healed.” Take time today at Mass to reflect on and prepare yourself for worthy reception of Jesus in the Eucharist. Think about the words the priest says that echo John the Baptist… “Behold the Lamb of God, Behold Him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the Supper of the Lamb.” You are called to this great Eucharistic Feast. Know who it is you are receiving!

God Bless, Fr. Chris

June 14, 2020 Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish , Methuen ~ Lawrence The Body and Blood of Christ

June 5, 2020 Dearly Beloved in Christ, Four hundred and one years this land, which would become the United States of America, has had to deal with the evil and moral cancer that is racism. When the word racism is invoked it is often identified in personal terms: someone whose attitudes, convictions and actions target a group of other individuals because of color. This is a valid but only partial meaning of the term. From such people as Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman, no contemporary leaders, thinkers and activ-ists, African Americans have tried consistently to expand the general understanding of racism. In word and deed, they have pointed to the reality of systemic and structural racism. Racism and slavery find a common nexus in this country, the denial of the humanity and dignity of other per-sons. As a nation we abolished slavery legally, but we have not dealt with its enduring legacy. If we reject slav-ery then we must reject and denounce the dehumanizing attitudes that foster discrimination, inequality and vio-lence. Racism can be explicit, but it also can be unrecognized and unacknowledged. Yet, all of its manifesta-tions are deadly and corrosive to civil society. Like COVID-19, racism can infect any person, without regard to region, religion, race or ethnicity. It is highly contagious, easily transmitted to others, and too often unseen and disguised in those seemingly healthy. Racism is a social and spiritual disease that kills people. The murder of George Floyd, an African American citizen, at the hands of four rogue police officers was tragi-cally all too familiar to the African American community. During our lifetimes there has been a reality of the Negro Travelers Green Book, identifying locations where African Americans stop and stay in our country with less likelihood of being attacked. We have seen the Ku Klux Klan’s brutal lynching's of innocent black people. And we have now again witnessed heinous violence perpetrated by some who were entrusted with the duty to protect. George Floyd’s death makes clear that racist premis and attitudes, often implicit, are woven through basic structures—political, legal, economic, cultural and religious—in the United States. The earliest days of my priesthood were lived in Washington, D.C. on 16th St. in the heart of the city. I was there the night Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. The city was set ablaze with 700 fires, tanks lined the streets around the White House and soldiers with bayonets stood on every corner. The killing of Dr. King sparked despair and rage throughout the African American community in the United States. Since then there have been important and meaningful advances of civil rights and the election of an African American President. But to know that fifty years later four police officers would see themselves entitled to murder a black man with impunity makes clear how far we must yet go to achieve racial equality. In the weeks following Dr. King’s assassination in 1968, during the time of the Poor People’s March on Wash-ington, I joined the individuals and families at Resurrection City at the Lincoln Memorial. Off duty police offic-ers hurled tear gas at our encampment and shouted vile profanities at us. I did not then, and we do not now judge all police officers on the basis of reprehensible, criminal acts of those few who betray their brothers and sisters in uniform. The vast majority of police officers, very notably in Boston through the leadership of Commissioner Gross, serve as heroic, selfless first responders who take seriously their mission and face danger to protect oth-ers.

(continued)

The antidote to the poison of racism is community and solidarity. The protests in response to George Floyd’s mur-der, in my view, have been predominantly peaceful and focused on the urgent need to address racism as a systemic, cultural, and legal reality. Some violent protesters and out of town infiltrators, few in number but by intention dis-proportionately visible, had interest in neither justice nor its achievement. As Governor Baker stated, they should be legally punished and should not be able to tarnish the greater significance of the peaceful marches and demonstra-tions we have witnessed. We recognize that the Catholic Church in the United States must contend with our historical complicity in slavery and our need for racial healing. However, an important part of the legacy of the Catholic faith is our social teaching. The Catholic Church is a community of people of all colors, nationalities and ethnicities. Catholic moral teaching is based on the fact that all people—without regard to race, religion, ethnicity or nationality – are created in the image of God. This teaching rejects any form of racism, personal or systemic. Our faith calls us to the leadership in break-ing down barriers and standing against injustice. To violate human dignity is to dishonor the presence of Christ in each person. Going forward, the reality of racism in our society and the moral imperative of racial equality and justice must be incorporated in our schools, our teaching and our preaching. We must uphold the commitments to equal dignity and human rights in all institutions of our society, in politics, law, economy, and education. Catholic teaching on social justice measures the way a society acts fairly or not. Our work will not be done until African American men, women and children are treated equally in every aspect of life in the United States. The killing of George Floyd is painful evidence of what is and has been at stake for African Americans—the failure of society in too many ways to protect their lives and the lives of their children. As Catholics we are taught to and nurture protect life from its inception to its natural end and at every moment in-between. The demonstrations and protests of these days have been calls for justice and heart wrenching expressions of deep emotional pain from which we cannot turn away. They call us to affirm the inestimable value of every person’s life. They call us to redouble our commitment to foster respect and justice for all people. They call us to uphold and defend the truth that Black Lives Matter. With the assurance of my continued prayers, Devotedly yours in Christ, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM, Cap. Archbishop of Boston

June 14, 2020 Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish , Methuen ~ Lawrence The Body and Blood of Christ

From the Deacons Desk Dear Parishioners, In order to help people gain a better understanding of the Eucharist, on June 14, 2020, Feast of Corpus Christi, until The Feast of Corpus Christi, 2021, Cardinal Sean has announced a Year of the Eucharist to bolster faith of those who already believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and to encourage those who struggle with this belief. It is our hope and prayer that through this spiritual initiative we can invite and encourage Parishioners along with all our brothers and sisters to find the consolation of the Lord through participation in the celebration of the Eu-charist and in times of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. A recent Pew Study entitled “What Americans Know About Religion” reported that only thirty-one (31) percent of Catholics believe that the bread and the wine consecrated during the Mass actually become the body and blood of Jesus, and that only half of Catholics know of the Church’s teaching concerning the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. At the Last Supper, Christ gave us the priesthood so He could be present everywhere in the world, not just in Jerusa-lem, in every time and age. Through the Eucharist, we have direct contact with the Lord at the celebration of Mass and in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. When we enter our church, we can see the red glow of the sanctuary lamp and know that Jesus is there for us. He is always waiting silently and lovingly, ready to receive us and console us. Both current and recent times have been very difficult for the Church and her people. In the Year of the Eucharist, we all have the opportunity to renew and strengthen our faith and our closeness to the Lord. If we center ourselves in the Real Presence of Jesus, in His friendship, then everything else will make sense. At the celebration of Mass, Jesus is there, waiting for us, inviting us to the table where He is making a gift of Himself to us so that we may have the strength to make a gift of ourselves to others. That is what human fulfillment is about. It is about love and giving of ourselves on behalf of others. That is the meaning of the Eucharist, it is love taken to the extreme. The more we understand that, the more we will want to be present to the Eucharist and the more the Eucharist will transform us. Discipleship is not a solo flight. Jesus sent people out two by two, not one by one, and spoke of the importance of “two or three are gathered in my name.” The Eucharist is where we gather as Christ’s family, where we can witness our faith to one another and grow in our capacity to love. The Eucharist gives us the strength to carry out our mission to transform the world, to work for justice, to serve the poor, to bring healing and reconciliation. But we can’t do these things unless we have the strength that comes from the intimate contact with God’s love that is given to us in the Eucharist. Discipleship also requires a plan. I have been invited to be the coordinator of our journey throughout The Year of the Eucharist. Over the course of the year there will be a number of activities e.g. Holy Hours, times of Adoration to name a few that will hopefully lead us to a greater experience of the Lord in our lives. Weekly I will post in the bulletin information and teachings on the Eucharist and its grace in our lives. We need to also ask ourselves what we can do, individually and with our families and friends, to prepare for the Year of the Eucharist. We can find the answer to these questions in times of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament in our churches. We can read and reflect on the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John. We can invite family, friends, and col-leagues to join us at Mass and times of Adoration. We can reflect on the importance of receiving the Lord in the Eucharist, the difference that makes in our lives, and share that insight with those who are close to us. We don’t exist by accident. Our lives are a gift of God’s gratuitous love, and the Eucharist is the most profound symbol of His love for us. Jesus comes to us in humility, in littleness, so that no one need be afraid or unsure of His acceptance. He makes Himself present to us so that we can have the strength we need to live our mission in the Church as disciples of Christ. God created us and entered into creation in Jesus Christ so we could be close to Him, hear Him, know and love Him. The sacraments not only touch our lives, they mold our very being, and the Eucharist is the center of our sacramental life. That is why I am a Catholic. That is why I am a deacon. Without the Eucharist, I would ask myself, “Is it worth it?” I know it is worth it, because Christ really is present in the Eucharist. As we journey together throughout the Year of the Eucharist, may God bless you all abundantly with the assurance that Jesus will be with us always, even to the end of time. That is Jesus’ promise and He keeps that promise in the gift of the Eucharist. Deacon Steve
