“To visit the Blessed Sacrament is… a proof of gratitude,
an expression of love, and a duty of Adoration towards
Christ our Lord”
The Children’s Chapel is open from 10:00am to 3:00pm, for personal prayer and meditation before the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle. Everyone is invited and welcome to stay as long as time allows.
ONE LORD, ONE FAITH Do you suppose the authors of the four Gospels were aware of today’s first reading from the second book of Kings? Of course they were. The prophet Elisha fed a hundred men with twenty barley loaves in order to prove God’s power. This same miracle, now multiplied by more people fed by fewer loaves, is attributed to Jesus in all four Gospels. In today’s passage from John we even have the detail that the loaves were barley, reminding every pious Jew of that miracle that Elisha worked. Yet Jesus went into hiding when they wanted to make him king. It is the passage from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians that gives us the reason for this. The power of Jesus comes from God. It is not meant merely to feed us, or to provide one group with a king. There is one Lord, one faith, one God and Father of all who works through Jesus Christ and through us all. —Copyright © J. S.

A Prayer to Grandparents
Dear God, please bless my grandparents. Thank you for the life they gave my parents
and for the life, they give to me.
For the ways they helped me and made me strong, I give thanks.
For the ways, they love me no matter what, I rejoice.
For the ways, they have paved the road that leads me here, I am grateful.
Let them grow in wisdom and joy in life. Let them find peace and rest from their work. Let them be healed of every sickness and pain.
And let them see with their own eyes your glory and the love of their children and grandchildren.
Bless them always until they come to rest in you.

PROTECT THE HYDE AMENDMENT. Congress is trying to force Americans to pay for abortion. The Hyde Amendment and similar laws have protected taxpayers from funding elective abortion for 45 years. Now, powerful members of Congress
want to take away these laws that both Democrats and Republicans have supported for nearly half a century. Billions of taxpayer dollars could be used to pay for abortion. The United State Conference of Catholic Bishops Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities tells us that it is critically important for Catholics to send a strong message before Congress moves forward to impose taxpayer-funded abortion. Learn more at respectlife.org/no-taxpayer-abortion. Sign the petition on
FEAST OF FAITH The Preface Dialogue “Lift up your hearts.” “We lift them up to the Lord.” “Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.” “It is right to give him thanks and praise.” With this ancient dialogue we enter the Eucharistic Prayer, the heart of the Mass. These venerable words have been part of the Christian liturgy almost from the beginning—-by the time of Hippolytus of Rome (c. 215) they were already fixed in the liturgy. Several times during the Mass the priest has invited us to pray. There is something different here. We are invited to be “lifted up”, to ascend, to climb the Lord’s mountain, as it were, to go to a new place for this most solemn part of the Mass. And we are invited to a new frame of mind, a sense of joy, of focused dedication: our hearts must not be cast down, but lifted up, and lifted to the Lord. Why? Because we are going to give thanks—we are going to “eucharist!” It is right and just that we do this. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
