The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
As our world faces so much turmoil and change, it is
now more important than ever to remember who God
is, who we are and where we are going. It is easy to
get distracted and lose focus, especially when we are
being pulled in so many directions. We can not only
lose sight of God but one another.
Maintaining our well developed and mature relation-
ships with God and one another is essential to continu-
ing to live, healthy, happy, and focused lives. In a
message to young people, Pope Benedict XVI said,
“the happiness you are seeking, the happiness you
have a right to enjoy has a name and a face: it is Jesus
of Nazareth, hidden in the Eucharist.”
What is true for those who are younger is even truer
for those who are older. Regardless of how the partic-
ulars of life change over time, human beings are still
hard-wired to seek the fullness of life and happiness.
How we embark on this journey and what we choose
along the way will indicate whether we meet success.
There is so much brokenness and pain in our world.
Many people are lost, feeling lonely, anxious, margin-
alized, victimized, isolated, oppressed, and abused.
Every time we receive the Body of Christ, we have an
opportunity to become what we eat.
The power and presence of Christ in the Eucharist be-
comes present in us and effects change in ourselves
and in the lives of those we meet. We are given the
grace to become temples of justice and peace, carrying
God’s sacred Presence within us wherever we go. Our
faith community is ignited with the fire of God’s love
and stands out as a beacon of hope in a world that is
lost.
This is the only way we can discover peace-filled res-
olutions to violence and create innovative solutions to
what is fueling its need in the first place. True happi-
ness, for the young and old alike, becomes an obtaina-
ble goal.
St. John Maria Vianney says it so well. “There is
nothing so great as the Eucharist. If God had some-
thing more precious, he would have given it to us.”
Only the Eucharist has the ability to connect, sustain,
strengthen, and properly orient us, not only on the
road of this life but the road to life eternal.
-continued -
Knowing this, when life gets challenging, unsettling,
and difficult, we can rely on and cling to this gift we
have in the Real Presence of Christ. This actual en-
counter with God celebrates God’s unconditional love
for us and grounds us to the truth of who we are in a
way nothing else is able to do.
Through the Eucharist we really do become the Body
of Christ, we are also bonded together in a most per-
fect way to one another as that Body. Nourished, unit-
ed, and strengthened by the Eucharist, let us individu-
ally and collectively, bring this wonderful gift to all
we meet, especially the poor with whom we have a
special connection.

KC Statewide Fraternal Benefit Night Long Term Care - What it is.
How people pay for it. Why people need it.
Studies show that of those individuals reaching 65
years of age, 70% will need Long Term Care services
at some point. The expense of Long Term Care can
quickly drain the assets of those who are in need of
those services, jeopardizing people’s plans for the as-
sets that they have spent a lifetime of hard work accu-
mulating. This presentation will give an overview of
what Long Term Care is, how people pay for those
services, why having a plan for Long Term Care ex-
penses is vital to any well executed retirement plan,
and how Knights of Columbus Long Term Care insur-
ance works. To be register for the presentation on June
9th 7:30pm go to:
