Take a new look at the Mass
“Mass is the same every week. I don’t always get something our of
going.” Sound familiar? A ritual we know so well can seem pre-
dictable or even routine. Consider these gifts you get from attend-
ing Mass:
Open your mind to something new. Within the Mass are lots of
intriguing, mysterious, or just plain interesting ideas. Listen during
the Scripture readings, the homily, or the Eucharistic prayer for
something that strikes you and talk with God about it. He’ll help
open your mind to something new.
Help others without leaving your seat. We all know people near
and far we would like to help. Distances and barriers disappear at
Mass. When Jesus becomes present in the Eucharist, the entire
Body of Christ is present. So you can pray for anyone you would
like to support and the entire Body prays with you.
Make a change. Find at least one idea within the Mass that makes
sense and seems possible and put it into practice. One new idea can
change your life.

Thought for the Week:
“Times like these, demand strong minds, great hearts, true faith,
and ready hands.” - Josiah Gilbert Holland (1819-1881)
Prayer for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of
Christ (Corpus Christi):
O Lord Jesus Christ, You who have given us Your precious body
and blood to be our meat and drink, grant that through frequent
reception of You in the Holy Eucharist, I may be strengthened in
mind and body to do your Holy Will . Amen.
The Holy Eucharist:
The word “Eucharist” means “Thanksgiving”. In the Holy Eucharist, under the appearances of bread
and wine, the Lord Christ is contained, offered, and received. The whole of Christ is really, truly,
and substantially present in the Holy Eucharist. We use the words “really, truly, and substantially”
to describe Christ’s presence in the Holy Eucharist in order to distinguish Our Lord’s teaching from
that of mere men who falsely teach that the Holy Eucharist is only a sign or figure of Christ, or that
He is present only by His power.

“God’s Way—My Way”
“To live in the midst of the world without wishing its pleasure; to
be a member of each family, yet belonging to none; to share all
sufferings; to penetrate all secrets; to heal all wounds; to go from
men to God to men to bring pardon and hope; to have a heart of
fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastity; to teach and to
pardon, console and bless always, My God, what a life! And it is
yours, O priest of Jesus Christ!” - Unknown
