I heard this line recently. There are times when we are encouraged to believe that only the present counts. We are encouraged to believe that nothing can really be changed. We are exhorted to hold that there is only one way to go. In the gospel, the disciples had begun to write off Jesus. Others were leaving. Jesus responds to the situation by using and teaching the process of Failure and Success. Even in failures, God is at work. Our challenge is to let Hope grow, by letting God work in his fashion and not impose our personal ideals. How many times have we tried to do things our own way and didn’t work out? Let us remind ourselves that we are not in charge of the world but we can be instruments to bring God’s love to all.

To develop hope is to cultivate mystery. I heard this line recently. There are times when we are encouraged to believe that only the present counts. We are encouraged to believe that nothing can really be changed. We are exhorted to hold that there is only one way to go. In the gospel, the disciples had begun to write off Jesus. Others were leaving. Jesus responds to the situation by using and teaching the process of Failure and Success. Even in failures, God is at work. Our challenge is to let Hope grow, by letting God work in his fashion and not impose our personal ideals. How many times have we tried to do things our own way and didn’t work out? Let us remind ourselves that we are not in charge of the world but we can be instruments to bring God’s love to all.

Letter to Bishops on the bread and wine for the Eucharist At the request of the Holy Father, Pope Francis, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments is writing to Diocesan Bishops (and to those who are their equivalents in law) to remind them that it falls to them above all to duly provide for all that is required for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper (cf. Lk 22: 8,13). It is for the Bishop as principal dispenser of the mysteries of God, moderator, promoter and guardian of the liturgical life in the Church entrusted to his care (Cf. CIC can. 835 § 1), to watch over the quality of the bread and wine to be used at the Eucharist and also those who prepare these materials. In order to be of assistance we recall the existing regulations and offer some practical suggestions. Until recently it was certain religious communities who took care of baking the bread and making the wine for the celebration of the Eucharist. Today, however, these materials are also sold in supermarkets and other stores and even over the internet. In order to remove any doubt about the validity of the matter for the Eucharist, this Dicastery suggests that Ordinaries should give guidance in this regard by, for example, guaranteeing the Eucharistic matter through special certification. The Ordinary is bound to remind priests, especially parish priests and rectors of churches, of their responsibility to verify those who provide the bread and wine for the celebration and the worthiness of the material. It is also for the Ordinary to provide information to the producers of the bread and wine for the Eucharist and to remind them of the absolute respect that is due to the norms.

police or Child Protective Services. Any current or past cases of abuse involving someone who works for the Church should also be reported to the Promotor of Justice at 903-266-2159 or
