Pastor’s Corner
Me and my household…We will serve the Lord; We will serve the Lord…Me and my household!
This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ - commonly known as Corpus Christi. In the Eucharistic Prayer at every Mass the Church echoes the words of Christ at the Last Supper, "Take...eat of it...this is my body; take...drink...this is my blood....do this in memory of me." In a special way today, we do remember all that Jesus did for us, all that He left us (His word, the Church, & the Sacraments - especially His true presence in the Eucharist), and all that He taught and commanded us to do. When we receive the Lord in "communion" we are reaffirming our discipleship that we first committed to at our baptism. The Blessed Sacrament is one way that Christ fulfills His promise to be with us always and give us the nourishment & Grace so that we can fulfill our promise to live our life in Him. As we are fed with the Body and Blood of Christ we should be inspired and motivated to be Christ-like to others. That means we are to share what we receive so that all may be fed. Aware of this, at first we may think of our responsibility as a Christian to help those who lack food and drink; but we are also called, as a disciple, to nurture the lonely, the immigrant, the young or elderly, the spiritually poor, those dealing with addiction, and the list goes on and on. What a blessing for us who are privileged to partake of the one bread and the one cup to have the opportunity to share what God has given to us with those we encounter each day. "O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine."
Peace, Fr. Nick
Farewell Reverend Nicholas Dudo Join us for a farewell celebration for our Pastor, Fr. Nick. We will celebrate our Pastor on his new Assignment on July 9 from 12:30-3:30PM at the ARCS Cafeteria.

Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
(Corpus Christi) “Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” 1 CORINTHIANS 10:17 As disciples of Jesus, we are called to lead holy lives and invite others to join us. Living a Stewardship lifestyle, being grateful and generous with our gifts, serves a twofold purpose. One, it helps build God’s kingdom here on earth. Two, it is a road map to Heaven. Let’s help each other get there!
BREVE COMENTARIO A LA LITURGIA DE HOY
CORPUS CHRISTI Otro nombre extraño aparece ante nuestros ojos y oídos el día de hoy. Corpus Christi es una ciudad al Sur de Texas, debemos elogiar a quienes le escogieron este nombre tan religioso. Pero para la Iglesia se refiere a la celebración especial que se celebra cada año para enfatizar el Sacramento de la Santísima Eucaristía. No es que la Iglesia celebre esto una sola vez al año, puesto que todos los demás días también celebramos la Eucaristía.
Un dogma central para nuestra fe: el pan deja de se serlo, para convertirse en Pan; el vino deja de serlo para convertirse en Vino. La presencia de Jesucristo en estas dos especies se hace real y substancial; ahora son Especies Sacramentales: su Cuerpo y su Sangre forman parte de quien lo recibe.
Ahora, nosotros respondemos con fe a estas afirmaciones de la presencia real de Nuestro Señor. Cualquier falta de respeto hacia la Eucaristía no es que sea cosa de maldad, sino ignorancia de que verdaderamente Cristo está presente ahí en el Sacramento. Podemos hacer oraciones preparatorias para antes de comulgar (que tenemos muchas hojitas de ellas en Español como ayuda). En lugar de ponernos a platicar con las otros, sería bueno platicar con la Persona a la que queremos recibir, mientras esperamos a que comience la Misa. Podemos mostrar exteriormente la reverencia que ya interiormente observamos: Caminar hacia la comunión respetuosamente, con una actitud devota que se note al recibir la hostia consagrada
The St. Vincent de Paul Society would like to thank all the parishioners of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish for your generous contributions to our recent parish collection.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Beginning June 19 ending on Feast Day June 27
Oh Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke your powerful name, the protection of the living and the salvation of the dying. Purest Mary, let your name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not,
blessed Lady, to rescue me whenever I call on you. In my temptations, in my needs, I
will never cease to call on you, ever repeating your sacred name, Mary, Mary.
What a consolation, what sweetness, what confidence fills my soul when I utter your sacred name or even only think of you! I thank the Lord for having given you so sweet, so powerful, so lovely a name. But I will not be content with merely uttering your name. Let my love for you, prompt me ever to hail you Mother of Perpetual Help. Mother of Perpetual Help, pray for me and grant me the favor I confidently ask of you.
