Spiritual Communion:
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed
Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive
You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace
You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never
permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
St. Alphonsus Liguori
Third Sunday of Easter 1) Acts 2:14, 22-33 2) 1 Peter 1:17-21 3) Luke 24:13-35 FOCUS: Let us rejoice in the good news of salvation: Jesus is God’s promise fulfilled. The joy of the Easter season is still with us as we rejoice in the risen Christ. He is truly present to us in the celebration of the Mass. He is the promise fulfilled, and we are nourished with his Word, and his body and blood. Just like those on the road to Emmaus, we know him in the breaking of the bread. LITURGY OF THE WORD In the first reading, Peter proclaims to the Jews and all in Jerusalem that Jesus, commended to [them] by God, was also killed by them. But that God raised him up. Peter writes that all have been ransomed by the precious blood of Christ. In the Gospel, two disciples traveled from Jerusalem to Emmaus, discussing all that had happened. Jesus joined them, but they did not recognize him until they sat for a meal and he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.

Jesus reminds us that where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name, He is present. Right now it is so important for us to gather spiritually!
While we yearn to once again be present in person at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass & receive Jesus sacramentally, we have the great gifts of online Masses & praying a Spiritual Communion…
