Finally, as we bless all our Fathers this weekend, we take the opportunity to see in St. Joseph the patron of all fathers, the example of what our fathers try to be. They are the providers. They are men of faith and courage. They are strong. They are blessed and we are blessed by them. Having lost my father last year, this Father’s Day is that much more meaningful as I ask God to, like many of you, take care of my Dad and ALL the other fathers with God until we meet again. For those who still have your fathers with you, hug them tightly. Tell them of your love, appreciation and admiration. Give them the respect every day and especially today because when they are gone, you will miss them.
May God bless us today and always!!

From the desk of your pastor, Fr. Andy Solemnity of the Most Precious Body and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ, Father’s Day AND, Thank you!!
June 18, 2017 The end of the Easter season happened over two
weeks ago with the Feast of Pentecost. Last weekend we celebrated the Most Holy Trinity of our God. We yet have one other special feast day this weekend of our Church in the celebration of what was once known as “Corpus Christi,” now, The Solemnity of the Most Precious Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.” This year too, we ALSO acknowledge and bless all fathers on this Father’s Day weekend. We have so much to celebrate!! Finally, this is another HUGE, “Thank you!” to all the people who made our FIESTAS 2017 such a great success.
First, it is good to spend some time reflecting on the important significance that Jesus’ gift of himself to us in the Eucharist truly has been over the life of our church. From that first celebration of the “Lord’s Supper,” on the night before he was handed over for our sins, he chose to sit with his followers, his disciples, the apostles and have a very special meal. These brothers and sisters (and yes, even though it does not say it in the scriptures, I believe there were brothers AND sisters at the Lord’s Supper) were given a tremendously special gift that we continue to share to this very day. Our gift of the Most Holy Eucharist is something that not all Christian communities believe like we do. IT is the very body and blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is the Real Presence of our God for us; we hold this gift very importantly.
When Jesus gave us a promise in John’s gospel today saying, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has life within them and I will raise them on the last day.” Jesus was promising us that our faith in this most special meal will give us life eternal. Unfortunately, we sometimes take this meal too much for granted and do not remember the importance, the sacrifices and the lives that were lost so that we could still have this most precious gift to share always.
Unfortunately, we also sometimes take for granted ALL the work that goes into our FIESTAS. Furthermore, that taking for granted can happen with the men God has given to us as our Fathers, Grandfathers, Godfathers and Father-figures all throughout our lives.
We had a most successful FIESTAS this year and to single out any one group, person or persons would be very tough AND I would most likely inadvertently forget someone. So, THANKS be to God for ALL the people who had a role in making our FIESTAS 2017 that great success.
TRUST IN JESUS Today’s feast celebrates another central mystery of our faith—the mystery of the Eucharist. Like the mystery of the Trinity, the real presence of the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist can never be fully understood, but can only be believed. Just as the Israelites in the desert were invited to put their trust in God’s word to them, we are invited to trust wholly in the word of Jesus. In today’s Gospel Jesus promises to give us a share in his very own flesh and blood, and a share in eternal life besides. We are called to take him at his word and open our hearts to receive true nourishment and life from our participation in the Eucharist.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION At the heart of today’s solemnity is a eucharistic procession, held in many parishes, that calls to mind the procession of Holy Thursday, yet has a purpose different from the somber adoration in the night watch. In the late Middle Ages, a procession through the city with the Blessed Sacrament was an occasion of heartfelt joy and great emotion. In a time when people seldom approached the altar to receive Holy Communion, the procession through the streets, past homes and workplaces, was a vibrant reminder that Christ was with them as a dear companion and guide. Every year on this day, a joyful procession winds through the streets of Rome from the Lateran cathedral. A few years ago, Pope John Paul II, deeply moved at the sight of the throng accompanying the sacred host, said that we ought to feel profoundly united with the faithful everywhere in the world at such a moment. “Before our mind’s eye all the Churches of the world, from East to West, from North to South, are present.” Originally this feast was on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, but after the calendar reform of 1970, its title was expanded from “Corpus Christi” to “The Body and Blood of Christ” and in the United States it was moved to the Sunday after Trinity Sunday. Even though Easter season ended two weeks ago, this beautiful feast is aglow with Easter light.

La fiesta de hoy celebra otro misterio central de nuestra fe: el misterio de la Eucaristía. Como el misterio de la Trinidad, la presencia real del Cuerpo y de la Sangre de Cristo en la Eucaristía nunca se puede entender completamente, sino que sólo se puede creer. Así como a los israelitas en el desierto se les invitó a poner su fe en la palabra de Dios dirigida a ellos, a nosotros se nos invita a confiar plenamente en las palabras de Jesús. En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús promete darnos una porción de su propia carne y sangre, y además compartir la vida eterna. Somos llamados a creer en su palabra y a abrir nuestro corazón para recibir verdadero alimento y vida por nuestra participación en la Eucaristía.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta celebración del Día de los Padres tuvo su origen en 1910, en los Estados Unidos de América. Aunque la práctica comenzó en 1910, no fue sino hasta 1972 que se fijó un día oficial para celebrar al papá. Poco a poco esta fecha del segundo domingo de junio se ha ido expandiendo al resto del mundo con algunas excepciones. En Italia por ejemplo, la fiesta del padre se celebra el 19 de marzo, día de san José. Durante la Revolución Industrial del siglo diecinueve, José, esposo de María recibió su primera fiesta oficial. La Iglesia, preocupada por el ingreso del padre a las fábricas, propuso a este santo varón como ejemplo de lo que los padres deben ser en la vida de sus hijos e hijas; ejemplos de fe, ternura y trabajo. Aún en nuestro tiempo, el Rito del Bautismo de Niños insiste que el padre, junto con la madre, deben ser los mayores maestros de sus hijos. Al igual que José, el papá debe cuidar y proteger a su familia, enseñarle a los niños a trabajar y ser honestos para el bien de la familia y la sociedad.
