The Holy Eucharist

Note: I will be at the Marist Youth Conference at Marist College today and tomorrow...there might not be a slice of Daily Bread on Sunday, the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ.  Time does not allow a very thick slice even for today.

Jesus left us the gift of his Body and Blood to feed us, to nourish us on our daily journey which ultimately leads to final and total union with him.  When we gather to receive this gift we are also fed by hearing the Word and by the presence of a community of believers.  Such is the compassionate care that Jesus has for us....the allow us in this manner to enjoy his presence as did the people who walked with him, listened to him and were even cured by him during his three years of public ministry.  May we thank him for this gift always, and take advantage of it as often as we can.  It's too good a gift to pass up!
