My
Companions pray with me: We adore You and bless You for all Your glory... all the goodness of life. We confess our failures to serve and to become a member of Christ's Body in our interactions with others and with our world. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for all Your gracious gifts. And we ask for all we need to grow in love and service to all in Your name: we pray for renewed health for those on our list and we ask for Your perpetual light on those who have gone before us.
Birthdays Jim Frodl (6/19), Stephen Lay (6/19), Greg Serveiss (6/20), Andrew Kornacki (6/15); In memoriam: John Kilday (6/17/1972)
Keeping In-touch: We delighted in the grins and screeches of joy from Nathan on our Colorado River Raft Trip. Now we've returned home and work on the "honey-do" lists. And we're enjoying some mild, summer days with even a little moisture! We pray that our Companions-in-Prayer, likewise, enjoy some recreation.
The
Readings: Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)
Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments: How can we see the Body and the Blood of Christ in our celebration of Eucharist? Only with the eyes of faith: our belief in Jesus allows commitment, expectation, and knowledge of Him. We find God in all things. We are given this gift of unity in Holy Communion. "Lord, I am not worthy to receive You, only say the word and we shall be filled with Your life."

ReplyDeleteIt it with great sadness that I write you to ask you to remove Patricia Mayer's name from the prayer list.
She passed away about an hour ago after battling stage I breast cancer.

I have added Patricia to our prayers "For those who have gone before us..."
