2017 CATHOLIC CHARITY APPEAL
“Faith and Good Works”
Parish Goal: $64,050
As of 6/8/2017, funds pledged or donated
$71,341.65!!!!!!!
Through the generosity of our parishioners, our parish has,
once again, attained its Catholic Charity Fund Appeal goal! Not only did we meet it, but we exceeded it. Thank you to all
the families who responded and stepped up to take this chal-
lenge. Together with prayer and by sharing our many gifts, we
can say we have made a difference.
ST. MICHAEL’S CHURCH GEORGIAVILLE, RI
"The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, 'How can
this man give us his flesh to eat?'" From the beginning, the
Eucharist has been a source of controversy. Some people have
always found the teaching difficult to accept. But as Catholics,
the Blessed Sacrament is at the heart of our worship and our
spirituality; we go to Mass to share in the holy sacrifice of Je-
sus' body and blood, and we receive spiritual nourishment from
partaking of this heavenly food. As Jesus himself tells us in
today's Gospel, "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me and I in him."
From this passage it is clear that Jesus intended the Eucharist
to be a tremendous gift for us, for "whoever eats this bread will
live forever." This of course is because the bread is Christ's
"flesh for the life of the world." In other words, just as he gave
his body on the cross to save us from our sins, so too this same
flesh is given for us at every Mass to strengthen our weakness
and unite us more deeply to our Savior.
Receiving Communion isn't like taking a magic pill, how-
ever. We must beware of reducing this sacrament to an empty
ritual or a foolproof guarantee of heaven. No, it is quite possible
to receive Communion unworthily and reject its spiritual effi-
cacy. Just like the benefits of a healthy meal can be undone by a
habit of binging on junk food, so too we can prevent holy Com-
munion from having its full benefits when we crowd our souls
with vices and sins. If, on the other hand, we wish to let this
sacrament of divine grace flourish, we should receive it with a
sincere spirit of gratitude and reverence, praying that we may be
made worthy to receive such a gift.
THE MOST HOLY
BODY AND
BLOOD OF
CHRIST
A PRAYER FOR FATHERS
God our Father, we give you thanks and praise
for fathers young and old.
We pray for young fathers,
Newly embracing their vocation:
May they find the courage and perseverance
to balance work, family and faith in joy and sacrifice.
We pray for our own fathers
Who have supported and challenged us;
May they continue to lead in strong and gentle ways.
We remember fathers around the world
whose children are lost or suffering;
May they know that the God of compassion walks
with them in their sorrow.
We pray for men who are not fathers but still mentor and
guide is with fatherly love and advice.
We remember fathers, grandfathers, and great-
grandfathers who are no long with us but who live forever
in our memory and nourish us with their love.
Amen
