Mission Statement We, the faith community of Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, devote ourselves to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ and continue his mission to bring all to a knowledge of and a union with the Father through teaching, sharing and living our faith. To this end we will strive: To know and love Christ through his Church, its sacraments, scripture, educational and social life; To recognize, encourage and utilize the unique God-given gifts of all parishioners; To recognize and demonstrate our affection and care for all others through our fellowship and outreach
efforts; To labor in building up our local church with the Bishop of Raleigh and the Conventual Franciscan Friars of
the Immaculate Conception Province. To deepen our bonds with one another and to grow our community through Stewardship efforts.
Stewardship Even though we are told that if we seek the Lord, we shall not
want, in the second reading St. Paul reminds us that, thus
blessed by the Lord, the good steward should “give thanks to
God the Father always and for everything in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ.” -See Ephesians 5:20

.THIS EUCHARISTIC FEAST Some things about human nature don’t change, even over the course of centuries. When we celebrate a holiday, we have a meal; when we celebrate a significant event, we have a feast. In today’s first reading, Lady Wisdom is setting a feast, a sign of celebrating the covenant that Israel has with God. Israel’s central remembrance of its saving Exodus covenant is the Passover meal. So it is natural—and not coincidental—that the Christian celebration of the new covenant sealed by the blood of Christ on the cross happens at a meal, our Eucharist, offered first by Jesus in the context of Passover remembrance. It is easy for us, sometimes, to forget the very long and rich religious and human origins of our eucharistic feasting on the bread and cup that are the Body and Blood of Jesus. Today, and for the next few Sundays that we hear the “Bread of Life” discourse from John, let us bring to mind the loving covenant that God makes with us, and be filled with great joy at this marvelous feast that we have come to attend! © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
