HIGH IN THE SKY & DOWN TO EARTH
On June 2nd, I was glad that I watched the local news & weather
in Michigan (the only news I’ve watched for more than five min-
utes for the past 10 weeks) because the always cheerful chief me-
teorologist at WSBT alerted viewers to the opportunity for seeing
the ISS (International Space Station) pass by in the western sky
later that night. I went out at 10:35 (ET), hoping that the mos-
quitos would leave me alone, and set my sights on the north edge
of the western horizon where the station was supposed to ap-
pear. At 10:39, the time it was supposed to be visible, I saw noth-
ing and thought I had gotten ET & CT mixed up. I was ready to
go back inside ahead of the feared mosquito assault when I raised
my gaze a bit higher and there it was, like a bright but unflicker-
ing star, moving fairly fast from north to south. It was an awe-
inspiring sight, particularly since the first brave crew of the Space
X capsule had just arrived at the station. My only regret is that I
failed to grab my binoculars before I headed out, although the
station might have disappeared before I could have located it
through those lenses.
Then it was back down to earth and news of looting and destruc-
tion, though thankfully not here in Homewood. (At least the local
news from South Bend no longer spends much more than two
minutes hitting people over the head with Covid panic.) Once
back here, I checked my e-mail here to find a message to all the
Vicariate VI pastors from Bishop Perry who wanted to be sure
that all the parishes in his region were safe—which they thank-
fully were. But being back down to earth wasn’t all bad. Last Sat-
urday afternoon I heard a bit of shouting and car horn honking
along Dixie Hwy. and looked out to see groups of folks on both
sides of the street holding up signs—some saying “Black lives
matter”, others “all lives matter”, and “no one free until all are
free.” No one was using rude gestures or shouting expletives, I
heard no one denouncing the police, no one was even stepping
on the grass in front of the rectory, and none of our faithful
Homewood police officers felt the need to get involved because
all was peaceful and respectful. The event went on for about two
hours and, when I looked outside the next morning, I was even
more impressed because there wasn’t a hint that anyone had
been there—no candy wrappers, water bottles or leftover signs to
be seen anywhere. People expressed their feelings in an inspiring
way, a genuinely American way.

Now I have to say that my demonstrating/protesting days ended with the Vietnam War; and eventually, when it was finally over, I felt guilty for marching downtown and passing out leaflets at O’Hare airport and along Harlem Ave. in front of the college seminary. Regardless of whether that war was right or wrong, it never occurred to me that al-though I might have been right in protesting the decisions of politi-cians or generals, my protests also wounded the young men—some younger, some older than me—who weren’t as privileged as I was to have a “ministry student” deferment. None of those men who were drafted—often just teenagers—went overseas eager to kill other young men, much less innocent civilians. For most, the only other choice was to sneak across the border to Canada.
Many decades later, when I visited The Wall in D.C. for the first time, I was fortunate enough to be there late on a chilly March night where I was literally all alone—fortunate partly because I didn’t feel the need to hide my tears as I scanned the names of the nearly 50,000 who per-ished in the war, including at least one of my high school classmates. And I flashed back to those days after the war when the survivors came home, not to parades of gratitude for their service, but some-times to taunts or derision from those, like me, who were fortunate enough to be spared the horrors they endured. So today, as much as protests or demonstrations—never violence or looting—are sometimes necessary for folks to express their hurt or anger or frustration, my own experiences of fifty years ago remind me of how important it is to also recognize the pain that can be caused, often quite unintentionally, to good people—like the 99% of police officers in our country and all those I’ve been privileged to know, whose only mission is to serve and protect.
And this is where “down to earth” meets “high in the sky.” Those demonstrators on Dixie Hwy. represented the best of humanity—expressing their feelings and hopes without, at least as far as I could see or hear, casting a wide net of condemnation over the vast majority of good men and women in law enforcement. That level of humanity raises us up to where those daring astronauts circle the earth, high above hatred or prejudice, the evils that hold us down to earth in such a destructive way when we have so much potential for soaring high above them. And on this Flag Day, our intrepid space travelers on the ISS also invite us to soar above the paralyzing fear of these days and the illusion that life can ever be free or risk or pain. If we continue to allow that fear to forever isolate us behind closed doors, we’ll always be stuck here on the ground, we’ll never be able to raise our eyes to the heavens.

THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
It is no wonder that followers of Christ are called the Body of Christ. Af-
ter all, sharing in the same spiritual food and sacred meal, they be-
come what they eat and reveal the Divine Image. There is so much
power for healing in the community of believers. Through the Eucharist,
Christ becomes as present in those who have partaken of his Body and
Blood as he has the elements themselves. The very presence of God
touches the depths of the human soul and visits a part of us that no
human being can ever hope to explore. We are God’s. The sacred Eu-
charistic meal is a celebration of intimacy, the reunion of two loves in
constant search of and longing for the other.
The community of believers receives the power and the presence to
touch and heal in the name of the One they have welcomed within. It is
now within their grasp to change the way life is lived and to more inten-
tionally put into practice the Beatitudes that the Divine Guest has re-
vealed. We are asked to be like Christ and work to create a world of
sufficiency, where the greed of some no longer creates the want of oth-
ers but where all of God’s children can find a home and a place at the
table of life. The One who makes a home within calls us to live a life
that transforms. We are changed ourselves and now become agents of
change for others. We are the Body of Christ. God is with us. We have
been nourished.
Sadly, many are afraid to try. We know what we are called to do, but we
struggle with feelings of doubt as to whether God really is the Way, the
Truth, and the Life. Do our systems have to change? Is it possible that
we somehow missed the mark when we put all of our social networks
in place and established the business of our lives? Perhaps we have to
radically rethink our approach and that can scare us. We might have to
give something up or change, and we don’t want to. As long as want,
injustice, division, prejudice, and scarcity still exit, there is tremendous
work for the Body of Christ. ©LPi

DO YOU REALLY NEED 10,000 STEPS A DAY?
You’ve probably heard the suggestion many times that you should
take 10,000 steps per day, but many people average far fewer.
If you’re finding yourself overwhelmed trying to reach your recom-
mended 10,000 steps per day, you may have reason to relax a lit-
tle. A new study found that for women over 60, taking 10,000
steps per day doesn’t increase their likelihood of living longer. In
fact, the benefits max out at 7,500 steps.
So what’s the magic number according to the study? Researchers
found that older women who took 4,400 steps per day, on aver-
age, were roughly 41% less likely to die over the next four years
compared to women who took just 2,700 steps. Mortality rates
continued to decrease with more steps before leveling at 7,500
steps.
―If taking 10,000 steps throughout your day seems unattainable,
you should reset your goal to a minimum of 4,400 steps,‖ Dr. Beth
Keefe, a physician at the Aurora Health Center in Hartland, WI,
suggests. ―This is a fairly modest number of steps per day and can
be reached by even those who are not very active.‖
Wondering how to increase your daily steps? Consider these ideas
for easily adding more walking into your normal routine:
Take a walk at lunch or during your assigned breaks
If you have a dog, take him or her for more walks
Walk in place while you’re on the phone instead of sitting
Get competitive and challenge a friend, family member or co-
worker to see who can complete more steps in a week.
While taking 4,400 steps is a great goal to get you started with be-
ing healthier, Dr. Keefe stresses the benefits that walking more
can have on other areas of your life.
―Walking more steps per day can help with weight loss and de-
creasing your body mass index,‖ Dr. Keefe explains. ―It can also
reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pres-
sure, especially when coupled with other healthy behaviors.‖
Dr. Keefe also recommends adding other forms of light exercise
into your weekly routine like gardening, swimming or biking.
―Ideally, you want to spend at least 150 minutes per week doing
moderate-intensity aerobic activities like brisk walking, yoga, danc-
ing or other light activities,‖ says Dr. Keefe. ―Don’t forget to also
add some muscle-strengthening activities into your routine like lift-
ing weights or doing push-ups.‖ Health eNews, 6/5/20

RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS
THE HEART OF STEWARDSHIP
What else is there to give when one
has already given away one’s body
and one’s life? What more can one
say or do to demonstrate love for an-
other when all one had has been
given to another? This total giving of
self to loved ones cannot be trumped
by flowery words or material gifts that
are fleeting. This is the ultimate in
love. This is the love Jesus had for us
on the way to his Passion, at the insti-
tution of the Holy Eucharist. This is
the love he has for us daily in the
celebration of the Mass on altars in
every church, in every city, in every
nation on earth. No one can give
more. No one can ask for more. This
is the true heart of Christian steward-
ship.
If you take the time to gaze upon your
God in the simplest of forms and be-
gin to reflect on what has actually
taken place with bread and wine be-
coming the presence of the Divine,
then you can begin to understand
true humility, sacrifice, and love. And
when you have the privilege to take
that Real Presence into your body at
the meal where you are an honored
guest, you become one with the One
who is the embodiment of steward-
ship.
Then, you must ask yourself, ―How
can I even begin to reflect the love
that I have encountered at this
feast?‖ The answer is you can begin
with the simple actions of the day:
where will you go, whom will you
meet, and in what work will you par-
take? Jesus Christ has shown that
the greatest gift ever given can be
disguised in this world in a piece of
bread. By joining your body to his, he
can now transform human hearts, not
by grand acts, but by everyday acts,
by everyday people, practicing Every-
day Stewardship.

MARY AND THE SAINTS
Why do Catholics pray to Mary and the saints?
One of the statements of faith we make when we pray
the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed is that we
believe in ―the communion of saints.‖ The Catechism of the Catholic Church
reminds us that this communion (another word for community) includes all
the faithful on earth, the souls in Purgatory, and the blessed women, men,
and children who are in heaven. This teaching is grounded in our belief
that, through Baptism, we are united with Christ and to one another with
bonds that are stronger even than death.
And so from the time of the early Church, Christians have turned to other
believers for prayers and assistance, including those who have gone before
us, confident that God hears the prayers of all of His children. While we ask
the saints (and one another) for prayers and support, we remember that the
saints join us in prayer. But it is God who blesses and sanctifies us.
When we think of Mary and the saints in heaven, we have to remember that
we can turn to them for intercession and assistance because they were
faulted, limited human beings, just like us. This means that they are able to
understand our struggles, doubts, fears, joys, and hopes. But as we learn
their stories, we can also begin to recognize that they stand out in the his-
tory of the Church because they persevered in their commitment to follow
Christ. Whether they were ordained, vowed religious, martyrs, husbands,
wives, or even children, they show us that holiness is possible. We can not
only follow their example but also benefit from their prayerful support.
Our devotion to the saints and gratitude for their witness, prayers, and pro-
tection should also be an inspiration for us, especially when we become
aware of the needs of others or when others ask us to pray for them. We
are called to share the blessings we receive. This is also part of our own
journey of growing in holiness.

Jesus says, ―I am the living bread.‖
BACKGROUND ON THE GOSPEL READING
This Sunday we celebrate a second solemnity during this period of Ordinary Time in the liturgical calendar.
Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. This day was once called Corpus Christi,
which is Latin for ―Body of Christ.‖ In the revised Lectionary the name for this day is expanded to reflect more
completely our Eucharistic theology.
Today’s Gospel is taken from the Gospel according to John. The reading is part of a discourse between Jesus
and a crowd of Jews. The discourse comes shortly after the miracle of Jesus’ multiplication of the loaves and
fishes. In John’s Gospel, miracles such as this are identified as ―signs‖ through which people come to believe
that Jesus is the Son of God. These signs are followed by dialogue, or discourse that interprets and explains
the miracle. In John’s Gospel, Jesus’ multiplication of the loaves is said to have occurred near Passover, thus
linking it to the Exodus story and God’s saving action toward the Israelites.
Having seen Jesus multiply the loaves and fishes, the crowd pursues him, perhaps seeking more food but
also looking for another sign. Jesus tells the crowd that he is the bread of life. He explains that just as God
gave the Israelites manna to sustain them in the desert, so now God has sent new manna that will give eter-
nal life. It is in this context that Jesus repeats those words in today’s Gospel and tells them again that he is
the living bread that came down from heaven.
Jesus’ words are not well understood by the crowd; they argue that Jesus is not from heaven but born of
Mary and Joseph. The crowd also has trouble understanding how Jesus could give them his flesh to eat. Je-
sus tells them that when they eat his flesh and drink his blood, they will remain forever connected to him.
These are difficult words, but they are important because they seek to show us our intimate connection with
Jesus.
This is the mystery that is at the heart of our Eucharistic theology. In the elements of bread and wine, Jesus’
Body and Blood are truly present. When we share in the Body and Blood of Christ, Jesus himself comes to
dwell within us. This communion with the Lord makes us one body, brings us eternal life, and sends us forth
to be Christ’s Body in the world.

Growing with the Gospel
Gospel Reading : John 6:51-58 Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: "I am the living bread that came down
from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I
will give is my flesh for the life of the world." The Jews quarreled among
themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus
said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the
Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever
eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on
the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever
eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the
living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the
one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that
came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died,
whoever eats this bread will live forever."
