The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

It is no wonder that followers of Christ are called the Body of Christ. After all, sharing in the same spiritual food and sacred meal, they become 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. [God’s presence] 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 Eucharistic 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 intentionally put into practice the Beati-tudes that the Divine Guest has revealed. 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 others 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

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH PART ONE: THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

Section Two: THE CREEDS Chapter One: I BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER

Article One: “I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth”

Paragraph Three: The Almighty

The mystery of God's apparent powerlessness

Faith in God the Father Almighty can be put to the test by the experience of evil and suffering. God can sometimes seem to be absent and incapable of stopping evil. But in the most mysterious way God the Father has revealed his almighty power in the voluntary humiliation and Resurrection of his Son, by which he conquered evil. Christ crucified is thus "the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God

is stronger than men." It is in Christ's Resurrection and exaltation that the Father has shown forth "the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe" Catechism of the Catholic Church, § 272.

LITURGICAL EVENTS & NEWS

A Message from Most Rev. Mark

Brennan, Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston

DISPENSATION FROM THE OBLIGATION TO ATTEND MASS

While no member of the Faithful is bound to attend Mass where

impossibility arises, West Virginia borders a number of dioceses in

which Masses are still being publicly celebrated, and many of our

Faithful are easily able to attend those Masses. Owing to the grave

nature of the current public health crisis, and not wishing that an of

our flock be compelled to place themselves unnecessarily at risk, I

hereby dispense all those who reside within the territory of the

Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston from their obligation to attend

Mass. The intention of this dispensation, along with the suspension

of public liturgies in the Diocese, is to encourage the Faithful to

practice “social distancing” and “self-quarantine” to the extent that

their state of life permits, by which we hope to contribute to the

containment and end of the current pandemic.

ST. AGNES NEWS

Office hours are weekdays from 12:00pm-2:00pm.

guidelines to prioritize everyone’s health and safety. You will find the Bishop’s letter and our reopening

guidelines on our parish website.

LA ECONOMÍA SACRAMENTAL

CAPÍTULO PRIMERO: EL MISTERIO

PASCUAL EN EL TIEMPO DE LA IGLESIA

ARTÍCULO 2: EL MISTERIO PASCUAL

EN LOS SACRAMENTOS DE LA IGLESIA

III. Sacramentos de la fe

Cristo envió a sus Apóstoles para que, "en su Nombre, proclamasen a todas las naciones la conversión para el perdón de los pecados" (Lc 24,47). "Haced discípulos de todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo" (Mt 28,19). La misión de bautizar, por tanto la misión sacramental, está implicada en la misión de evangelizar, porque el sacramento es preparado por la Palabra de Dios y por la fe que es consentimiento a esta Palabra:

«El pueblo de Dios se reúne, sobre todo, por la palabra de Dios vivo [...] Necesita la predicación de la palabra para el ministerio mismo de los sacramentos. En efecto, son sacramentos de la fe

que nace y se alimenta de la palabra» (PO 4).

Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, § 1122.

San Romualdo, Abad

(19 de June)

La muerte de un pariente suyo a manos de su propio padre durante un duelo, hizo que el joven escapase horrorizado, y se internase en un monasterio cercano, donde permaneció

por tres años en la más absoluta austeridad y fervor. Luego, el santo permaneció por años en compañía de un santo ermitaño, quien veló por la total conversión y formación de San Romualdo, de manera que éste pudiese predicar con ardor y corazón a Jesús. Justamente, el anuncio del evanglio fue uno de sus más grande sueños, y contando con el permiso del Papa, decidió partir a Hugría para iniciar su misión evangelizadora. Sin embargo, una terrible enferme-dad impidió su viaje, y San Romualdo, que siempre estuvo atento a las señales de Dios, se dio cuenta que el Padre Celestial no lo quería para esa misión. Por treinta años, el santo fundó numerosas ermitas y monasterio por toda Italia. El monaterio más famosos del santo es el de Camáldoli, fundado por él alrededor del año 1012, y donde impuso reglas aún más severas que la de San Benito, dando inicio a una nueva congregación llamada Camaldulense, en la cual unió la vida cenbítica con la eremítica. [La] muerte lo sorprendió mientras estaba visitando la región de Val-di-Castro, falleciendo el 19 de junio de 1027. beatificado. Fue proclamado doctor de la Iglesia en el año 1946.
