FOOD FROM HEAVEN

God sustained the people of Israel for forty years in the desert with manna sent down from heaven, and Moses doesn’t want them to forget it. God brought forth water from stone for them to drink, and Moses doesn’t want them to forget this, either. And Moses tells them—twice—that the food that God sent was a food that neither they nor their ancestors before them had ever experienced before. Jesus too speaks of food come down from heaven, food that the Jewish people had never experienced before. Recalling the manna in the desert, Jesus doesn’t want them to forget it either, explaining that he is the food and drink of eternal life. And Paul reiterates to the Co-rinthians and to all of us that in the bread and in the cup, we share in the body and blood of Christ. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ALIMENTO CELESTIAL Dios sostentó al pueblo de Israel por cua-renta años en el desierto con maná venido del cielo, y Moisés no quiere que lo olviden. Dios hizo brotar agua de la roca para que bebieran, y Moisés tampoco quiere que olviden esto. Y Moisés se lo dice –dos veces—que el alimen-to que Dios envió era comida que ni ellos ni sus antepasados jamás habían probado antes. Jesús, también habla del pan venido del cielo, comida que el pueblo judío jamás había probado antes. Recordando el maná del de-sierto, Jesús tampoco quiere que ellos lo olvi-den, explicándoles que él es pan y bebida para la vida eterna. Y Pablo les reitera a los corin-tios y a todos nosotros que en el pan y en la copa participamos en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SACRED HEART OF JESUS &

IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY The Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a solemnity in the Roman Catho-lic Church and is celebrated nineteen days after Pentecost. Since Pentecost is always celebrated on Sunday, the Feast of the Sacred Heart will be on a Friday

June 19th. The Alliance of the Heart of Jesus and Mary is based on the joint devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is celebrated on the Saturday after the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, June 20th. http://lordcalls.com/dailyprayer/prayer-to-the-two-hearts-of-jesus-and-mary

PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS & IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

Sacred Heart of Jesus & Immaculate Heart of Mary, I Consecrate my entire self

to the Most Holy Love of Your Two Hearts. I wish to make reparation

for all of the sins of the world including my own. I offer these things for the love of the Hearts of JESUS &

MARY. I will keep my mind on beauty and turn my thoughts

from evil things. I will not show off, but remain humble.

I will offer up all of my sufferings, sickness and hurts. I will seek God’s Will and not my own. I will show appreciation for kindness,

the blessings that I receive and God for all things. I will do everything in my life for love of God.

I will love others as God has loved me. O Sacred Heart of Jesus,

through the Intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, receive the offering and consecration

I now make of myself to you. Keep me faithful unto death.

Bring me one day to the Happy Home in Heaven. I desire to live forever with God the Father and the Most Holy Spirit and You my Jesus,

together with Your Most Immaculate Mother. AMEN

Administrators, Teachers and Students Summer 2020 Begins June 21st

Lord, what about you and me?

I do not want to forget you just because

I am off my normal school-year routine. Keep close to me, Lord,

and remind me that my relationship with you should never take a break.

—Prayer taken from Christianity Today

Have a wonderful and safe well-deserved Summer vacation.

We especially pray every Wednesday after the evening Mass during the Novena of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. Let us pray also for those whom God has called home recently. As we mourn their passing, let us rejoice at their birth to eternal life. Please Note: This list will be updated June 30th and every 90 days thereafter. We ask that you contact the Parish Office at 722-1231 if you would like for the name of your family member to remain on the “Pray for the Sick” list.
