Sunday 9th August 2009

 

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

 

Jesus said to the crowd: ‘I am the bread of life. And the bread that I shall give is my flesh for the life of the world’. By far the most extraordinary gift that God has given to his people is the Eucharist. In it we are invited constantly to receive the Body and Blood of Christ as our nourishment for the journey of life. In it we celebrate the salvation of the world and renew that salvation every time we celebrate it. This week is a time to reflect on our appreciation of this wonderful gift and renew our enthusiasm for it. Because it is so accessible we can get used to it and take it for granted and we can lose the joy of our celebration. In the Eucharist God speaks most clearly of the extent of his love and how special each of us is to him. To live as a people of the Eucharist we need also speak clearly of our love for one another in our homes and in our parish community.

 

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
