"After Easter, the disciples come to know Jesus in the breaking of the bread. He is present among His followers as He was prior to His death and resurrection, but now; He is present in a new way. Of course, as Catholics, we see this clearly in the Eucharist, when we take bread, bless it, break it, and give it. The Bread broken is Christ Himself. He is our nourishment both spiritually and physically, metaphorically and actually. When we participate in the Eucharist, we call to mind His passion, death, and resurrection. We consume Him Who is the Bread of Life." ---- "Living Liturgy," Third Sunday of Easter 2020

In Sunday’s Gospel, as we hear the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we also come to know that our daily reaching out to our neighbor is our daily walk with the Risen Christ, we recognize Him in others. +++ This month, through your generous gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul brought the love and care of Jesus to the less fortunate in the form of food and helping with their utility and rent bills.

"Sing now in Gladness, gone, is all sadness. Christ the Lord is risen!" ++++++ Many the times I have told you that St. Benedict admonishes his monks that their lives are to be a perpetual LENT. And so, we find ourselves in what will be for the vast majority of us, a seemingly interminable Lent. ++++++ Denied the Sacraments (but in extremis) you have been called to surrender seemingly everything. With St. Peter you say, “Lord, we have given up everything...what shall be our return?” [Please click on the above title link to read further.]
