    Scripture

    This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you (Exodus 24:8b)

    The cup of salvation I will take up, (Psalm 116:13)

    For this reason he is mediator of a new covenant (Hebrews 9:15)

    "Take it; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.(Mark 14:22,23)

    Reflection

    What is the covenant of the Eucharist?

    How is Jesus the mediator between God and human?

    How do you model Jesus to those who do not believe?

    In consuming Jesus in the Eucharist do you become His mission?

    No matter how enlightened one may be by the light of the natural and acquired knowledge, he cannot enter intohimself to delight within himself in the Lord (Ps. 36:4) unless Christ be his mediator, who says: I am the door. Ifanyone enters through me, he will be saved; (John 10:9) and he will go in and out and will find paradise. But wedo not draw near to this door unless we believe in him, hope in him and love him. Therefore, if we wish to enteragain into the enjoyment of Truth as paradise, we must enter through faith in, hope in and love of Jesus Christ,(1Tim. 2:5) the mediator of God and men, who is like the tree of life in the middle of paradise. (St. BonaventureThe Souls Journey into God)1

    The Feast of Corpus Christi, or the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (as it is often called today), goes back to the 13th century, but it celebrates sothing far older: the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion at the Last Supper. While Holy Thursday is also a celebration of this mystery, theemn nature ofHoly Week, and the focus on Christ's Passion on Good Friday, overshadows that aspect of Holy Thursday. In 1246, Bishop Robert de Thoof the Belgina diocese of Lige, at the suggestion of St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon (also in Belgium), convened a synod and instituted the celebration offeast. From Lige, the celebration began to spread, and, on September 8, 1264, Pope Urban IV issued the papal bull "Transiturus," which established the Fof Corpus Christi as a universal feast of the Church, to be celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday.

    At the request of Pope Urban IV, St. Thomas Aquinas composed the office (the official prayers of the Church) for the feast. This office is widely conered one of the most beautiful in the traditional Roman Breviary (the official prayer book of the Divine Office or Liturgy of the Hours), and it is the sourcthe famous Eucharistic hymns "Pange Lingua Gloriosi" and "Tantum Ergo Sacramentum."

    For centuries after the celebration was extended to the universal Church, the feast was also celebrated with a Eucharistic procession, in which the SaHost was carried throughout the town, accompanied by hymns and litanies. The faithful would venerate the Body of Christ as the procession passed brecent years, this practice has almost disappeared, though some parishes still hold a brief procession around the outside of the parish church.While the Feast of Corpus Christi is one of the ten Holy Days of Obligation in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, in some countries, including the UStates, the feast has been transferred to the following Sunday.

    How to Have Joy That Is Contagious. Written by Pete MillerThe Christian Principle of Joy is a Fruit of the Holy Spirit

    Joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness can be attained with a newly acquired object, a car, or clothing or aance, for example. A sunny day can make someone happy, or a bouquet of flowers. Usually happiness is a ressomething external. But joy is internal. It is not an emotion, but an inner appreciation and sense of satisfaction da spiritual reality.

    For every Christian, the number one desire should be to experience joy even in the face of negative circumstanceHebrews chapter 12, believers who are tempted to become weary or discouraged. They are urged to recall examof faith demonstrated by God's people who preceded them, taking into consideration all they endured and especremembering Jesus Christ. "let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run

    endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joywas set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of G

    esus believed God's promise in Psalm 16:10: "For You will not leave my soul in Sheol (the grave), nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption."elieved God would raise Him from death, and ultimately fulfill the remaining future prophecies concerning Him. He knew that his sacrifice would pavay for the nations to come to God. Therefore Jesus could have joy inside. He did not focus on the immediate circumstances, he looked to the future, hile suffering an agonizing death on the cross.

    aul brought the Word of God to Thessalonica. Some people gladly received the Word, but as Acts chapter 17 reveals, there was a group of legalistic Jewsere hostile. The resistance intensified to the point that the entire city was rioting and out of control. The situation was so tense that Paul and Silas had to the middle of the night.

    ater, Paul sent Timothy to check on the believers and was joyful to hear Timothy's positive report of their steadfastness. For what thanks can we render toor you, for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sake before our God. (1 Thessalonians 3:9) Even in the midst of chaos and opposition, the believers yful. And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit. (1 Thessalonians 1:6)

    ather than external things being the cause of joy, the Bible shows that spiritual realities produce joy in a believer. In Psalm 16:11, the Psalmist writes, "Inresence is fullness of joy."Being aware of God's presence in every situation produces joy. On the night of Jesus' arrest, at the last meal he shared withsciples. Jesus taught them to retain the Word of truth, and then said His joy would remain in them, and they would experience fullness of joy (John 15:11so comforted them: "You now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you."(John 16:22)etrieved from http://www.sharefaith.com

    The Vocation of a Chaplainriestly ministry to those serving in the military is a unique and special voca-on. The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA is the largest geographicaliocese in the country, and, within its bounds, those called to serve as chaplains

    must be prepared to undertake ministries as diverse as the regions they visit. As aacramental minister, the chaplain must bring Christ and the healing power of the

    Church to men and women serving in an endless range of stressful, dangerous andossible deadly circumstances. He must be prepared to transfer from parish min-try to ministry in a war zone at a moment's notice, and act as comforter to sol-iers and their families in a way few others will ever experience.

    Providing for the spiritual and sacramental needs of men and women in uniform is an essential task,nd priest chaplains are in higher demand now than ever before. Christ needs men to answer the call to

    he chaplaincy for the good of the Church, the country and the world.

    Who Is Eligible?Any young man with a college degree who shows signs of having a vocation to priestly ministry and canmeet the academic requirements for seminary training and the qualification for military service is eligibleo apply.

    that it brings. There is a great appreciation for the work you've done this year!Volunteers are special people. So, the theme that we have chosen this year makes much sense. Truer

    words were never spoken: "Volunteers make a world of difference!"
