ADORATION OF
THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.
The Eucharist involves more than just receiving; it also
involves satisfying the hunger of Christ. He says, “Come
to Me”. He is hungry for souls. Please come to Eucharistic
Adoration every Thursday following Mass until 11 am at
the Chapel; Mondays from 6:30-7:30 pm and Thursdays
6-7 pm at the Bethel Rd. Church.
Flowers for the Altar this Weekend are a Gift
from Jean & John Ward
in Loving Memory of
Rasie Ward, Wonderful Husband & Father
Anyone interested in finding out more about the
Catholic Faith, call the church office at 817-5969585 to add your name to the list for the Fall
Session of RCIA (Rite of Cristian Initiation for

CORPUS CHRISTI
Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ
(Corpus Christi)
Week of June 22, 2014
Scripture Reflections: Dt 8:2-3, 14-16; 1 Cor 10:16-17; John 6:51-58. How blessed we are! The
manna sustained the Israelites during their early journey, but Jesus’ bread of life sustains us for eternal
life. The manna came from heaven down to earth, but the bread of life comes from the earth and lifts
us up to heaven. The manna reminded the people of the Lord, but the bread of life is the Lord. So when
you receive Communion today, remember who you are receiving and what he did for you—and don’t
forget it for the rest of the day! Remembering will help you stay focused on your eternal heritage. It will
help you obey God’s commands. And most important, it will convince you that nothing can separate
you from the love of God! “Jesus, help me to remember your love today and every day.”

Next week our diocese will take up the PETER’S PENCE COLLECTION, which
provides the Holy Father with the funds he
needs to carry out his charitable works around
the world. The proceeds benefit the most disadvantaged: victims of war, oppression, and
disasters. Join our Holy Father as a witness of
charity to those who are suffering.
La próxima semana nuestra diócesis realizará
la COLECTA PETER’S PENCE, la cual le
proporciona al Santo Padre los fondos necesarios para realizar sus obras de caridad en todo
el mundo. Lo recaudado en la Colecta beneficia a los más desfavorecidos: a las víctimas de
la guerra, de la opresión y de desastres. Únase
a nuestro Santo Padre como un testigo de la
caridad para los que sufren.
