The Most Holy Body
and Blood of Christ
May 29, 2016
Silver and Gold
What I Have I Give to You (Acts 3:6)
Greetings in the Lord!
We rejoice this weekend at the graduation of Notre Dame School’s eighth-grade class,
congratulating them and their families for the work and sacrifice that has brought them to
this glad celebration. We especially thank our principal, Mr. Marlin Marcum, his teaching
and administrative staff, and our school president, Mr. Mark Hoffman, for all their
attention and care. May God bless them richly!
On this Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Corpus Christi, we recall that at one
time Christians perceived the Eucharist with such reverential awe that they would travel
from altar to altar and simply gaze at the consecrated host, praying and asking favors of
God but neglecting to receive or become the Body of Christ. Yet merely meditating on
the Eucharist is not enough. As we see in today’s Gospel, Jesus intends that His
disciples nourish the people, not just stand in awe of His miracles.
The crowds gathered throughout the day, and Jesus healed “all those who were in need
of healing.” The needy always gather in the Lord’s presence, longing to encounter God’s
healing. That healing is found in the Word proclaimed and heard, but there is yet more
nourishment to give and receive. The disciples are in awe of Jesus’ miracles, but that’s
not enough for the Lord. As the hour grows late the disciples, feeling inadequate to feed
so many, ask Jesus to dismiss the crowd so they can care for themselves. But Jesus,
knowing the need, intends to meet that need – and so must the disciples – and pastors,
and deacons, and each of the baptized!
Jesus challenges, “Why do you not give them something to eat yourselves?” The
disciples are not ready for this – they know the greatness of the people’s need and the
scarcity of their resources to fulfill them. Every pastor, every deacon, every parent feels
this scarcity – our own talents and gifts are insufficient to satisfy such great need! Yet
Jesus’ question moves the disciples to count their blessings: five loaves and two fish.
The Christian assembly always must take stock of both the need and the available gifts,
recognizing that in remembrance of Jesus we must first listen to His Word and feel its
healing power, then bring our gifts (bread, wine, time, talent, treasure) and place them at
Jesus’ disposal so He can do what He did with the five loaves and two fish: bless them,
break them, and give them to the disciples to distribute to the assembly and the world.
Amazingly, there is abundance, enough to feed all with basketfuls left over. We cannot
simply gaze on the Eucharistic Presence nor just possess Jesus; we must receive Him,
then become His presence.
May this great gift of the Eucharist, of Jesus Himself, be for us at Notre Dame Catholic
Church and School the very source and summit of our spiritual life!
In Jesus,
Fr. Mike

El Cuerpo y la Sangre
de Cristo (Corpus Christi)
29 de mayo de 2016
Oro y Plata
Lo Que Tengo Te Lo Doy (Hechos 3:6)
¡Saludos en el Señor!
Nos regocijamos este fin de semana por la graduación de los alumnos del octavo grado de
la Escuela de Notre Dame, los felicitamos a ellos y a sus familias por el trabajo y el
sacrificio que les ha llevado a esta feliz celebración. Agradecemos especialmente a nuestro
director, el Sr. Marlin Marcum, su personal docente y administrativo, y al presidente de la
escuela, el Sr. Mark Hoffman, por toda su atención y cuidado. ¡Que Dios los bendiga
abundantemente!
En esta Solemnidad del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, Corpus Christi, recordamos que en
algún momento los Cristianos percibieron la Eucaristía con tal temor reverencial que
viajaban de altar en altar, para observar simplemente, la hostia consagrada, orar y pedir
favores a Dios, dejando de recibir o de convertirse en el Cuerpo de Cristo. Sin embargo,
meditar sobre la Eucaristía no es suficiente. Como vemos en el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús
tiene la intención de que sus discípulos alimenten a las personas, y no sólo tener el temor
de sus milagros.
Las multitudes se reunieron durante todo el día, y Jesús sanó "a todos los que estaban en
necesidad de curación." Los necesitados siempre se reúnen en la Presencia del Señor, con
el anhelo de encontrar la sanación de Dios. Esa sanación también se encuentra en la
Palabra proclamada y escuchada, pero hay todavía más alimento para dar y recibir. Los
discípulos están en el temor de los milagros de Jesús, pero eso no es suficiente para el
Señor. Viendo que se hace tarde los discípulos, se sienten impotentes para alimentar a
tantos, le piden a Jesús que despida a la multitud para que ellos puedan cuidar de sí
mismos. Pero Jesús, conociendo la necesidad, tiene la intención de satisfacer esa
necesidad - ¡y así también, los discípulos - y pastores y diáconos, y cada uno de los
bautizados!
Jesús los desafía: "¿Por qué no les dan ustedes de comer?" Los discípulos no están
preparados para esto - que conocen la grandeza de la necesidad del pueblo y la escasez
de sus recursos para cumplir con ella. Cada pastor, cada diácono, cada padre siente esta
escasez - ¡nuestros propios talentos y dones son insuficientes para satisfacer tanta
necesidad! Sin embargo, la pregunta de Jesús a los discípulos mueve a contar sus
bendiciones: cinco panes y dos peces. La asamblea Cristiana siempre se debe hacer un
balance de la necesidad y los dones disponibles, reconociendo que en recuerdo de Jesús
debemos primero escuchar su palabra y sentir su poder curativo, después, llevar nuestros
dones (pan, vino, tiempo, talentos) y ponerlos a disposición de Jesús para que Él pueda
hacer lo que hizo con los cinco panes y los dos peces: bendecirlos, partirlos, y dárselos a
los discípulos para que los den a la asamblea y al mundo. Sorprendentemente, hay
abundancia, suficiente para alimentar a todos con cestas de sobra. No podemos
contemplar la Presencia Eucarística ni tampoco sólo poseer a Jesús; debemos recibirlo, y
después, volvernos su Presencia.

~~~The Face of Mercy
(Misericordiae Vultus)~~~
from Francis, Bishop of Rome
(Article 14 continued\) “To succeed at
this we must take seriously Jesus’’ teaching:
‘Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn
not, and you will not be condemned; forgive,
and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be
given to you; good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, running over, will be put into
your lap. For the measure you give will be the
measure you get back.’”
Misericordes sicut Pater! (Be merciful,
just as your Father is merciful – Luke 6:36)

Francisco, Obispo de Roma
(Artículo 14, continuación...) "Para tener
éxito en esto hay que tomar en serio" las
enseñanzas de Jesús: "No juzguéis y no seréis
juzgados, no condenéis y no seréis
condenados; perdonad y seréis perdonados.
Dad y se os dará; una medida buena, apretada,
rebosante. Porque con la medida con que
midáis se os medirá."
"Misericordes sicut Pater! (Sed, pues,
misericordiosos, como también vuestro Padre es
misericordioso – San Lucas 6:36)"

FIRST SUNDAY FELLOWSHIP
The Welcoming Committee reminds us all that
we are invited to food and fellowship in the
Social Center after the Sunday morning Masses
next Sunday, June 5th. Come enjoy each
other’s company and meet our newcomers and
visitors. All are welcome!
St. Therese of Lisieux is the patroness of missionaries
although she never left her convent. She died at the
early age of 24, yet accomplished great things through
the power of prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. The church made her the patroness of missionaries to emphasize this most important truth: One soul
coming before the Blessed Sacrament can change the
world! St. Therese said, “My mission is to make God
loved.” May she intercede for us in spreading Eucharistic Adoration throughout the world!
An adorer is needed for:
Tuesday 4:00 p.m.—5:00 p.m.
CONVIVENCIA DEL
PRIMER DOMINGO
El Comité de Bienvenida nos recuerda que
estamos invitados a comer y a convivir en el
Centro Social, después de cada Santa Misa de
la mañana el próximo domingo 5 de junio.
Vengan a disfrutar de la compañía de otros y
conozcan a los feligreses recién llegados y
visitantes. ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
The Women of Notre Dame are currently
accepting Father’s Day Memorials. A special
Memorial Mass will be said on Sunday, June 26, 2016
at the 11:00 a.m. Mass; names will be published in the
weekly bulletin. Envelopes for donations are located in
the back of the church in the narthex. Donations may
be placed in the collection basket or dropped off at the
Pastoral Center. Deadline for intentions is Sunday,
June 19, 2016.
If you are able to help with this time, please call
Estela Solis at (830)896-4217 or Veronica Fabro at
(830)377-9117.
Santa Teresita de Lisieux es la Patrona de los
Misioneros, aunque nunca abandonó su convento. Ella
murió a la temprana edad de 24 años, sin embargo, logró
grandes cosas a través del poder de la oración ante
Jesús Sacramentado. La Iglesia la nombró Patrona de
los Misioneros, para enfatizar esta importantisima verdad:
¡Un alma que viene ante el Santisimo Sacramento puede
cambiar el mundo! Santa Teresita dijo, “Mi misión es que
Dios sea amado”. ¡Que ella interceda por nosotros en la
difusión de la Adoración Eucaristica en todo el mundo!
Tambíen es necesario un adorador los:
martes 4:00 p.m.—5:00 p.m.
Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento,
por favor llame a Estela Solis al (830)896-4217 o Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

PRIEST PENSION—
Second Collection June 4 & 5, 2016
The Priest Pension Plan is integral to ensuring that our
priests who have reached the age of retirement may
lead lives of simple dignity and honor by being able to
afford to pay essential costs for their housing, utilities,
meals and rising health expenses in the final years of
their lives.
Thank you for your help with this collection; please be
generous.
El Comité de decoración y arte ha sido comisionado
para asistir a la iglesia a través de muchos tipos de
decoraciones. Siempre están agradecidos con los que
ayuda proporcionándolos, lo que, a veces, pueden
ser muy costosos. Y así, le damos las gracias a Sue
Graham por donar tres plantas de bromelias rojas
para decorar la iglesia en Pentecostés, donadas en
memoria por la primera comunión de su difunto
marido, Bill. Gracias también a Janet Welty,
Merrilee Williams, y de nuevo a Sue Graham por
donar arreglos para el Triduo Pascual, en memoria
de sus difuntos maridos.

vida digna y poder pagar sus gastos esenciales de su
vivienda, servicios públicos, comidas y el aumento de
los gastos de salud en los últimos años de sus vidas.
Gracias por su ayuda en esta colecta; Por favor, sean
generosos.
VINNIE ON BROADWAY’S
NOTES FROM THE HEART
The volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul on Broadway
would like to share with you our work that your
donations and thrift shop support make possible while
keeping confidential the identities of our brothers and
sisters in need.
We are having a lot of travelers passing
through. Though we like to show hospitality, we are
cautious to not fund someone's Folk Festival
experience. A woman of mature years was camping in
the woods. She asked for a baby stroller to carry her
stuff. We had one. The next day she came back with
her son who had WALKED from Dallas to be with
her. His employer had not paid him that month. They
had a tent and a tarp. We gave them 4 nights in a
campground. You know that week it rained and
hailed? Yep! A couple of us went the next day to offer
dry blankets. We couldn't find them.
Not finding work in the area, a young man came to us
for a store voucher for 2 suitcases in which to put his
worldly possessions. We had two huge ones that
airlines will no longer take. He went to wherever he
was staying and packed up. He then came back
loaded down asking for a bus ticket to Austin where
hopefully work awaited. A store customer, overhearing
this, offered to drive him to the bus station. We pray
he is able to support himself.
Reception received a good disinfecting recently. We
helped a traveler pay his towing. He had been in a
wreck and figured he could fix the car for less than his
insurance deductible. He also mentioned he had HEPC. Fortunately, he did not appear to have open
wounds.
WISH LIST:
We received 2000 lbs. of canned goods curtesy of the
Postal Carrier's Food Drive. Want to help put it
away? Remember the Mobile Food Pantry event June

BooksToBorrow
from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the
narthex of the church, near the bell tower door, currently
featuring books newly added to our library. After a long
delay, we are finally accessioning books from Rob Leahy’s
library. A new parishioner, Richard Cort, tells us about
Raids on the Unspeakable, by Thomas Merton.
I had difficulty with this book, very possibly
because I haven’t read enough Merton, and I’m not
familiar enough with the rambling nature of his
writing. But I found parts of the book almost
incoherent, at least for me personally. But having
said that, this book contains one of the most
interesting – and thought-inspiring – chapters that
I’ve come across in a long while.
Maybe it even starts earlier on page 31, when
Merton reveals the purpose of this book by saying:
“The question of this book, the deeper question, is
the very nature of reality itself.”
And then on pages 45-49 – in the chapter entitled
“A Devout Meditation in Memory of Adolf Eichmann”
– he gets into a fascinating discussion about what
exactly is reality, and what does the word “sanity”
really mean. What happens when people, who
function seemingly coherently within the strictures
of their society, suddenly start committing barbaric
acts such as those committed during World War II.
Are these people sane? Or are they insane? Is there
even a label for them that makes sense, or are we
seeing something really evil manifesting itself before
our eyes? And how can we apply what we learn
from this discussion to our modern world, where
some things that occur seem so extraordinarily
removed from what we would call “correct behavior”,
that we become speechless when trying to describe
what we are seeing. Maybe Merton sums it up in
this chapter when he says: “The whole concept of
sanity in a society where spiritual values have lost
their meaning, is itself meaningless.” And in doing
that, Merton also gives the answer to the question of
how we fix situations lik this. The answer is simply
to worry less about labeling things sane or insane,
and to ensure that our society reflects the timehonored
spiritual
values
that
have
been
characteristics of successful cultures over the
millennia.
And because of that one short chapter – and the
fact that I’m still thinking about it months after I
first read it – I’m very glad that you gave me this
book to read.
