POPE’S PRAYER INTENTION FOR JUNE: “That the world might grow in compassion.” Let us pray that each one of us might find consolation in a personal relationship with Jesus, and from His Heart, learn to have compassion on the world.
Thought for the Day – Corpus Christi
The moment of communion in Mass, when we eat the body of Christ and drink his blood, is the moment of greatest intimacy that can exist between Christ and us. However, we cannot be in communion with the Lord without being in communion with one another. As St Augustine used to remind the assembled congregation as he held up the Sacred Host: ‘See what you are and become what you see, the body of Christ’. That is the constant challenge of the Eucharist.
