Come celebrate your Wedding Anni-

versary with us here at Cristo Rey on

Saturday, August 25th at the 4:30PM

Mass. If you are celebrating an anni-

versary in increment of 5 years

ONLY (5, 10, 15, 20, etc.) in 2018,

and would like to participate in our celebration, please call

the Parish Office @ 983-8528. Leave your names, number of

years married and your phone number. There will be a light

reception following the Mass for the anniversary couples.

In this Sunday's Gospel, the conflict escalates in the Bread of Life

Discourse. Confusion is mounting in the crowd. "How can this

man give us his flesh to eat?" Their minds were thinking literally,

not mystically. Jesus doesn't seem to help, however, and only

drives his point home with more emphasis. "Unless you eat the

flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life

within you." Jesus would later institute the Eucharist at the Last

Supper. There he would definitively establish the sacramental

reality in which bread and wine become substantially his own

Body and Blood. We celebrate this sacrament in the Mass.

Perhaps we do not always understand what we receive. "My flesh

is true food, and my blood is true drink." What is the essence of

food and drink? Food nourishes our bodies, providing essential

calories for our survival. Water is used throughout the body to

cushion joints, regulate body temperature, and protect sensitive

tissues like the brain. When we receive the Eucharist, we receive

the spiritual equivalent of these essential elements. Like water,

the Eucharist strengthens the sanctifying grace moving through

us. "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me

and I in him." The Eucharist connects us intimately to Jesus and

confirms our union with him. That is why we abstain from the

Eucharist while in a state of mortal sin. It would be a contradic-

tion and deep disrespect to these words of Jesus. To receive the

Body and Blood of Jesus is not a right but a gift we receive with

deep humility. As we receive the Bread of Life, grace strengthens

our love, separates us from sin -- even wiping away venial sins --

unifies us with the universal Church, and helps commit us to

humble service. Together we are nourished for our mission in the

world!

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you for your prayers for the past few months. Your

intercessions has been a source of strength for me and I thank

God for the love that you show. In May, I decided to seek

treatment for alcoholism after a relapse into active addiction.

I have been staying at Guest House, a treatment center for

priests, deacons, and religious brothers and sisters, returning

to the road of recovery. I will share more of my story over the

weeks and months to come. May God bless you and may

Nuestra Señora de la Paz intercede for us along our journey

in faith.
