August 23 - 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time




August 23, 2015
Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

In today’s Gospel we focus once again on the Eucharist.  Jesus challenges His followers to believe and follow Him.  The consequences of their choice are far reaching.   Every time we choose to eat the Body and drink the Blood of the risen Christ, we witness to our choice to stay with Jesus and to believe in Him.  We can make this choice because, in the Eucharist, Jesus has chosen to stay with us, believe in us and give Himself to us.                                  – Deacon Jim
