19^th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.” (Psalm)  Do you recognize the presence of Christ in the Eucharist?  Jesus said, “I am the bread of life.”  Our Eucharistic feeding at the hand of Jesus, will nourish our souls while transforming us into a people who, like bread broken and shared, become images of Christ in our world.  We are to become the image of Jesus’ own self-sacrificing love.  “Almighty ever-living God, bring through your gift of the Eucharist, the spirit of adoption as your sons and daughters, destine to merit to enter into the inheritance you have promised.”     - Deacon Jim
