“The Lord, our God, is with us always.”
Matthew 28:20

"El Señor, nuestro Dios, siempre está con nosotros".
Mateo 28:20
 

 
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
 
“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the clever you have revealed them to the little ones…Come to me all you who labor and are burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart...”
 
Jesus’ prayer of praise, directed to the Father, is for our benefit. I want to be considered a ‘little one’ and  grow in my knowledge and love of the Lord. He wishes to continue to reveal His goodness to me.
 
Surely most of us have learned to use new cell phones, iPads and computers. We learn to use new gadgets. May you take steps, especially during these summer months, to learn to be meek, humble of heart and live all the beatitudes - pure of heart, worker for justice, peacemaker and poor in spirit.

 

From Pope Francis:

"In these days of trial, as humanity trembles at the threat of the [coronavirus] pandemic, I would propose that all Christians join their voices together to heaven," 
 

It has been a Catholic undersanding that when circumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an Act of Spiritual Communion,  which is a source of grace. Spritual Communion is an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament and lovingly embrace him at a time or in circumstances when one cannot receive Him in Sacramental Communion. The most common reason for making an Act of Spritual Communion is when a person cannot attend Mass. Acts of Spritual Communion increase our desire to receive sacramental Communion and helps us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily.

My Jesus , I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive your sacramentally.

Come atleast spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there. 

And unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be seperated from you.

Amen.
