Reflection I give my flesh for the life of the world The promise of Jesus to give his flesh for the life of the world is the promise of someone who wants to give everything. Like the parent wanting to give everything - life, love, money, education, to the point when it hurts - Jesus wants to give himself, and the best way to do it now is to give his body. It's his way of saying I want to give everything. We know what he means when we love someone, and our giving meant it hurts ourselves. Where we suffer for another, we give our lives; where we suffer with another, we give our lives. Where we share the joy of another, we give our lives. What Jesus gives us, the bread and wine of his body and blood, is energy for growth, food for the journey nourishment for the community and we are, one and all, raised up, now and in the future. For this bread of strength, for this Eucharist of love, we give thanks. PARISH - BE A PART OF IT OR BE APART FROM IT **************** A MINUTE IN EVERY HOUR! AN HOUR IN EVERY DAY! A DAY IN EVERY WEEK ********** THE JOY RULE THINK OF JESUS THINK OF OTHERS THINK OF YOURSELF |
