LOVE

Your heart is a muscle, so exercise it by loving more.

HUMILITY

 Very humble work, that is where you and I must be. For there are many people who can do big things. But there are very few people who will do the small things.

WHERE OUR TRUE JOY LIES

“Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.”

But to join the banquet of the Lord, we need to turn away from other food. 

We spend our whole lives eating from troughs that 

never satisfy our hunger - wealth, power, pleasure, 

honor. 

But in John 6, Jesus invites us to feed on himself, Wisdom incarnate, the only food that will ultimately fulfill our hunger. 

- Fr. Robert Barro

COWARDICE

How is it, Lord, that we are cowards in everything save in opposing Thee?

WHY BREAD AND WINE?

Why did Our Blessed Lord use bread and wine as the

 elements of this Memorial? 

First of all, because no two substances in nature better symbolize unity than bread and wine. As bread is made from a multiplicity of grains of wheat, and wine is made from a multiplicity of grapes, so the many who believe are one in Christ. 

Second, no two substances in nature have to suffer more to become what they are than bread and wine. Wheat has to pass through the rigors of winter, be ground beneath the Calvary of a mill, and then subjected to purging fire before it can become bread. Grapes in their turn must be subjected to the Gethsemane of a wine press and have their life crushed from them to become wine. Thus, do they symbolize the Passion and Sufferings of Christ, and the condition of Salvation, for Our Lord said unless we die to ourselves we cannot live in Him. 

A third reason is that there are no two substances in nature which have more traditionally nourished man than bread and wine. In bringing these elements to the altar, men are equivalently bringing themselves. When bread and wine are taken or consumed, they are changed into man’s body and blood. But when He took bread and wine, He changed them into Himself.”
