and join them to Christ, who offers the perfect sacrifice to the Father. It will be
from this church that Grace of the Sacrament will radiate for the building-up of
the kingdom and for the sanctification of souls. It will be at this church where
people will find nourishment and strength, communion and peace, unity and
friendship.” John Cardinal O’Connor.

THE MOST HOLY BODY & BLOOD OF CHRIST
(Corpus Christi)
First Reading: Exodus 24:3-8
Moses explained to the people the commandments he had
received from God. Upon hearing them, the entire
community immediately agreed they would do as God had
told them. Moses then sacrificed young bulls and sprinkled
the people with their blood, calling it the blood of the
covenant they had made.
Second Reading: Hebrews 9:11-15
Jesus did not offer God the blood of sacrifices, but instead
he offered up his own blood to cleanse all people of the
transgressions they had committed under the first covenant
with God. Christ instead brought a new covenant, which, if
kept, would lead to eternal life.
Gospel: Mark 14:12-16, 22-26
Jesus sent two of his disciples to prepare the Passover
supper. During the meal he blessed bread and offered it to
them saying, “This is my body.” He then offered them wine
and called it his blood, “the blood of the covenant, to be
poured out on behalf of many.”
On this solemn feast, on which we as
Catholics are reminded of the special
and real Presence of Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist, Mark helps us
set the scene. Those close to the Lord
are sent to make sure all is ready. One
man will lead them to another, whose
task it was to have the site ready to
receive Christ and celebrate the last
supper.
I am one of the two called to make
preparation to receive the Lord again in my life. I am reminded
how special it is. The Eucharist is a gift, the center of our faith.
Like the centurion I repeat the words ‘Lord I am not worthy…’ but I
should add, ‘make me worthy of so great a gift. Help me to devoutly prepare well for the reception of Your gift for me. Make my
faith strong to say I believe in your presence in this sacrament, and
welcome to my heart.’
Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus I also say “Stay with
us for it is almost evening… And He does!

SANTÍSIMA SANGRE Y CUERPO DE CRISTO
Primera Lectura: Exodo 24:3-8
Moisés explica a la gente los mandamientos que ha recibido
de Dios. Al escucharlos, inmediatamente la comunidad entera acuerda hacer lo que Dios ha dicho. Moisés entonces
sacrifica un toro joven y salpicó a la gente con su sangre,
llamándola la sangre del pacto que habían hecho.
Segunda Lectura: Hebreos 9:11-15
Jesús no le ofreció a Dios la sangre de sacrificios, sino que
ofreció su propia sangre para limpiar a las personas de las
trangresiones que habían cometido durante su primer pacto
con Dios. Cristo les trajo un nuevo pacto, el cual, si
cumplido, conduce a la vida eterna.
Evangelio: San Marcos 14:12-16, 22-26
Jesús envió a dos de sus discípulos a prepara la cena de la
Pascua. Durante la comida bendijo el pan y se los ofreció
diciendo “Este es mi cuerpo”. Luego les ofreció el vino y lo
llamó “la sangre con la que se confirma el pacto, la cual es
derramada en favor de muchos”.
En esta fiesta solemne, cuando a nosotros los católicos se nos recuerda la
real y especial presencia de Cristo en el
sacramento de la Eucaristía, San Marcos nos ayuda a imaginar la escena.
Aquellos cercanos al Señor son enviados a asegurarse de que todo está
preparado. Un hombre los llevará a
otro, el encargado de tener el lugar listo para recibir a Cristo
y celebrar la última cena.
Yo soy uno de los dos llamados a hacer los preparativos para
recibir al Señor de nuevo en mi vida. Se me recuerda cuán
especial es esto. La Eucaristía es un don, el centro de nuestra
fe. Como el centurión, repito las palabras: ‘Señor, no soy
digno…’ pero debo añadir: ‘hazme digno de tan gran don.
Ayúdame a que con toda devoción me prepare a recibir tu
don para mí. Fortalece mi fe para poder decir que creo que
estás presente en este sacramento, e invitarte a entrar en mi
corazón.’
Como los dos discípulos en camino a Emaús yo también digo:
‘Quédate con nosotros, porque ya es tarde y el día se acaba’
… ¡Y El se queda!

Te amo, mi Dios, y mi solo deseo
es amarte hasta el último respiro de mi vida.
Te amo, oh Dios infinitamente amable,
y prefiero morir amándote
antes que vivir un solo instante si amarte.
Te amo, Señor, y la única gracia que te pido
es aquella de amarte eternamente.
Dios mío, si mi lengua
no pudiera decir que te amo en cada instante,
quiero que mi corazón te lo repita
tantas veces cuantas respiro.
Ti amo, oh mi Dios Salvador,
porque has sido crucificado por mí,
y me tienes acá crucificado por Ti.
Dios mío, dame la gracia de morir amándote
y sabiendo que te amo. Amén.(San Juan María Vianney)

1ère lecture :
Voici le sang de l’Alliance que le Seigneur
a conclue avec vous (Ex 24, 3-8)
En ces jours-là, Moïse vint rapporter au
peuple toutes les paroles du Seigneur et
toutes ses ordonnances. Tout le peuple
répondit d’une seule voix : « Toutes ces
paroles ...
Psaume : 115 (116b), 12-13, 15-16ac, 17-18
R/ J’élèverai la coupe du salut, j’invoquerai le nom du Seigneur.
Ou : Alléluia !
Comment rendrai-je au Seigneur tout le bien qu’il m’a fait ?
J’élèverai la coupe du salut, j’invoquerai le nom du Seigneur. Il
en coûte au Seigneur ...
2ème lecture : Le sang du Christ purifiera notre conscience
(He 9, 11-15)
Frères, le Christ est venu, grand prêtre des biens à venir. Par la
tente plus grande et plus parfaite, celle qui n’est pas œuvre de
mains humaines et n’appartient ...
Séquence : Lauda Sion » (ad libitum) ()
Sion, célèbre ton Sauveur, chante ton chef et ton pasteur par
des hymnes et des chants. Tant que tu peux, tu dois oser, car il
dépasse tes louanges, ...
Evangile : Ceci est mon corps, ceci est mon sang
(Mc 14, 12-16.22-26)
Le premier jour de la fête des pains sans levain, où l’on immolait l’agneau pascal, les disciples de Jésus lui disent : « Où veuxtu que nous allions ...
Nous avons appris avec un immense regret le décès de
Nicolas Antoine survenu le mardi 27 Mai 2015. Très cher à
nos cœurs, il a su, tout au long de son existence, démontrer sa joie de vivre, beaucoup d’amour et de passion
pour sa paroisse, sa gentillesse et sa capacité à toujours
être à l’écoute des personnes qui lui étaient chères. Il laisse derrière lui parents et amis, vers qui toutes nos
pensées se tournent en ces moments difficiles.
Afin que nous puissions, tous ensemble, lui rendre un dernier hommage, une cérémonie aura lieu le Samedi 13 Juin
2015, à 10 heures AM en l’église de St Joseph
Enfin, l’Alliance est scellée
«Toute ces paroles que le Seigneur a
dites, nous les mettrons en pratique
» (Ex 24, 3). Mais le sang de l’Alliance mosaïque ne suffira pas aux
enfants d’Israël pour le faire… Il
faudra un fils d’Israël, qui sera le Fils
unique du Père, pour s’offrir « luimême à Dieu comme une victime
sans défaut » (He 9, 14). Lui, le
Christ Jésus, mettra en pratique tout
au long de sa vie la volonté du Père.
« Ma nourriture, c’est de faire la volonté de Celui qui m’a envoyé et d’accomplir son œuvre » (Jn 4, 34). Sur la Croix s’accomplit l’offrande de toute sa vie, de chaque instant de sa vie. « Il
est entré une fois pour toutes dans le sanctuaire, en répandant
son propre sang » (He 9, 12). Enfin l’Alliance est scellée du côté
de l’homme. Voilà la nouveauté. Et elle est scellée de manière
définitive. Voilà l’éternité. Le corps livré et le sang versé du dernier repas rendent présente l’offrande définitive que Jésus fait
de lui-même au Père et que le Père nous donne en communion.
Alors nous ne répondrons plus : « Toutes ces paroles que le Seigneur a dites, nous les mettrons en pratique. » Nous répondrons : tout ce que le Seigneur a dit, Jésus l’a mis en pratique.
Et, présentant le geste eucharistique qui rassemble toute
l’offrande de toute sa vie – sa réponse au Père –, nous supplierons le Père de nous unir à Jésus pour que par lui, avec lui et en
lui, nous puissions à notre tour faire la volonté du Père. « L’Eucharistie nous attire dans l’acte d’offrande de Jésus. […] Nous
sommes entraînés dans la dynamique de son offrande », écrit
Benoît XVI dans Deus caritas est (no 13). Impossible de recevoir
le corps livré et le sang versé sans se livrer pour faire ce que
Dieu veut.
