From Father Fasching
In the New Covenant founded by Christ Himself, being reconciled means making use of the Sacrament of Penance. In this Sacrament we “obtain pardon from God’s mercy for the offence committed against Him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins” Lumen gentium, 11).
Our greatest gift is the Eucharist. Along with our duty to go to Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation, we have a responsibility to always receive Holy Communion in a state of grace. We must remember that love of God takes precedence over all things. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. This is the greatest and first commandment” (Mt 22:27-38). We must remember that there is an order of charity and God always comes first in our lives.
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching

EPISTLE
Rom. 8, 18-23
GOSPEL
Luc. 5, 1-11
“Sacred Scripture teaches that man was created ‘in the image of God’, as able to know and love his Creator, and as set by him over all earthly creatures that he might rule them, and make use of them, while glorifying God” (Vatican II, Gaudium et spes, 12). Saint Paul says that creation is subject to futility due to the disorder resulting from sin. Material goods should be used as resources enabling us to attain our ultimate goal. If we use them in a disordered way we disconnect them from God and therefore turn them into instruments of sin.
Mass schedule June 21st through June 25th
Monday: Saint Aloysius Gonzaga; Confessor No Latin Mass
Tuesday: Saint Paulinus of Nola; Bishop & Confessor

From Father Fasching
Peter does not want our Lord to leave him. Peter is aware of his sinfulness and he declares his unworthiness to be near Christ. Peter’s attitude is similar to that of the centurion who stated his unworthiness to have Christ come into his house. This is the same attitude we must have before receiving the Blessed Eucharist. We must also show due external reverence to the Blessed Sacrament when going to Communion. This is why Peter falls to his knees. Peter shows that internal adoration of God should be expressed externally as well.
In Christ,

From Father Fasching
The focus of the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the incomprehensible love which Jesus Christ shows us in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. We must grieve over the ingratitude of men and make reparation by acts of love and adoration for the Blessed Sacrament. Christ instituted the Eucharist for three reasons: 1) the desire He has to be continually with us. 2) The desire He has to share all His possessions with us. 3) The desire He has to unite Himself intimately with us. A good meditation for the day would be to consider the sentiments of Christ when He saw Himself abandoned by all the people for whom he had done favors, even His closest disciples. Consider Christ’s true presence in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar when almost everybody abandons Him for most of the day, or rarely visit Him. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have mercy on us.
In Christ,

On the feast of Corpus Christi we have an opportunity to reverently expose our Lord not just to the faithful, but to any persons who may witness our procession of the Blessed Sacrament through the streets. We have a chance to demonstrate our love for Christ’s Real Presence by honoring Him in public. Our procession is therefore a great opportunity for charity since we will be bringing our Lord closer to those who may not otherwise have the opportunity.

From Father Fasching
The feast of Corpus Christi allows us the opportunity to focus solely on the Eucharist. Praying to Christ before the Blessed Sacrament has always drawn me closer to Him. It is why I became a priest and what sustains me in my priestly ministry. When a priest offers the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, he does so as one who is uniquely configured to the person of Christ. The Eucharist calls the priest to holiness. It is the most efficacious grace to that end for all of us. As I strive toward holiness of life, I offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass each day. Therefore, I am transformed into the One whom I love. Each day I ascend the altar I pronounce the words:
“HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.”
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
