- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- The Most Holy
Body & Blood of Christ
-
- When the Lord gave us the
Eucharist, he meant this great sacrament to sustain us. It is
the ‘bread of angels’ and ‘food for the journey.’
It enables us to go to God.
- Adults: Are there particular moments when
the Eucharist clearly became the decisive and life-giving sustenance
of my life, enabling me to go forward?
Children: How do I show gratitude and thanks
in my life?
- Habitat for Humanity -- Donation tithe builds Habitat Homes in other countries
A new Habitat build costs about $80,000 in
materials; $8,000 is sent to the International Office to help
build a home in less developed countries.
Over the years the Faith Build Coalition
has built 6 homes in our area; they have also financed another
6 homes in other countries. Many of these homes have been built
in Guatemala.
We are rapidly reaching our goal for this year;
there have been 45 contributions, many of which have been quite
substantial. Thanks to all who have helped.
The second goal is that this gift be representative
of our faith community. We still have some work to do to broaden
the support for Habitat. Please give something, even a little
will mean much.

VOCATION
CAMPS for middle and high school aged boys are being planned
by the Vocation Team from the Steubenville Diocese. Any male
youth entering grades 7-9 this fall and who are interested in
exploring the possibility of a priestly vocation are welcome
to attend our first vocation camp of the summer at Sacred Heart
Retreat House June 27-30. The camp will begin at 5:00
PM on the 27th and conclude at 11:00 AM on the 30th; the cost
is just $65 per participant.
Also, any male youth entering grades 10-12
this fall and who are interested in exploring the possibility
of a priestly vocation are welcome to attend the second vocation
camp of the summer at Sacred Heart Retreat House July 25-28.
The camp will begin at 5:00 PM on the 25th and conclude at 11:00
AM on the 28th. The cost is $65 per participant.
The camps will be filled with fun, games, sports,
movies, talks, discussion, prayer, swimming, hiking, cookouts,
a bonfire, snacks and very importantly, learning more about our
faith and what God may be inviting one to do with his life. The
main goal is to introduce a person more fully to the vocation
of priesthood. Anyone is welcome who is looking for a fun and
faith-filled time and also, who is open to learning about these
awesome vocations.
You can express your interest and save a spot
in the camp by calling the Office of Vocations at 740-282-0646
or email at diosteubhof@sbcglobal.net. Also, if you have any
questions or want more specific information, please do not hesitate
to call. Once we have received a person’s reservation, we
will send the information packet needed for the camp.
LITURGY BITS AND BYTES
Corpus Christi
This feast, now called the Solemnity of the
Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, developed during the Middle
Ages (in the year 1264) at the request of St. Thomas Aquinas
who wrote the hymns and prayers for the feast. Its purpose was
to emphasize the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. A procession
with the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance was a public display
of faith. Processions, incense, flowers, canopy, monstrance!
For 800 years people looked at and adored our Lord in the Eucharist,
singing about the awesome presence of Christ among us, remembering
Holy Thursday, spiritually communing but rarely daring to receive
the Body and Blood of the Lord in Holy Communion. Today we understand
once more that the Eucharist is for eating and drinking. The
feast of the Body and Blood of Christ calls us to ponder the
love of our savior who came to be with us and to serve us in
a most ordinary way, and to ask how we might follow more closely
in his footsteps.
