Strengthened by the Bread of Life

Today we resume the “Bread of Life” discourse from John’s Gospel that began two weeks ago. He makes reference to the Jews’ ancestors who ate manna in the desert. These days we would think primarily of Israel wandering in the desert, but faithful Jews would also have known the story of Elijah that we hear today. Strengthened by food and drink in the desert, the angel of the Lord sends him on his forty-day and forty-night journey (the biblical number for a preparation time). Like the food given to Elijah in the desert, Jesus tells his listeners that he is bread for the life of the world. It is very important that we not stop listening to Jesus after his promise of eternal life—a marvelous promise, but this “reward” is not the only reason we feast on the Bread of Life. We also come to the table to be made strong for the journey of mission, that the whole world might have life in the fullness of Christ. We are com-pelled, if we have eaten of the bread of life, to go forth in service to all. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

The Assumption of Mary

August 15 On November 1, 1950, Pope Pius XII defined the Assumption of Mary to be a dogma of faith: “We pronounce, declare and de-fine it to be a divinely re-vealed dogma that the im-maculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed

body and soul to heavenly glory.” The pope pro-claimed this dogma only after a broad consulta-tion of bishops, theologians and laity. There were few dissenting voices. What the pope solemnly declared was already a common belief in the Catholic Church.

We find homilies on the Assumption go-ing back to the sixth century. In following centu-ries, the Eastern Churches held steadily to the doctrine, but some authors in the West were hesi-tant. However by the 13th century there was uni-versal agreement. The feast was celebrated under various names–Commemoration, Dormition, Passing, Assumption–from at least the fifth or sixth century. Today it is celebrated as a solemni-ty.

Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s Assumption into heaven. Nevertheless, Revelation 12 speaks of a woman who is caught up in the battle between good and evil. Many see this woman as God’s people. Since Mary best embodies the people of both Old and New Testa-ments, her Assumption can be seen as an exem-plification of the woman’s victory. Furthermore, in 1 Corinthians 15:20, Paul speaks of Christ’s resurrection as the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Since Mary is closely associated with all the mysteries of Jesus’ life, it is not surprising that the Holy Spirit has led the Church to believe in Mary’s share in his glorification. So close was she to Jesus on earth, she must be with him body and soul in heaven. Printed with permission from Franciscan Media; www.FranciscanMedia.org

Renew and Rebuild Campaign

The Archdiocese of New York has em-barked on a campaign to renew and rebuild our church physically and spiritually. Most of the money raised by our parish will stay within our parish to rebuild and upgrade our physical plants. Some money will be used to support other Archdi-ocesan priorities; such as, extraordinary capital projects for needy parishes, evangelization and lay leadership formation, Catholic High Schools, Catholic Charities and of St. Patrick’s Cathedral restoration.

.

The altar bread at Mass becomes the body of Jesus Christ and the wine at Mass be-comes the blood of Jesus Christ.

The offering for each one is $100 for the month. The memorial will be published in the bulletin the first week of the month. Thank you.
