NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B August 8, 2021

THE TRUE SOURCE OF OUR STRENGTH

Welcome to our weekly Parish bulletin!

One month ago, the Haitian president Jovenel Moise

was murdered in a humiliating and horrific manner. That

was an extreme outrage to the Haitian people and a

great suffering for so many. All the Haitian communities

in Massachusetts gathered at Our Lady of Mount Car-

mel’s this past Saturday August 7 for a memorial mass

for the deceased president and many other victims of

violence in the Caribbean nation. We truly appreciate

such a celebration which stands as a healing process to

the afflicted. Once again, our help is in the name of the

Lord, the Almighty one, who constantly sustains and

keeps strong the Haitian people despite so much suffer-

ing throughout their troubled history.

I’ve been thinking of the manna in the desert that fed the

Hebrews as they traveled to the Promised Land. What

kind of food was it? Was it bread? Meat? Vegetable? Or

something else? Today everybody is looking for a perfect

food, the right food that gives health, all the vitamins we

need, food that helps us look good, slim, and healthy.

Commercials often pretend they have it. Here it is! There

it is! Bring your money! It seems to me that the manna in

the desert should have been this right food people are

looking for. But in this weekend’s gospel, Jesus is saying

that the manna, no matter how precious it was for the

Israelites, is nothing compared to the bread he proposes.

He, Jesus, is the true bread of heaven, the bread that

satisfies the deepest hunger of our lives. The manna in

the desert was just a sign of this heavenly bread. It sus-

tained the Israelites on their journey to the Promised

Land. But it could not produce eternal life for them. The

bread which Jesus offers is to sustain us not for one day

but for eternity. This is the perfect food which heals both

body and soul and strengthens our journey to heaven. I

am the living bread that came down from heaven; who-

ever eats this bread will live forever, Jesus says. Are we

ready to welcome that food? Are we ready to give up all

other cheap food for the bread that lasts forever? When

we gather for Eucharist, we remember that we, the Bap-

tized, are priests celebrating the Event which is at the

source of our strength and resilience. We are all God's

people receiving the food that sustains and shapes us as

one body in our journey toward God. Cardinal Henri de

Lubac says it right: "the Church makes the Eucharist; the

Eucharist makes the Church".

Have a good weekend!

LE CHRÉTIEN A-T-IL BESOIN D’UNE ÉGLISE POUR VIVRE SA FOI?

Pourquoi cette obligation d'aller à l'église tous les dimanches ? La réponse est que Jésus Christ ne nous

sauve pas séparément les uns des autres ; il est venu pour se constituer un peuple, une communauté de

personnes, en communion avec lui et entre elles. Venir à l'Eglise c'est prendre part à la grande famille de

Dieu. C'est être membre du peuple de Dieu. C'est manifester sa volonté d'accueillir le salut que le Christ

nous a proposé en communauté. Il faut cependant souligner un phénomène douloureux : l'abandon en

masse de la fréquentation de l'église et donc de la messe du dimanche. Les statistiques sur la pratique

religieuse sont désastreuses. Cela ne veut pas dire que tous ceux qui ne vont pas à l'église ont perdu la foi,

mais que la religion « sur mesure » a remplacé la religion instituée par le Christ. Ici aux Etats-Unis on

l'appelle la religion « pick and choose » (prends et choisis), comme au supermarché. Chacun se fait sa

propre idée de Dieu, de la prière, et a la conscience tranquille. On oublie ainsi que Dieu s'est révélé à travers

le Christ, que le Christ a prêché un évangile, a fondé une église, c'est-à-dire une assemblée d'appelés, qu'il

a institué des sacrements, comme signes et canaux de sa présence et du salut. Celui qui ignore tout cela

pour cultiver sa propre image de Dieu s'expose au subjectivisme le plus total. Il ne se confronte plus qu'à lui-

même. Dieu se réduit à la projection des nécessités et des désirs de chacun. Dès lors ce n'est plus Dieu qui

crée l'homme à son image, mais c'est l'homme qui se crée un dieu à son image et à sa ressemblance. Un

Dieu qui devient une idole dont il faut parfois se défaire!
