Sunday Reflection “I am the bread from Heaven!” This solemn saying provokes scandalized murmurs from the crowd. A tragic misunderstanding has arisen between Jesus and his hearers. Before identifying himself as the bread of life, Jesus shared the bread of ordinary people. For thirty years his life was marked by everyday meals, festival meals, funeral meals. At the end of those years, the crowd sees only the man who has shared their bread. “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? How can he claim to have come down from heaven?” The heart of unbelief is

to see in Jesus only the one who shares the bread of people, not the one who shares his own life in the bread. “The bread I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.” Jesus is the one who gives the bread. We are temped to reduce religion to the initiative of the one who decided for God. But it is God who first shares life with us.

ON MISSION FOR THE CHURCH ALIVE! Our summer Evenings of Prayer culminate in a Festival of Praise with sacred music. This inspirational event will be held on Wednesday, August 12 at 7:00 pm at St. Paul Cathedral, 108 North Dithridge St., Pittsburgh, PA (Oakland). Join us for adoration of the Blessed Sacra-ment, traditional and contemporary praise music and an extended address by Bishop David Zubik, who will challenge us to “Go forth and grow The Church Alive!”. No reservations necessary. More info can be found at www.OnMissionChurchAlive.org.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Saturday, August 15

The origins of this celebration seem tied to the Council of Ephesus (431) which reaffirmed Mary to be Theotokos, the Mother of God. A celebration of the Council at Jerusalem may have been united with a commemoration of Mary’s death observed at a local shrine. The original Eastern titles of the celebration support this: anapausis (the “resting” or

“death”), metastasis (Latin transius or “Passover”). The feast spread throughout the East and was adopted at Rome in the seventh century. In the eighth century the title of the Assumption became firmly established for the feast. Today’s gospel has us contemplate Mary and her cousin Elizabeth trading compliments. “Blest are you among women and blest is the fruit of your womb.” If the Virgin’s child is blessed, how could she be otherwise? The basis for all her privileges is her divine maternity.

Intimately involved in the redemptive incarnation of the Son of God, Mary must also share in his resurrection. Her real greatness lies more in her faith, which caused her first to conceive in her heart, even before conceiving in her womb (Augustine). “Blest is she who trusted”, first in the announcement made to her by the angel Gabriel, but also in the whole adventure which it implied. For a vocation is always a discovery. Mary was continually challenged to renew, to broaden, to deepen the act of faith asked of her in Nazareth. Her vocation led to the foot of the cross. There the true greatness of her faith was revealed. There her song of praise took on new depth. Thus she became the model of believers. Her assumption into the fullness of life is hope for all. Since the Solemnity of Assumption falls on a Saturday this year, it is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation; however, we invite you to join us in the celebration of this wonderful & beautiful Holy Day honoring the Blessed Mother at 9:00 am Mass.
