Welcome!
This week, we gather to celebrate the feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, a day that speaks to the very center of our faith. Jesus calls us to be both guests and servants, participants and hosts, as we share in the banquet of God. In this sacred feast, the Eucharist becomes the transfusion of grace that sustains our souls. It is a table open to everyone, a table that reflects the love of Christ himself. Let us listen for Christ's compassionate invitation and respond with generous hearts, ready to serve as we are served.

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."*
 
Gracious God, we thank you for the gift of your Eucharist, the living bread that sustains our souls. Help us to internalize this Transfusion of Grace: to become guests who welcome, to become participants who serve, to become hosts who share your mercy with a world in need. Strengthen our hearts to love as you have loved us, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for the vulnerable, and to seek justice in your name. May this holy meal renew our minds, transform our lives, and illuminate our path as one body in Christ. Through Jesus our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever, Amen.
