CATHOLIC ADVOCACY NETWORK
It is important to stay informed on key issues facing the
Church and state this strengthens the Catholic voice.
Join the Catholic Advocacy Network now by registering
at www.nyscatholic .org and know what’s going on.
Better that only a few Catholics should be left,
staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they
should, remaining many, desire as it were, to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies and in conformity with
the open foes of our faith.

CHURCH COLLECTION
Our Parish Collections Sun. October 19th $ 10,763.00
We appreciate the generosity of you, our parishioners. When
we have a second collection, people tend to split their usual
offering between the two collections, which is understandable
given the pressure of our economic times. However we rely on
the first collection to keep the parish and school going and pay
the bills. We ask that if there are two collections you include the
usual amount you give in the first collection and do the best you
can with the second if you are able to.

THE EUCHARIST
The Lord Jesus, on the night before he
suffered on the cross, shared one last
meal with his disciples. During this meal
our Savior instituted the sacrament of
his Body and Blood. He did this in order
to perpetuate the sacrifice of the Cross
throughout the ages and to entrust to
the Church his Spouse a memorial of his death and
resurrection. As the Gospel of Matthew tells us:
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing,
broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; this is
my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them,
saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the
covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the
forgiveness of sins." (Mt 26:26-28; cf. Mk 14:22-24, Lk 22:17-20,
1 Cor 11:23-25)
Recalling these words of Jesus, the Catholic Church professes
that, in the celebration of the Eucharist, bread and wine become
the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the
Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. Jesus said: "I am
the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this
bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh
for the life of the world. . . . For my flesh is true food, and my
blood is true drink" (Jn 6:51-55). The whole Christ is truly
present, body, blood, soul, and divinity, under the appearances
of bread and wine—the glorified Christ who rose from the dead
after dying for our sins. This is what the Church means when
she speaks of the "Real Presence" of Christ in the Eucharist.
This presence of Christ in the Eucharist is called "real" not to
exclude other types of his presence as if they could not be
understood as real (cf. Catechism, no. 1374). The risen Christ is
present to his Church in many ways, but most especially
through the sacrament of his Body and Blood.
What does it mean that Jesus Christ is present in the Eucharist
under the appearances of bread and wine? How does this
happen? The presence of the risen Christ in the Eucharist is an
inexhaustible mystery that the Church can never fully explain in
words. We must remember that the triune God is the creator of
all that exists and has the power to do more than we can
possibly imagine. As St. Ambrose said: "If the word of the Lord
Jesus is so powerful as to bring into existence things which
were not, then a fortiori those things which already exist can be
changed into something else" (De Sacramentis, IV, 5-16). God
created the world in order to share his life with persons who are
not God. This great plan of salvation reveals a wisdom that
surpasses our understanding. But we are not left in ignorance:
for out of his love for us, God reveals his truth to us in ways that
we can understand through the gift of faith and the grace of the
Holy Spirit dwelling in us. We are thus enabled to understand at
least in some measure what would otherwise remain unknown
to us, though we can never completely comprehend the mystery
of God.
As successors of the Apostles and teachers of the Church, the
bishops have the duty to hand on what God has revealed to us
and to encourage all members of the Church to deepen their
understanding of the mystery and gift of the Eucharist.
