STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT

Elijah recognized the voice of God not in the strong and heavy wind, not in the earthquake, and not in the fire, but in a tiny whispering sound. May we find enough quiet in our clamorous world to hear His voice and discern what He is calling us to do and be.

Question: Why do Catholics need to go to Mass every Sunday? Answer: The heart of the Church’s instruction that we are to attend Mass on Sundays goes back to the Third Commandment: “Take care to keep holy the Sabbath day as the LORD, your God, has commanded you” (Deuteronomy 5:12). Although the Jewish People celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday, the first genera-tions of Christians began to observe the Sabbath on Sunday, recognizing how important it is for Christians to celebrate the day that Jesus rose from the dead. As the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults observes, “Sunday extends the celebration of Easter throughout the year … It makes present the new creation brought about by Christ” (364).

The focus of our Sunday should be the celebration of the Eucharist in the Mass. This is our time to be formed by God’s Word and nourished at the table of the Lord, becoming prepared to live out and share our faith in the week that follows. In his encyclical, Dies Domini, Pope Saint John Paul II, reminded us that Christians “cannot live their faith or share fully in the life of the Christian community unless they take part regularly in the Sunday Eucharistic assembly” (no. 81). This is why the Church teaches us that Sunday Mass is a non-negotiable part of being a Christian (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2192).

Beyond being a time of worship, we should also remember that Sunday is intended to be a day of rest, when we make time for recreation, for sharing meals, and enjoying the company of friends and family. Sunday is given to as a day to take stock of and enjoy the blessings that God has given us (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2187). Pope Francis reminds us, “The day of rest, centered on the Eucharist, sheds its light on the whole week, and motivates us to greater concern for nature and the poor” (Laudato Si’, no. 237). ©LPi

Matthew 14: 13-21

By Jude Siciliano, OP @Faith Book

From today’s Gospel reading:

Taking the five loaves and two fish, and looking up to heaven, Jesus said the blessing, broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. Reflection:

Jesus saw the hungry crowd and with the loaves and fish his disciples offered, he fed them. While we might receive comfort knowing that our inner hungers are fed at our Eucharistic meal, let’s not just "spiritualize" today’s gospel. Let’s remember that Jesus’ pity extended to the crowd’s physical needs that he saw when he disembarked from the boat. Matthew tells us, "He was moved with pity for them and he cured their sick," and, with the disciples’ help, he fed their hunger. So, we ask ourselves:

What hunger do I bring to this Eucharist today that I turn

to Jesus to feed?

Who are the hungry I am hearing Jesus invite me to feed – with his help?
