FROM FR.JOE On this Father's Day, let us draw close to Saint Joseph, the Patron
Saint of Fathers, as we pray: Glorious Saint Joseph, spouse of the immaculate Virgin, obtain for me a pure,
humble, charitable mind, and perfect resignation to the divine Will. Be my guide, my father, and my model
through life that I may merit to die as you did in the arms of Jesus and Mary. Amen.
Each year we celebrate at this time the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Feast of the Body and Blood of
Christ. Jesus clearly teaches, as recorded in John 6, it truly is his body and blood that he gives us when we receive Holy
Communion. But what does this mean for you and me? Why would he do something so radical and even strange sounding to
people of our culture?
First, it is no accident that he gives us himself under the form of Bread and Wine. These were staple foods of his
time. Bread properly made is so rich that one can practically live on it. This is not the case with rice or potatoes. When Jesus
calls himself the bread of life, he is saying he can meet all our spiritual needs just as bread for so many, basically did the
same for peoples bodily needs. Wine was also a staple food. Many of the benefits of a glass of wine are known to us. In
Scripture, in one of the psalms it is written: God gave Man wine to cheer his heart. And so Jesus gives himself under the
form of wine to remind us that he is the one who truly gives us joy.
Although what we receive in Holy Communion continues to have the properties of bread and wine, our faith
teaches us that the underlying substance is the body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. Why would Jesus do this, change
the underlying substance into his being through the prayers of consecration of the priest? It is a great mystery. But one
answer would be that he is trying to communicate that he is sharing his divinity with us through Holy Communion. He is
sharing his life with us, he is inviting us into his inner circle of friends. He has us eat not at the table for servants, but at his
family table, with his Father and Holy Spirit.
I suppose he could have just given himself to us spiritually, or symbolically. But Jesus never does things half way.
He wanted to give his entire self. In a similar manner he didn't have to suffer so overwhelmingly on the cross. The smallest
suffering would have sufficed to make up for all our sins because of his great dignity, his being the Second Person of the
Most Holy Trinity. But to better demonstrate his love, he chose to suffer in the most grievous form known to man in his
time. God the Son "desperately" desires to communicate the love of the Father and his love for us. So he died on the Cross
and left us with a Sacrament in which we receive his whole person. Let us approach Holy Communion understanding what a
great gift he gives us. And let us live according to the divine dignity that he strengthens within us each time we receive Holy
Communion in the state of grace. Fr. Joe
Parish Directory Time
2018 brings the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay’s
Sesquicentennial (150th Anniversary), and a perfect time
for a Parish Directory to commemorate the occasion.
Cathedral & St. John’s will be doing so as well. You will
receive a free 8 x 10 of your portrait, a free copy of the
finished directory, and the ability to order additional
portraits. It is a wonderful opportunity to have your family
portrait or Christmas card photographs taken. Although
each parish will have their own directory committee,
parish members can have their portraits taken at either
parish’s photography sessions. We are looking for a team
of people to work with our organizers for each parish
(Mike Parins for St. Johns and Mary Fisher for the
Cathedral.) Please consider joining our current volunteers,
as we need:
Two coordinators from each parish.
Two layout volunteers with computer skills (per parish)
Sign-up volunteers.
Host/hostesses for check-in on picture days.
Follow-up phone callers.
Many hands make light work. What a great chance to get
to know your fellow parishioners! We hope you can join
us to create this wonderful directory. Please call Cathedral
office to share your time. 432-4348.
