"What is a cenacle?" The cenacle is a small faith-sharing group. It is as old as the Church itself. The idea con-tained in the word cenacle is derived from the meeting of our Lord's followers in the upper room where He celebrated the Last Supper. The Latin word for supper is cena. It was in the up-per room that Jesus instituted the Eucharist and washed the apostles' feet. It was there that the apostles received the Holy Spirit on Pente-cost. Our Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy mem-bers meet in small groups. The goals are to delve deeper into the writings of St. Faustina and learn more about the Eucharist and the message of mercy. A major key to the success of the cenacle is the faith-sharing that takes place. In the sessions, the Image of The Divine Mercy, the Feast Day, the Eucharist, the Sacra-ment of Reconciliation, and more are brought up and discussed. Life journeys, struggles, and insights are openly discussed. Thus, our faith comes alive and the importance of Divine Mercy becomes more apparent. Remember that just two people can form a cenacle. The Diary is so rich and Spirit-filled that the growth of the members is inevitable. Good fruit is the result anytime people come together to

talk and learn more about God.

June 10, 2018 ● Tenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Is the kingdom of your soul divided? We are often confronted with choices that ap-pear to be good but in essence are not. We struggle with choos-ing good over evil and right from wrong. Conflicts often exist within, and we walk through life with a divided heart. We realize what is needed to live with God but find ourselves doing the exact oppo-site. As we gather with our broth-ers and sisters and seek God's gift of Christ in the Eucharist, may we not only be united with one another in faith but united with God within. All conflicts and divisions can cease, and we

can act with a focused, strong, and determined heart.
