Feast of Corpus Christi is a Eucharistic solemnity, or better, the solemn

commemoration of the institution of that Sacrament. It is the Church's official act of

homage and gratitude to Christ, who by instituting the Holy Eucharist gave to the Church her greatest treasure. Holy Thursday, assuredly, marks the anniversary of the institution, but the commemoration of the Lord's passion that very

night suppresses the rejoicing proper to the occasion. Today's observance, therefore, accents

the joyous aspect of Holy Thursday.

EXPLANATION OF THE ROE ACT

Currently before the Legislature of Massachusetts are two identical bills proposing the “ROE Act” (HB 3320: “An Act Removing Obstacles and Expanding access to Women’s Reproductive Health” and SB 1209: “An Act to Remove Obstacles and Expand Abortion Access”). The Legislature may very well act on these bills this summer. If passed, they will: expand abortion access, including late-term abortions, during the nine months of pregnancy for virtually any reason; eliminate any requirements that late-term abortions be performed in a hospital; eliminate the requirement that provides medical care to a child who survives an abortion attempt; eliminate the requirement that a minor under the age of 18 have the consent of a parent, guardian, or the courts; and expand state funding for women who cannot afford the procedure. James Driscoll, the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Catholic Conference, will make a presentation on this important matter at Christ the King on Tuesday, July 9 at 7:00 pm. All are invited to come and learn what steps can be taken to oppose the passage of this legislation.
