The Blessed Eucharist

Last week, the priests of the Salina Diocese were on retreat.  We had a wonderful speaker in the retired Archbishop of San Francisco, Archbishop John Quinn.  He spoke to us as priests and on the last day he gave us 10 commandments in living our lives as priests, as well as human beings.  Central to our lives needs to be our relationship with Jesus Christ and him present in the Eucharist.  Today we celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.  This is a topic that we can talk about everyday.  God loves us so much that He sent His only Son into the world and Jesus gave us his Body and Blood.  Jesus says that we will offer this in memory of him until the day he returns.  The Mass is our central act of worship and the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith.  Let us be thankful for the gift of the Eucharist and always receive our Lord with love, reverence, and respect!!!!
