It is providential and most fitting that we re-gather the People of God as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body of Christ with great joy!

We've been waiting so long for this day - to receive the Eucharistic presence of Our Lord together.

Moving forward with the guidelines given to us for public safety, we give thanks to God for this moment, mindful of the responsibility to keep all safe. We pray that we will live as a Eucharistic people, giving and sharing ourselves, as Christ continually does for us, breaking open and pouring out our love in selfless service. It's a wonderful day!

As most members of our parishes will continue to pray with us at home, we remember that there is no substitute for the reception of the Eucharist.

Moving forward ever so carefully, we pray for the grace to be mindful of the needy, to care for the lonely, to work for justice of people so that the love of Our Lord will be known in the world through us.
