ARE YOU INVITED?

COME AND EAT BREAD. COME AND DRINK RICH WINE. 

"Jesus said to the crowds: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day. It is written in the prophets:

“They shall all be taught by God.

“Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.

“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life.

“Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; 

“this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my Flesh for the life of the world.” (John 6: 44 - 51).

Thursday April 18th 2024 in 3rd Week in Easter Season.

According to St Athanasius, the early Church Father and Martyr, Easter is a 50-Day Sunday. Because of the Resurrection of His dear Son Jesus Christ, God's sweetness towards us in this holy and joyful Season is boundless. The image of the Eucharist permeates the whole Eastertide. 

"Come and eat bread without money. Come and drink rich wine." (Cf Isaiah 55: 1 - 2). 

I love the Easter Season. This is my best liturgical Season. Because Jesus Christ has risen from the grave, I indulge myself in the 50-Day festivities: Ice cream, donut, walnut, movies, music, etc. 

I delighted today from this joyful noise from the Altar. 

Have you heard the above words before Holy Communion? Are you invited to the Supper of the Lamb? 

THE EUCHARIST IS THE SOURCE, CENTER AND SUMMIT OF THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH. 

The Church learns more and honors the HOLY EUCHARIST in APRIL.
