Where Hospitality and Love Meet St. Joseph Catholic Church Farmington, Missouri The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ June 7, 2015 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ www.stjosephfarmington.com From the Pastor’s Pen Thank You for Standing in God’s Presence and Ministering to My Family and I During Our Time of Sorrow. Dear Parishioners, My sincere and heartfelt thanks for all of the love, compassion and understanding you extended to me during the past few months. It was six months ago that mom had a terrible fall in her home (I was with our Yesterday’s Kids on our trip to Branson when I received the call)… The doctors discovered a large cancerous tumor that caused it and at the time, the doctor told us that at the most, we would have about six months of life left with her… or because of her heart, she could possibly go at any time… The past six months have been an amazing journey of faith and discovery for me and for each of my siblings. We never knew a heart could feel so much pain, yet be filled with so much gratitude at the same time… With God’s grace and the love of our family… It has been such a bittersweet yet the most beautiful journey… We prayed for one last Christmas with mom… We got it… We prayed for one last Easter with mom… We got it… We prayed for one last Mother’s Day… We got a day filled with so many blessings that we will never forget it! June 7, 2015 • Page 2 Mom always taught us kids by example… and even at the very end… Mom taught us by example… how to die with grace, hope and dignity! Thank you to those who took the time to drive to Perryville to be with me during the visitation… Thank you to those who came to her funeral mass… I will never forget your presence… Thank you to those who made cakes for the funeral luncheon… Thank you for the beautiful basket of red carnations sent to both Randy and I. Mom loved red carnations. Thank you to our amazing parish staff; Fr. Dyer, Abe, Agnes, Lisa, Jessi, Jeannette, and Sandi, who went beyond the call of any expectations… From making the funeral programs… to hosting the luncheon at the farm. Thank you for keeping everything running so smoothly while I was away for a couple of weeks. Thank you for the many cards, perpetual enrollments and mass offerings… Thank you for the many memorial contributions to the pavilion that will be built in her memory at the farm and enjoyed not only by my family but also the hundreds of retreatants that come for spiritual enrichment through the year. Thank you for the memorials given to Cardinal Glennon Children’s hospital in her memory. The last three weeks were a wonderful and beautiful time of blessings… I am so thankful that I had my priorities right and took the time to be with mom during her final journey and with my family. I sincerely thank you for being the awesome parish family that you are… through you, I felt the very embrace of God’s love during our hours of sorrow. We were blessed with an awesome mother! And during the last two weeks, we've prayed that God would lovingly lead mom safely home… We learned that waiting can be painful… On behalf of my siblings; Diane, Sharon, Billy, Randy and Bruce and I, we extend our deepest and heartfelt thanks! We learned that God’s greatest gifts come with the Cross… Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine upon her. The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ www.stjosephfarmington.com June 7, 2015 • Page 3 Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center Plants for the Greenhouse at Our Annual Parish Picnic! “Where Faith and Healing Unite.” We will again have our St. Joseph Greenhouse this year. This is where you can donate houseplants, bulbs, seedlings, anything from your garden that can be planted. Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center touches the lives of over 250,000 sick and injured infants and children every year. Catholics across our Diocese helped build Glennon, the only free-standing, Catholic children’s hospital in America. Please be a friend by making a gift to the hospital’s annual Glennon Sunday Collection this weekend. Our Parish Picnic is Only 3 Weeks Away… Our parish picnic is just 3 weeks away!!! We need everyone to be involved so that we can make this year’s picnic one of the best ever for our parish! Please mark your calendars now for the weekend of June 27 - 28 to be present to help with this major fundraising event of our parish. If you need a T-shirt, please contact Jeannette or Jessi in the parish office by Friday, June 12!! Early Bird Tickets for our “All You Can Eat” Picnic Dinners on Sale Next Weekend Receive $1.00 off for an awesome meal Early bird dinner tickets will be on sale the next two weekends after all the masses. The prices for our awesome “ALL YOU CAN EAT” Fried Chicken and Kettle Beef dinners and our signature side of liver dumplings will be $9.00 for adults (12 and over) Children $5.00 (5-11) and children 4 and under are free!!! If you buy your tickets early you will receive one dollar off the regular price!!! You Will Be Receiving Your Raffle Tickets in the Mail… Each registered, active and contributing household of our parish will soon be receiving their raffle tickets in the mail. We are sincerely hoping that each family will try to sell a page of the raffle tickets and the quilt tickets. The grand prize of our raffle this year is $1,000, second prize $500, third is $250, and fourth prize is $100. The quilt raffle has three beautiful quilts, each one handmade by the hands of our St. Joseph quilters! Do your lilies, hydrangeas, irises, flowers need thinning? If so, we would love to have them to sell at our greenhouse! Our Picnic Bottle Booth Needs Your Help When you do your weekly grocery shopping could you pick up a couple of bottles for our bottle booth? Our picnic bottle booth has absolutely NO overhead and always generates a great profit. Every year we run out of bottles with people still wanting to play. As long as it is nonperishable, unopened, and hasn’t expired, we would love to have it. Please see page 13 for ideas. Want to Un-Clutter Your Lives? Bring Your Items to our Flea Market to Help Your Parish… I recently read that people spend the first half of their lives collecting things and the second half of their lives giving it away! It seems the older we get, the less clutter we wish to have. Psychologists agree that people who live uncluttered lives are more stress free. We certainly have a way to help you get rid of your clutter and reduce your stress!!! Each year our parish has a flea market at our picnic and this booth is another one of our successful endeavors. If you have recently done your spring cleaning, here is a great place to bring the items from your closets, cabinets and garages and to know that you have given them to a great cause, your parish family!!! No clothing items will be accepted!!! And Finally… “Always remember that as long as we keep the Eucharist the center of our lives, everything else will fall in place...of that I am confident”!!!

He offers us the chance to drink from His cup. In the Eucharist, we meet Christ personally and, if we listen to Him, we know what drinking from His cup means for each of us. Often, it means our own sacrifice – giving up some of our time, talent and treasure to do His work on earth. Together we pray for those who are sick. (Parishioners names are in bold.)

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ www.stjosephfarmington.com June 7, 2015 • Page 7 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Today the Church focuses on the Eucharist. Today’s readings remind us how connected to ancient blood sacrifices we are when offering our unbloody sacrifice. The reading from Exodus describes a solemn ritual designed so the Israelites would never forget their covenant with God. The reading from the Letter to the Hebrews turns us from those ancient animal sacrifices, the first efforts to worship the living God. Our sacrifice is the body and blood of the Son of God. Because of Christ we have a new covenant. The Gospel from Mark retells the establishment of that covenant, the familiar story of the Last Supper. Juxtaposed with the story of animal sacrifice as it is here, we are challenged to listen with new attention, to remember the great price paid for our salvation. Jesus gave his body and every drop of his blood for us. How Shall We Make A Return To The Lord? The ancient words of Psalm 116 ring out fresh and new in today’s responsorial psalm. When the psalmist asks how he or anyone can make a return to the Lord for all the good that God has done, he is echoing our prayer of wondrous gratitude. How can any of us ever make a return to the Lord or repay God in any way? In this psalm we are told what we are to do: We are to take up the cup of salvation and “call upon the name of the Lord” (Ps. 116:13). This primal need to give thanks and make a return to God prompts the Church to give us this solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, a celebration set apart from Holy Thursday, when, among other things, we commemorate Jesus Christ’s establishment of the Eucharist. That day, set in the context of the Easter Triduum, is busy with many symbols and actions. Today we turn our full attention to the body and blood of Christ, given to us in the forms of bread and wine. The Cup Of Salvation Jesus, in Mark’s Gospel, identifies the cup of salvation for us. It is the cup of his blood, the blood of the covenant. This blood fulfills the old covenant, the one marked by Moses when he sprinkled the Israelites with the blood of sacrificed animals. Now we take up the cup of the new covenant, the cup of salvation, and we call upon the name of the Lord. How can this action make a return to the Lord? Only this way: In this action we offer to God the only perfect gift. Alone we are nothing. It is Christ who is the perfect offering. It is through the total gift of his body and blood that we have been redeemed. Today’s Readings: Ex 24:3–8; Ps 116:12–13, 15–18; Heb 9:11–15; Mk 14:12–16, 22–26 Copyright © J. S.

Dynamic Catholic, Alive! The Real Presence As we celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, we reflect on the importance of the Eucharist to the life of the Church. The Church teaches that in the Eucharist Christ is present body, blood, soul, and divinity. The Eucharist, which was instituted by Christ on Holy Thursday, is the “source and summit of all Christian life” (Compendium, 274). How do you approach the Eucharist? Have you gone to Adoration recently?
