PASTORAL DIRECTION
Proclaim the Gospel
In today’s Gospel we find Jesus, as he prepares to return to the Father, meeting his disciples for the last time. His final words give them direction for their future. Perhaps we can recall such parting moments in our own lives – leaving home,
school, college, training, the death of a loved one. What was that like for us? Were
there words spoken then that gave us direction for your future?
We learn, however, in today’s Gospel that some of those gathered doubted
even in the presence of the Risen Lord. We may be shocked that the disciples could
doubt, even in Jesus’s presence. But it should also console us. Doubt helps us ask
questions and helps our faith to grow. It is healthy, it is sometimes necessary; it
reminds us of the mystery of God. We know that the disciples learned and grew
and faced many challenges along the way. It was a very human journey. And so it is for us. Jesus offers
us the assurance that he is with us always, even when doubt clouds our vision.
Perhaps we can identify with Jesus in the story, when as a parent, teacher, or in some other way
we sent someone on his/her way in life knowing we would not be with him or her as in the past. When
did the way we parted help the other to make his or her own way in life?
Jesus told his disciples that although he would not be with them as in the past he would be with them in a
new way right throughout their lives. Have there been times when we were reassured by the love and
support of another even though s/he was not physically present with us?
In parting with his disciples Jesus gave them a mission for the future. Where, when and how did
we get a sense of the meaning and purpose of our own life? How does that sustain us now? Is there any
way in which that purpose ties in with the mission given to the eleven to spread the Good News?
Soon to be canonized Archbishop Oscar Romero wrote:
‘Each one of us has to be God’s microphone. Each one of us has to be a messenger, a
prophet. Where is our baptism? We are baptized in our professions, in the fields of workers, in
the market. Wherever there is someone who has been baptized, that is where the Church is.
There is a prophet there. Let us not hide the talent that God gave us on the day of our baptism
and let us truly live the beauty and responsibility of being a prophetic people.’
We return to today’s feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Fr. Anthony de Mello compares trying to explain the
Trinity to explaining what the color green is like to two men who have been born blind. ‘It’s like soft
music,’ the sighted person explains to the first man. A little later, he explains to the second man. ‘It’s
like soft satin.’ Soon afterwards he finds the two blind men arguing furiously whether the color green
was like soft music or soft satin. And yet, in truth it is more unlike both of these
things than it is like them. In the limited language at our disposal to talk about God,
we are always going to be more wrong than right!

FEAST OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHIRST PROCESSION
out the procession to assist us in singing as
we walk along in this act of worship and
praise.
Sunday, June 7th is the Feast of the
Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
This great Solemnity is an expression of our
Catholic faith in the Real Presence of the risen Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Here at
Our Mother of Confidence Church we will
celebrate this feast with a solemn procession
and Benediction after the 11:00 AM Mass.
Pope Benedict XVI said in his Homily
on for this Feast “this procession represents
an immense public blessing for our city:
Christ is, in person, the divine Blessing for
the world. The procession is a profession of
our faith. He also made the link with this
procession and the procession on Holy
Thursday, when the Blessed Sacrament is
borne from the main altar to the altar of repose. On the Feast of the Most Holy Body
and Blood (Corpus Christi) the Church relives the mystery of Holy Thursday in light
of the Resurrection. We bring Christ, present
under the sign of bread, onto the streets of
our community. We entrust these streets, our
homes and each one of us to His ever present
goodness."
This year we will process out of the
church down the steps turning left and walking to the ramp. We will continue down the
ramp and out to Regents Road. We will proceed up Regents Road to Governor Drive
and then turn left into the second driveway of
the parking lot continuing up the parking lot
to the top of the ramp. We will gather around
the portable altar where we will celebrate
Benediction and thank God for the wonderful
gift of His love and His sanctifying Presence
with us.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
This is an ENTIRE PARISH event. Those
who go to another Mass or are planning to
attend the evening Mass are encouraged to
come and participate in this special procession and expression of faith.
Cars in the parking lot must remain until the
end of Benediction. If for some reason you
are unable to remain, please park in the side
parking lot near Regents Road or on the
street.
Those who would be unable to walk in the
procession may remain in the area near the
ramp where the portable altar will be set up
for Benediction. A few parking spots in front
of the stairs going to the lower level will be
blocked off to allow for the returning procesAt the conclusion of Mass Fr. Mark sion to assemble.
