If you lean with all your weight upon Providence, you will find yourself well-supported. Leave the past to the mercy of God and the future to His Providence. Do not press matters; be patient, be trustful - St. Mother Theodore Guerin
So what are we called to do as Catholic Christians by this Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ we are celebrating today? We are called to: (a) acknowledge and honor the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist; (b) to thank God for remaining with us through the gift of His Son in the Eucharist; and, (c) to be grateful to God for feeding and strengthening us with the Body and Blood of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
My dear brothers and sisters, as we celebrate the Solemnity of St. Peter and St. Paul today, let us strive to follow their footsteps and example of faith by truly hearing and answering our call to discipleship; by sacrificing all for Christ and His gospel; by working hard in our spiritual lives to change our weaknesses to strengths; and by being always firm and faithful to God in all we do.
My dear friends in Christ, let us listen to Jesus in today’s gospel reading and try our very best to fight hypocrisy in all its forms by being transparent, reliable and trustworthy in leading others closer to God; by being loving, kind, understanding and sympathetic towards our brothers and sisters; and lastly, by being honest, sincere, hardworking and efficient in our spiritual lives so as to bear good fruit that will last.
