28 July 2024 - Bulletin Reflection - 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

As we have been celebrating the Eucharistic renewal in our country these last couple of years and as I have been working on my project as a part of the Eucharistic renewal with the University of Notre Dame as forming the inmates as Eucharistic missionaries in the prison environment as a part of our Catholic prison ministry, I have come to appreciate different aspects of the Eucharist. This week, the Gospel tells us of the multiplication of the loaves and the fish. Next week, in the Gospel, Jesus will explain to us that he is the bread of life. The Eucharist goes way beyond our reception of the host at Mass. It goes beyond our prayers in Eucharistic adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. May we see the connection to the Eucharist in the meals and fellowship we share together. Those moments are truly Eucharistic encounters. Have a blessed week everyone - Father Lincoln.
