Catholic Faith Question and Answer Forum
The website:

you can explore just a little of the great mystery of our faith.
Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame. —1 Peter 3:15-16

Stewardship Reflections
June 6, 2021
Feast of Corpus Christi“Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them and they all drank from it.” - MARK 14:23
Jesus, the perfect steward, gave thanks, just before He gave Himself up for us, completely for our salvation. He offers us the same chance to drink from His cup. In the bread and wine, we meet Christ personally. If we follow Him, drinking from His cup means our own self-sacrifice, using all of our gifts for the benefit of others and to do His work on earth.
6 de junio de 2021
Fiesta de Corpus Christi“Entonces tomó la copa, dio gracias, y la pasó a sus discípulos y todos ellos bebieron de ella.” - MARCOS 14:23
Jesús, el perfecto administrador, dio gracias, justamente antes de entregarse a Sí mismo por nosotros completamente para nuestra salvación. Él nos ofrece la misma oportunidad para tomar de Su copa. En el pan y el vino, nos encontramos personalmente con Cristo. Si lo seguimos, beber de Su copa significa nuestro propio sacrificio personal, utilizando todos nuestros dones para el beneficio de los demás y para hacer Su trabajo en la tierra.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
O my sweet Jesus, I believe that you are truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
I love you above all others and above all things. I earnestly desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, I pray
that you will please come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there, and unite myself to you with all my heart and soul.
I pray that you will never permit me to be separated from you. Amen
CONTRITION – Perfect and imperfect
IN THE ABSENCE OF CONFESSION. . . Remember your First Confession and being taught we must be sorry for our sins to be forgiven?
There are two types of sorrow (contrition) for sins.
-Imperfect Contrition -- focus on ourselves, fear of even greater punishment. –
Perfect Contrition -- focuses on the Other. Not the fear of hell, rather offending One who is all-loving. Perfect Contrition focuses on the relationship rather than the sin, the Redeemer rather than oneself.
Why seek out the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
-Personal abandonment to the Mercy and Grace of God
What about now with the pandemic and “shelter in place?” - Rely on the words of Psalm 103:8, “Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in mercy.”
- With Perfect Contrition, seek the Lord.
- Allow His Grace to penetrate the core of your being.
-Earnestly pray an Act of Contrition. - Resolve to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as soon as possible.
-Continue to restore your relationship with the Lord.
-Be confident that His Love is greater than our offenses; His mercy is everlasting.
