The Day of Thanksgiving for the Institution of Holy Communion (Corpus Christi)

Lord Jesus Christ,
we thank you that in this wonderful sacrament you have given us the memorial of your passion: grant us so to reverence the sacred mysteries
of your body and blood that we may know within ourselves and show forth in our lives
the fruits of your redemption; for you are alive and reign with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Pouring out of the Spirit Today we celebrate the birth of the Church through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. So, with a joyful voice, we can acclaim Happy Birthday Church! We stand on the shoulders of giants. On the foun…

Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. (Philippians 2: 2-4, 14-16)

“God of my ancestors and Lord of mercy,
by your word you have created all things,
and in your wisdom you have fashioned man
to have power over all the creatures you have made,
to govern the world in holiness and righteousness,
and to mete out justice with an upright heart.

Grant me Wisdom, who sits beside your throne,
and do not exclude me from the number of your children.
“For I am your servant and the son of your handmaid,
a weak man with but a short time to live
and with lacking comprehension of justice and law.

Indeed, even one who is perfect among the sons of men
will be of no account if he lacks the Wisdom that comes from you. (Book of Wisdom 9:1-6)

Good Shepherd Sunday (John 10: 11-18)

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This is the command I have received from my Father.”
