Religious education Weekly Message Week of 8/19/2018

LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
"Show me what is physically different between a host that is consecrated and one that is not." These are words that can be heard on the lips of anyone struggling with faith. Perhaps, they are heard on yours. Physical tests will reveal no difference. The difference is seen through faith. In one sense, it is simple. Either we believe that the risen Christ is present -- soul and divinity -- or we do not. The fruits of faith are the proof. In the Eucharist, God enters into the very depths of who we are. However, it is our choice whether we ignore what He does or act fully upon it. The Eucharist can change us. When people see that we are different, they in turn will themselves believe.
 
Needed: Holy water fonts for the religious ed. classrooms.  Drop them off at the parish office or leave them on the table by the playground entrance. Thank you
