JESUS AS A ROLE MODEL IN SOCIETY: (The Beatitudes continued) “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Once again, Jesus reverses the values of the world. The world says, “Happy are you when people speak well of you.” In the eyes of Jesus, however, approval signifies compromise with the world’s values and agendas. Approval means not success but failure. Remaining true to His values, Jesus experienced opposition & eventually crucifixion. The values by which Jesus lived & died don’t seem to make any sense in the real world. But they are not based on the real world. The values of Jesus are based on what Jesus calls “the kingdom of heaven.” The kingdom of heaven, or reign of God, is the in-breaking of God into the world in unsuspected places and among undeserving people. The kingdom of God is the new world which God is even now creating. Jesus is a role model to society, but not to society as we know it. Jesus is a role model to society as God dreams it to be.

EXPLANATION OF THE PARTS OF THE EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION A weekly continuation for your information LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST Preparation of the Gifts: The gifts of Bread & Wine from the community are offered to the Lord. The prayer requests that they become the Bread of Life and Blood of Christ. Ideally, only the number of hosts needed for each celebration should be offered. Extra consecrated hosts are reserved in the Tabernacle in order to take communion to the sick and for emergencies. Adding a few drops of water to the wine symbolizes two things: One, that the water & blood flowed from the side of Jesus when stabbed with the lance and secondly, that though contained in the same vessel, the water and wine remain separate. This symbolizes the fact that we will never be God but we can get very close to the Lord.
