This Sunday is the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, ‘Corpus Christi’, and in the Gospel (Luke 9:11-17) we listen to the story of Jesus feeding the crowd with 5 loaves and 2 fish. Jesus had made the crowds welcome and talked to them about the Kingdom of God. Instead of sending them away, when it grew late, he sat them down, raised his eyes to heaven, blessed the food and broke it to share with the large crowd.

In the same way, we come together at Mass to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. When we share the Eucharist, which means “thanksgiving”, we remember the meal Jesus shared with his friends the night before he died when he broke bread and shared it with his disciples. We are nourished and strengthened to go out and live good lives. 

Congratulations to all our students who participated in the Sacramental Programme with the Holy Spirit Parish last week. It was lovely to see so many family and friends gather for this wonderful occasion.

This week at Holy Spirit, we value stewardship. The earth and all life on it are part of God’s creation and we are called to respect this gift. We are responsible for taking care of the  world we live in and for sharing all the wonders and resources the earth gives us. This week we pray our students be stewards of God’s creation. 

Have a great week. 

God bless
