I  WANT  TO  LIVE  IN  YOUR  HEART

Dear Paul, Rita and Friends,
Good morning on the first Sunday of June!  What a beautiful sunny
morning we have again! It rained and thundered last evening and we
even had hail for a short time.

Today is the Feast of the Body and Blood of the Lord and Jesus spoke
about the importance of this feast in my prayer this morning. He
said, "Melvin my brother, I love you. I died for you all, my friends,
because I love you. Today is the Feast of my Body and Blood, the
Eucharist. It is my great gift to each one of you. It is my way of
remaining permanently with you after my resurrection although you do
not see me. In the Eucharist, I am alive in my humanity and divinity
as the Risen One. As my priest, Melvin, you have the power to change
the bread and wine into my Body and Blood as I did at table with my
Apostles on Holy Thursday evening. You give me as food to all those
who believe. Through the Eucharist I come to live in your hearts.
If you receive me in the Eucharist, you are a temple where I make
my home. What great dignity you have, for I, the Son of God and your
Saviour, live in your heart. Always prepare your heart to receive me.
Repent of your sins and receive the sacrament of penance regularly.
Believe that I am truly present in the Eucharist and make acts of
faith in me before receiving. I am your guest who comes into your
heart with many graces to help you. Come often to visit me in your
heart especially through prayer. I instituted the Eucharist as an
expression of my great love for you. I want to live in your heart.
I bless you all."

What a wonderful gift the Holy Eucharist is! In this sacrament Jesus
gives us the gift of Himself. He is truly present in the Eucharist
under the species of bread and wine.
 
The doctrine of the Holy Eucharist is given in John chapter 6. Jesus
tells us that we cannot have eternal life in us unless we take part in
the Eucharist. Here are the very words of the Lord, "Amen, amen, I say
to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood,
you do not have life within you."  We should read this chapter often
especially from verse 22 onward. The Holy Eucharist shows us the great
love that Jesus has for us.

It is wonderful that in many countries throughout the world, Catholics
have perpetual adoration of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. In these holy
places He is adored 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is always
somebody there at all times in adoration. What a blessing this is for a
parish and a diocese! Let us thank the Lord for giving us such a great
gift as the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist and let us take part in it
as often as we can.

I will be at Tignish Parish at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM for the celebration
of the Holy Eucharist this morning. I have a meeting this afternoon at
2:00 and I will go to the wake of a young man this evening whose funeral
I will have tomorrow at 10:30 AM.

May the Lord bless you all and may He make His home in your heart.

Father Melvin
