SOLEMNITY OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI)

God our Father, whose Son our Lord Jesus Christ in a wonderful Sacrament hath left unto us a memorial of his passion: grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries of his Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of his redemption; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

EUCHARISTIC PROCESSION

O Blessed Host, in golden chalice enclosed for me, That through the vast wilderness of exile I may pass - pure, immaculate, undefiled; Oh, grant that through the power of Your love this might come to be. O Blessed Host, take up Your dwelling within my soul, O Thou my heart's purest love! With Your brilliance the darkness dispel. Refuse not Your grace to a humble heart. O Blessed Host, enchantment of all heaven, Though Your beauty be veiled And captured in a crumb of bread, Strong faith tears away that veil. - from the Diary of Saint Sr. Faustina (Kowalska) of the Blessed Sacrament, titled Divine Mercy In My Soul .

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. (Although known most widely in its abbreviated form above, the entire prayer reads as follows...) Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next. Amen.

Commitment

Monday of the 15th week - (Matthew 10:34-11:1) The La Salette cemetery, located in our Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette in Cavite, is not only a place of our dead brothers in the community. But, it is also a place of prayer and meditation. It is a place of our faithful missionaries who sacrifice their lives to tireleslly make the message of our Lady know to all the world. It is a place where we are reminded of our destiny after we are done with the vineyard of the Lord. And it is, above all, it is a place of God who lavishly shared with us His divine love. Whenever I visit the Shrine, I always stop by the cemetery to say a prayer for those lying in rest there. And what inspire me to stay and reflect in that place is the presence of our American La Salette priests and brothers. These missionaries made a solemn commitment to stay and die in the Philippines --their place of mission, after they decided to leave everything behind, their families and country, for the sake of the kingdom
