Know Him in the Breaking of the Bread
THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
-Deacon Alvin Clay
An excerpt from Sunday's homily
Do you recognize the pattern: a gathering of people, proclamation and explanation of scripture, breaking of the bread, and dismissal?
The road to Emmaus events constitute what is arguably the first Mass after the Resurrection, with Jesus Christ as the Presider. The Mass is not simply a reenactment. It transcends time and place.
When the priest consecrates the Eucharist, we are at the Last Supper. As he lifts up the bread and the wine, we are at Calvary. Jesus is with us. His real presence is with us not just metaphorically, but coursing through our veins.
How do we participate more fully in the Mass when we are so used to coming every week as a matter of routine? Preview the readings beforehand, do some research/spirtual reading on the Mass, be aware of the Mass while we are there, in spite of all the worldly thoughts and concerns that are spinning in our head.

New at our Preschool......
Baptism Suppers
Our newest members of the parish are celebrated at the monthly Baptism Suppers at the rectory. For families who have not attended a Baptism class, our priests host a dinner where they can answer the questions of the new parents and get to know them before the baptism of the baby. A 'presenting couple' is also there to add their experiences to the evening.
We are always looking for volunteer presenting couples. For more information contact the office: churchoffice@iccjenkintown.org
