In the feeding of the five thousand we see the meagre rations never running out until all are fed. In the Eucharist we are given the  Eternal Body and Blood of our saviour. The Grace of God's Body is the food to keep our souls safe in this world. Safe from sin. Safe from Satan. Safe from the pride of mankind which is the source of our failings and our sins.

The responsibilities of our clergy are  made clear today. They are to be the means by which our Lord's legacy for us to be absolved of sin to receive the grace that he died to procure for mankind, is passed on.

             The good the guilty share therein,

 With sure increase of grace or sin,

          The ghostly life, or ghostly death:

Death to the guilty: to the good

Immortal life. See how one food

Man's joy or woe accomplisheth.

The responsibility to teach that we must be without mortal sin to share in eucharistic joy is firmly fixed on the Church for if we do not know this how can we truly know, love and obey to achieve the place reserved for us in the Eternal Joy of adoring Father Son and Holy Spirit and being known "face to face".

Dear Lord as mass is being said in every second of this day around this world let thy Holy Spirit enter into the hearts of the priests and people that belief and love for thy own sacrament is not a vague hope but a firm conviction and reality of our human lives. May Mary who shared her body and blood with the true man Jesus continue her maternal care for us.
