It's easy to fall into a routine and lose sight of the little miracles all around us. Unfortunately, it is even easy to fall into a routine and lose sight of the greatest miracle of all, happening right in front of us.
Today, Fr. Mike discusses the greatest gift God has ever given man: himself. Christ offered his body at the Last Supper, he sacrificed it on the Cross, and he continues to give himself to us at each and every Mass. Fr. Mike explains the shocking reality of what it means to eat Jesus' body and drink Jesus' blood. This flesh, the Incarnate Word of God, redeemed the world. His body and blood are what save our fallen human nature and they are what give us life. This miracle, occurring each time we go to Mass, gives us an opportunity to partake in redemption, unite with our Savior, and live a sacramental life.

I can say as a Vietnam Veteran 1970-71 that I am hear today doing God’s work for Suicide Prevention Awareness among our Veterans for a purpose . Many of my comrades never came home. I did ! I always ask why ? Through the body and blood of Christ , I know what Jesus sacrificed for us , and I firmly believe He continues to walk with me through this life. Suffering many ailments as I age , I know receiving his body and blood in Holy Communion gives me hope and strength to do good works for others in His name and will always guide me through any suffering. I feel it everytime I pray or everytime I receive his body and blood. God Bless
