“I am the living bread that came down from heaven”
“Yo soy el pan que vivo que ha bajado del cielo”
The last few Sundays we have heard a reoccurring theme which revolves around the Eucharist as it is the Spiritual food that satisfies us. There are many things in this world that offer and promises us happiness and satisfaction, but through the words of our Lord we know that it is only the bread that He offers, that can feed us and satisfy us. It spiritually feeds us as we make our journey to heaven.
“This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.” John 6: 51
With that said WE ARE SO EXCITED to share with you that last Sunday was a busy week at our mission post.
Since our arrival in 2019 we have been blessed to journey with three different communities and prepare them to receive sacraments. (Which has not been easy with COVID, and the many times we have had to stop and restart classes due to the virus and government mandates)
However, when God is in charge nothing is impossible!
Last Sunday we were blessed to call out our Priest’s to two of the communities to celebrate Mass and 11 Baptisms and 16 people receive the Body of Christ for the very 1st time. We are still working with those who will receive confirmation and the sacrament of marriage in October and November. So, stay tuned.
We are so blessed by God’s love for us and His undying love for his beloved poor! And for his gift of His Son Jesus and for all of YOU back at home who continue to pray and support Jesus’s mission here.
Thank you and God Bless!
