The Power of the Eucharist

They all ate and were satisfied.  Luke 9:17

When you leave Mass are you satisfied?  Do you feel full?  Jesus is the bread of life broken and shared so that we may never hunger again.  Not only did the five thousand eat and w were full, but they had twelve wicker baskets full of fragments.  The five loaves and two fish that they started with would have filled a quarter of a basket, and there were twelve baskets left which represents the twelve tribes of Israel.  We have the ability to attend Mass everyday to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, we join in Communion with the church to believe what Jesus did on the Cross was for our sake, for our salvation as we received the Eucharist.  The Mass is our sacrifice where we obstain from eating one hour prior to receiving the Eucharist. I encourage you to look to receive Jesus with same fervor as that with which Mary his Mother did, what would that look like if you came to believe as Mary?  Start by looking to The Holy Spirit to continue the ministry of Jesus today through the Body of Christ.

Lord Jesus, may the Eucharist be my power in the battle of life and the power of my intercession for souls. As I receive You in Holy Communion, help me to offer my little sufferings to You for the sake of souls.

The crowds were amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.” But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the prince of demons.”  Mathew 9:34 In the 'me culture' of today's society we fail to recognize Jesus.  There is so much ridicule that happens for one good thing that people fail to appreciate the good.  'If I appreciate that what will people say about me?'  Jesus did not care what people said, He continued on to complete his mission to the other towns and villages.  We live in a 'me culture' where we look at situations that happen around us and we ask what is in it for me, not what can I do to help.  We definitely do not live in a JOY filled world where Jesus is first, Others are second, and Yourself last.  Jesus did not let the doubt of the Pharisees dimish his message he was sent to bring.  He called for the master to send more laborers for the harvest.  There are people waiting to be invited, be strong in your faith.  The

My witness

Lets open with a prayer. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen. Lord Jesus, I believe in your presence in my life, family and those here today. I believe that you ask nothing of me that you do not give me the strength to do. I trust in the power of your grace and the care of your love. I love you, Lord, and I wish to love you with this prayer so that I may work according to your will and in your love. Amen Good Morning ~ Some of you may not know me, my name is Cory Sommer. I have been a member of St. Michael Catholic Church since 1999. When Pete asked if I was interested in giving my witness back in January, my immediate thought was am I ready, and after praying about it, I said yes but I still will probably read this word for word as that is where I am at right now. My second thought was, if I am ready, what are the daily readings for Mass for the day and what is God trying to teach me at this moment in my life. So if you know me you know that, and

You do not need to change I need to change...

Instead of you posting garbage to try to change the world, why don't you pray to God to change you?  Ask him to start in your soul and then pray to him to change your heart.  Believe me when I tell you, you do not have the ability to change the world, but you do have the ability to change you. Oh God I adore you, I give myself to you, may I be the person you want me to be and may your will be done in my life today....
