Last news from the United States. The Mountaineer. Summer 2021

Dear Friends,

The month of June has so many beautiful liturgical feasts: The Body and Blood of Christ, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, and Saints Peter and Paul. It is a month brimming with graces for the taking.

I would like to zero in on the first one, Corpus Christi. This feast does not mark an event in the life of Christ, but a reality and tenet of our faith, the belief in the Most Holy Eucharist. As consecrated persons the Mass is an essential part of our very being. How could we live without it?

It is the moment of deepest union with our Lord and Savior, with the one who has chosen us as his very own.
