The Unveiled Beauty
Eating is a very powerful way of changing another substance into our own.
Food, when eaten and digested, is transformed into our own flesh and bone
and brain cells. But when we eat the bread which is the Body and Blood of
Christ, it is Christ who transforms us into himself, making us into the
Christ-persons which our name ‘Christian’ calls us to be, and
indeed presupposes that we are. Baptism is sometimes called ‘Christening’;
this is a very meaningful word: Christening, it means our becoming transformed
into Christ. The Eucharist is a most powerful means for being thus transformed
into Christ. Julian of Norwich spoke of being ‘substantially oned’
with Christ. The purpose of adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament is to
become more and more ‘substantially oned’ with Christ, so that,
as St Paul puts it, for us to live is Christ, and the life we live is the
‘life of Christ who lives in us’ (cf. Gal 2:20).

Month of the Sacred Heart
June is traditionally the month of the
Sacred Heart. The love of the Heart of
Jesus gathers a family into one. The occasional renewal of the following
act of dedication by the family praying together will increase the joy and
the peace of the home.
Lord Jesus Christ, today we renew the dedication of our family to your Sacred
heart. We remember your love for us. We pledge our love in return, placing
you at the centre of our hearts and of our home. We wish to live our lives
in union with you and share your mission of love with all men and women.
Lord Jesus Christ, accept this dedication and keep us always in your Sacred
Heart. Amen

SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE
GOSPELS
John 6:51-58
1. Jesus tells us that to have life we need more than physical nourishment.
How have you been aware of deeper hungers? What has met that deeper longing
in you?
2. Jesus tells us that it is not just something he gives us which will give
us life, but himself in his life, death and resurrection. How has your faith
in the person of Jesus fed you?
3. Jesus speaks about ‘drawing life’ from him. In day to day
living what are the practices which support your faith and help you to draw
life from Jesus?
4. The Eucharist is one of the ways in which we draw life from Jesus. Recall
with gratitude how the Eucharist has been a source of nourishment and life
for you.
5. Perhaps you can also think of human examples of people drawing life from
one another. From whom have you drawn life? Who has been able to draw life
from you?
