Corpus Christi
I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever. - John 6:51

Friday, June 6, 2025

As we see the missiles fly between Iran and Israel, we feel for all those in harm’s way and pray for a peaceful resolution to the conflict. When we look to the Hebrew scriptures, we recall a time when these two nations not only were at peace but also supported one another. The prophet Isaiah called the Persian King Cyrus a messiah, an anointed one of God, a title later applied to Jesus (Isaiah 45:1).

Cyrus issued an edict liberating the Jewish people from their Babylonian captivity and funding the rebuilding of the Temple. Clearly, the Hebrew prophets were able to see the hand of God even in the activities of foreign rulers and governments as they interpreted the signs of the times. When they pondered the nature of the promised land itself, the Hebrew prophets are surprisingly universal in their concern for humanity and not just the tribes of Israel. They see the Lord as Lord of all peoples. Other gods were tribalistic, local deities, but the God of Israel was Creator of heaven and earth with a plan for all peoples.

Thus, God’s Temple would be a house for all people, “And foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord . . . them I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer . . . for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples” (Isaiah 56:6-7). Jesus teaches the Samaritan woman that this house of prayer is not a physical location on Mount Zion in Jerusalem nor any other mountain. Instead, in Him and through the Holy Spirit, all people will offer authentic worship to the Father: “The hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem . . . But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth” (John 4:21-23). We followers of Christ no longer demand a territory in the Middle East or a Temple because Jesus is our Temple and His Kingdom is our Promised Land.

He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is our lasting peace. Instead of fomenting war and hatred, will the nations of the world recognize Him?

Father Oscar is in Venezuela and is safe and having a good time. We ask for the continued prayers for his journey and his return to San Pablo Church.

Blessings,
Fr. Daniel Martin
Visiting Priest


Al ver los misiles volar entre Irán e Israel, nos solidarizamos con todos aquellos en peligro y oramos por una resolución pacífica del conflicto. Al reflexionar en las escrituras hebreas, recordamos una época en la que estas dos naciones no solo vivían en paz, sino que también se apoyaban mutuamente. El profeta Isaías llamó al rey persa Ciro mesías, un ungido de Dios, título que posteriormente se aplicó a Jesús (Isaías 45:1).

Ciro promulgó un edicto que liberó al pueblo judío del cautiverio babilónico y financió la reconstrucción del Templo. Claramente, los profetas hebreos supieron ver la mano de Dios incluso en las actividades de gobernantes y gobiernos extranjeros al interpretar las señales de los tiempos. Al reflexionar sobre la naturaleza de la tierra prometida, los profetas hebreos son sorprendentemente universales en su preocupación por la humanidad, y no solo por las tribus de Israel. Ven al Señor como Señor de todos los pueblos.

Otros dioses eran deidades tribales y locales, pero el Dios de Israel era el Creador del cielo y la tierra con un plan para todos los pueblos. Así, el Templo de Dios sería una casa para todos: «Y a los extranjeros que se unan al Señor para servirle y amar el nombre del Señor… los traeré a mi santo monte y los alegraré en mi casa de oración… porque mi casa será llamada casa de oración para todos los pueblos» (Isaías 56:6-7). Jesús le enseña a la samaritana que esta casa de oración no es un lugar físico en el monte Sión de Jerusalén ni en ningún otro monte. En cambio, en Él y por medio del Espíritu Santo, todos ofrecerán una auténtica adoración al Padre: «Viene la hora cuando ni en este monte ni en Jerusalén adoraréis al Padre… Pero viene la hora, y ya está aquí, cuando los verdaderos adoradores adorarán al Padre en espíritu y en verdad» (Juan 4:21-23).

Los seguidores de Cristo ya no exigimos un territorio en Oriente Medio ni un Templo, porque Jesús es nuestro Templo y su Reino es nuestra Tierra Prometida. Él es el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida. Él es nuestra paz eterna. En lugar de fomentar la guerra y el odio, ¿lo reconocerán las naciones del mundo?

Bendiciones,

On the night before giving His life on the cross, Jesus instituted the Eucharist, the gift of his Body and Blood, in the form of bread and wine, as the perpetual passover sacrifice for his followers. This was done in the context of what is traditionally called the Last Supper. The Solemnity we celebrate this Sunday centers on the gift of the Body and Blood of the Lord, which we partake in at Holy Mass (the Eucharist) until the Lord comes again in glory at the end of the ages.

Instituting the Eucharist at the time when the Jewish Passover lambs were being sacrificed, Jesus inaugurated the Christian Passover. As the ancient rite commemorated the freedom of God’s people from slavery in Egypt, so the Christian ritual recalls freedom from sin and death and the gift of new life being offered in and through Christ, who rose from the dead to bring eternal life. A happy echo of this feast is often seen and heard in the rite of First Communion on Corpus Christi Sunday, when children, and sometimes adults, come to receive for the first time the consecrated bread and wine at the Mass, the Holy Eucharist.

Scripture Insights

Today is the Solemnity of Pentecost, when we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and their sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ with the world. This day is acknowledged as the birth of the Church since it is the day when the frightened and confused disciples emerged from the upper room, boldly proclaiming the mighty acts of God through the crucified and risen Lord.

The joyous Solemnity of Pentecost brings the Easter season to a conclusion. In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that his Father will send them the Holy Spirit, and we witness this promise brought to fulfillment in the reading from Acts. How is the Spirit manifested in Acts? It is noisy, powerful, fiery, and enabling. Those who received the Spirit were able to speak in different languages. Thus, “devout Jews from every nation under heaven.” (2:5) who were staying in Jerusalem were able to understand what was proclaimed to them. This event has sometimes been understood as a reversal of the event of the Tower of Babel, a time when people challenged God through their desire for power. As a result, God confused their language and scattered them over the earth.

The power of the first reading is reinforced in the refrain from the responsorial psalm: “Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.” This hymn of praise recognizes God as creator of all and understands that without God’s breath of life, we perish.

Paul’s text from the Letter to the Romans also recognizes the power of God’s life-giving Spirit. Paul reminds us that if we embrace this Spirit, if the Spirit dwells within us, we are children of God and heirs with Christ, we will suffer, but we will also be glorified with him.

Consider the amazing diversity of peoples from the Jewish diaspora who were witness to this first Pentecost. The miracle of them hearing in their native dialects is significant; the miracle could just as well have been that they all understood perfectly one universal language. The Church today is even wider in its diversity of cultures and languages, yet individual Churches are often more insulated than ever from those who are different from them. How can we as Church intentionally seek out or create spaces of cultural and linguistic diversity? How can we practice appreciation for the gifts that each culture and language bring to our liturgies and customs within the Church, as well as to other institutions in our society?

The first Pentecost was not limited to the twelve apostles. Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and other women were surely with them as well. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are showered on all the People of God.

We may be disappointed for want of an impressive majestic display of the Holy Spirit such as wind and tongues of fire in our own lives. Yet we are reassured that equally powerful are the quiet, unseen, mysterious movements of the Spirit. Consider, for example, our prayer that the Holy Spirit descend “like the dewfall” upon the bread and wine at Mass. The dewfall appears gradually while we sleep, yet it leaves the scorched earth rejuvenated and refreshed.

June 28: Saint Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyr Irenaeus, raised in a Christian family, learned the faith from Saint Polycarp who learned from Saint John the Apostle. After Irenaeus’ ordination as a priest, he ministered in modern-day Lyon, France. Around 177, Lyon’s Christian community sent the well -respected Irenaeus to Rome to assist the pope with a theological dispute over a heretical teaching. The mission likely spared his life. While he was in Rome, a severe persecution of the Church in Lyon resulted in the martyrdom of roughly fifty Christians, including the bishop. Upon returning to Lyon, Irenaeus was chosen as the next bishop.

As Bishop of Lyon, Irenaeus was a faithful pastor with a profound understanding of the Gospel. Energetic in his evangelization efforts, he sent missionaries to convert those who adhered to pagan beliefs. As errors concerning the faith emerged, Irenaeus was influential in guiding the newly formed Christian communities. He is known for two writings, “Against Heresies” and “Demonstration of the Apostolic Teaching,” that constitute what is considered the first catechism of the Catholic faith.

Irenaeus explained heretical groups’ errors by demonstrating that the Gnostics employed poor reasoning, borrowed their ideas from popular stories, and rejected the Rule of Faith handed down from the Apostles. He articulated that Christ’s life, sufferings, death, and resurrection were central to human salvation and that we are all saved and made one through Christ’s humanity, being reunited with the Father. Irenaeus carefully expounded on the Old and New Testaments, showing that all could easily understand and embrace the faith handed down from Jesus, to the Apostles, to the wider Church.

In a General Audience, Pope Benedict XVI said: “Irenaeus tells us, there is no secret doctrine concealed in the Church’s common Creed. There is no superior Christianity for intellectuals. The faith publicly confessed by the Church is the common faith of all. This faith alone is apostolic, it is handed down from the Apostles, that is, from Jesus and from God”.

Irenaeus’ teachings aided the early Church in navigating through confusion, and his writings were among the first comprehensive catechetical instructions of the early Church. At the Second Vatican Council, Irenaeus was one of the most quoted of the Church Fathers. In 2022, Saint Irenaeus was declared a Doctor of the Church under the title “Doctor of Unity.” This unique title points Catholics of the East and West to the foundations of faith that we share with every other Apostolic Church and with whom reunification is continuously sought.
