Transformation I

I think this is the second to the last posting on Cardinal Burke's excellent book. I want to move on to other things.

There are so many excellent ideas in it, I suggest you buy it.

One point I want to share concerns the transforming power of the Eucharist in our lives. Cardinal Burke, again referring to Sacramentum Caritatis, notes that Christ in Holy Communion transforms our entire life, every nook and cranny.

He writes, "Through our participation in the Eucharistic Sacrifice, we come to understand that we cannot compartmentalize any aspect of our life, in order to keep it from the transforming grace of Christ's Real Presence."

The persons who take Communion begin to think like Christ and act like Christ. As every person is transformed, all human activity may be transformed and finally, the transformation of the world.

Is this not what we all desire, deep down inside, to be changed in every way, to be purified, to become perfect, in union with the Beloved, Jesus Christ?

Papal Call for Holy Hour on Sunday for Corpus Christi

http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/pope-francis-to-lead-global-holy-hour/

All parishes and all people have been called by the Pope to take part in a Holy Hour on Sunday, at 4-5 British time.

Please take part in this, and pray for pro-life issues, as the Pope wants all the join him in prayer. Here is a snippet:

....intentions proposed by the Pope. The first is: “For the Church spread throughout the world and united today in the adoration of the Most Holy Eucharist as a sign of unity. May the Lord make her ever more obedient to hearing his Word in order to stand before the world ‘ever more beautiful, without stain or blemish, but holy and blameless.’ That through her faithful announcement, the Word that saves may still resonate as the bearer of mercy and may increase love to give full meaning to pain and suffering, giving back joy and serenity.”

Pope Francis’ second intention is: “For those around the world who still suffer slavery and who are victims of war, human trafficking, drug running, and slave labour. For the children and women who are suffering from every type of violence. May their silent scream for help be heard by a vigilant Church so that, gazing upon the crucified Christ, she may not forget the many brothers and sisters who are left at the mercy of violence. Also, for all those who find themselves in economically precarious situations, above all for the unemployed, the elderly, migrants, the homeless, prisoners, and those who experience marginalization. That the Church’s prayer and its active nearness give them comfort and assistance in hope and strength and courage in defending human dignity.”

Pray for the Adoration, Latin Mass community and house for Walsingham.

Here is the announcement from Westminster:

Description:	The Feast of Corpus Christi - Holy Hour (Eucharistic Adoration with Pope Francis)
Time:	16:00
Venue:	Westminster Cathedral
Postcode:	SW1P 1QJ

May I add that I hope priests and deacons follow the rules on Eucharistic Adoration. There are many abuses here in Great Britain concerning the set-up of Christ in the Monstrance.
