* SUNDAY REFLECTIONS *
We live in a society where nothing holds our attention for very long…… A news story breaks and suddenly it is being covered live by every cable news station. But like fireworks that brighten the sky for a mo-ment, that story soon goes dark and something else seizes our interest. A politician says something deemed “politically incorrect” and the social media explodes with comments and reaction. But in a few days what was the hot topic barely registers in the digital world. Apple announces the introduction of its latest electronic device and eager customers vie to be the first to buy this newest, must-have item. But like all things, what is new today is old to-morrow, and then tomorrow’s device comman-deers our interest. A new self-help book is published and the me-dia hails its author as the guru with life’s an-swers. But as the book fades from the best seller list, a new spiritual guide is anointed, proclaiming a superior way to success and hap-piness. Nothing holds our attention for very long. We look for the new and the novel. Then when we find it, we quickly become bored and run after something or someone else. In fact, much of our economy is based on the fact we never seem to be satisfied or content with what we have. That dissatisfaction and restlessness that keeps us running from one thing to another will re-main until we appreciate a simple fact. We came from God and we were created to go back to God. It is only in a relationship with God that we find true meaning, genuine fulfill-ment, and lasting peace – what John’s Gospel describes as eternal life.
Jesus Christ is the surest path to such a rela-tionship with God. In the Gospel this week-end Jesus makes that point by speaking of himself as the food and drink that we need if we are to have true life. As he says, “Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.” It is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a relationship that Jesus dramatically describes as our sharing his very flesh and blood that we come into a relationship with God. As Jesus puts it, “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.” Until we have a relationship with God founded in Jesus Christ and nourished by his very body and blood, our attention will always be jumping from one thing to another. We were made to be focused on God. We were made for him! © 2015 Rev. Thomas B. Iwanowski, Looking To Sunday®

Retreat for Married Couples, Sept. 28 - 30 This weekend is intended for couples married at least 10 years. It honors and celebrates the commitment of marriage.

ANSWER THE CALL: The US bishops invite the faithful to join a movement of prayer and sacrifice for the pro-tection of life, marriage, and reli-gious liberty in our country. Serious threats to each of these have raised unprecedented challenges to the Chur-cAh and the nation. When confronted
with challenges, our Lord calls us to sacrifice and pray. Go to http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/take-action-now/call-to-prayer/index.cfm and follow the links to learn more about how you can answer the Call.

“Watch carefully then how you live, not as foolish per-sons but as wise…” (EPHESIANS 5:15) A wise person recognizes that all we have and all we are comes from God. A wise person thanks God continually throughout the day for all His many blessings. A wise person realizes that God has blessed us for a reason and that He wants us to help Him build His kingdom of earth.
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
The effect of receiving the body and blood of Christ
is to change us into what we receive.
