US Council of Catholic Bishops statement on the Eucharist "Happy are those who are called to His Supper: PDF file

 2 Peter 1:5-7 Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. - "Whenever we find ourselves bombarded with accusations over past sins, with demeaning reminders of our weakness, unworthiness, or uselessness, we can turn to the blood of Jesus for protection and Satan must flee! His temptations, his accusations lose their grip, and we are restored to the truth once more of who we are in Christ. Deliverance is ours, even as Jesus rejoices over us all because we have called upon the power of his blood!" (from the Word Among Us)

Think About It!

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,
 
Lord, I would like to know what Heaven
And Hell are like."

The Lord led the holy
Man to two doors. He opened one of the doors
And the holy man looked in. In the
Middle of the room was a large round
Table.
 
In the middle of the table was a large
Pot of stew which smelled
Delicious and made the holy man's mouth
Water.

The people sitting around
The table were thin and sickly. They
Appeared to be famished. They were
Holding spoons with very long handles
That were strapped to their arms and
Each found it possible to reach
Into the pot of stew and take a spoonful,
But because the handle was
Longer than their arms, they could
Not get the spoons back into their
Mouths.
The holy man shuddered
At the sight of their misery and suffering.

The Lord said, "You
Have seen Hell."

They went to the next
Room and opened the door. It was exactly the
Same as the first one.  There
Was the large round table with the large
Pot of stew which made the holy man's
Mouth water. The people were
Equipped with the same long-handled
Spoons, but here the people were
Well nourished and plump, laughing 
And talking.

The holy man said, "I don't understand."

It is simple" said
The Lord, "it requires but one skill. You see, they have learned to feed each other,
While the greedy think only of
Themselves."

When Jesus died on the cross he was
Thinking of you!

 Only 7% of the people
Who read this will share it with others. 93% of people won't forward this!
  
 HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND PASS IT ON!!!!!
