Dear Friends,
CORPUS CHRISTI: I have always especially appreciated this feast. From the days I was an altar boy in my home parish, from the processions on this feast as a young high school seminarian, from 54 years as a priest celebrating the feast in monasteries and parishes, this is one of my favorite feasts. I grew up in a Dominican parish. St. Thomas Aquinas’ great love for the Eucharist was evident there. Paul of the Cross, lover of Christ Crucified, also connected His love for Jesus in his Passion to the Eucharist, “The Memorial of the Passion.” Our Passionist Rule, coming directly from St. Paul of the Cross, states: “The daily celebration of the Eucharist is central to the Life of each community. In as far as possible, we celebrate it together every day as the fundamental action of community life…The Eucharist is a divine reality that transforms their lives.” I know that section by heart. It says everything. Today is a beautiful feast!
Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists, always wished his monasteries to be places of hospitality. The same applies for our retreat center. We have a variety of retreats for men, women, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and many day events as well.
