Pastor’s Desk on the 18th Sunday of Ordinary Time, year B

Many people ask me how I am doing and "what’s next" with my condition. For the time being nothing has changed. I am still paralyzed from the waist down.

Why Confirmation Matters
Jennifer Brinker
Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation in the Church. It is often referred to as the “sacrament of maturity,” as it completes the process of initiation into the Christian community, and it matures the soul for the work ahead. The Church teaches that confirmation is necessary because it enriches the person with the strength of the Holy Spirit to build up the Church and to be witnesses of Christ to others...
The Reception of Holy Communion at Mass
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
The Church understands the Communion Procession, in fact every procession in liturgy, as a sign of the pilgrim Church, the body of those who believe in Christ, on their way to the Heavenly Jerusalem. All our lives we who believe in Christ are moving in time toward that moment when we will be taken by death from this world and enter into the joy of the Lord in the eternal Kingdom he has prepared for us. The liturgical assembly of the baptized that comes together for the celebration of the Eucharist is a witness to, a manifestation of, the pilgrim Church. When we move in procession, particularly the procession to receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Communion, we are a sign, a symbol of that pilgrim Church "on the way."
