 FRATERNITY is celebrating the risen Christ

 He changes times and seasons;
he removes kings and sets up kings;
he gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding.  ~ Daniel 2:21

 Periodically, somebody stops to wonder why Christians celebrate their Sabbath on Sunday when Judaism celebrates it on Saturday.  The answer is hinted at in today’s verse.  God changes times and seasons.  Sunday is a “little Easter.”  Every Sunday is a feast day in honor of the great Marriage Feast of the Lamb that goes on perpetually in heaven and into which we enter at every Mass.  The Church celebrates this final and greatest rest into which God entered after he conquered death on the mystical Eighth Day of Creation.  Let Sunday be a sacrament of the mystery that goes on eternally outside of time:  the Day on which Christ gave us his wisdom and knowledge, overthrew the King of Death, and was crowned the LORD of lords.  ~ Dr. Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins

 Do you believe the consecrated bread is indeed the Body of Christ?

So we, who are many,
are one body in Christ,
and individually members one of another. ~ Romans 12:5
