Sometimes Catholics choose tostarve themselves by choosing to disregard the Eucharist,THE BREAD OF LIFE.Oh, I know life is super-busy. And yet, parents have chosento raise their children and to nourish them with the Bread of Life.Today we celebrate this new beginning of life with Jesus,who is the Bread of Life.Today we rejoice with these families and pray that they willbe sustained in this spiritual nourishment as they continue tocome and celebrate the Eucharist at mass.With love, Fr.
