In this mid-summer time, we give praise to God, whose presence we see in the beauty and abundance of all that grows.
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast:

A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A next of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer.

“Do not be afraid”

The above phrase appears many times in the Bible, reminding us that our God is by our side, our source of strength and hope.
In the first reading, we see Jeremiah, despite his difficulties, standing firm: “the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero”. In the Gospel, we see Jesus assuring his disciples that “there is no need to be afraid”. His presence is always near, and he holds us in great love and compassion.
In the words of the psalm:
“In your great love, answer me, O’God,
with your help that never fails:
Lord, answer, for your love is kind;
in your compassion, turn towards me”.

“Proclaim that the kingdom of God
is close at hand”
In today’s Gospel, we see Jesus sending out the apostles to proclaim his message. We are also called to witness to the Gospel and to proclaim by the lives we lead that the Kingdom of God is among us.
In the words of Pope Benedict
“Each of us is the result of a thought of God.
Each of us is willed, each of us is loved,
each of us is necessary.
There is nothing more beautiful than to be
surprised by the Gospel,
by the encounter with Christ.
There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him
and to speak to others of our friendship with Him”

“Follow me”
May you recognise in your life the presence, power and light of your soul.

May you realise that the shape of your soul is unique,
That you have a special destiny here
That behind the façade of your life there is
something beautiful, good and eternal happening.

May you learn to see your self with the same delight, pride and expectation with which God
sees you in every moment.
(John O’Donohue)

Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to his friends saying:
Take this all of you and eat it
This is my body which is given for you
For life and health and happiness
This is my body, my blood, life pumping around my body for you
This meal is my day’s work for you
This is my sweat for you
This meal is a reminder that I was taken from heaven, blessed with a family and friends, broken on the cross and given for you so you will be taken, blessed, broken like bread and given for others
For life, for love.
This meal, this sacrifice of self for others was always about love, never duty or obligation
