Sunday, June 14, 2009 - Happy Flag Day

Our little buddies stayed over last night. They love to come and take a bath in our tub and sleep in our bed. It won't be long until they're too big for that. Clay is starting school in the fall. The time has gone by way too fast. They just left to go fishing with Mom and Dad.

Not much planned today. The family is celebrating the 90th birthday of a relative, but I have Mass so I won't be able to go. I think I'll make some candles today. And work on some Christmas presents.

Word of the day:
The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) - Solemnity
Today the Church celebrates : SS. Vitus, Modestus and Crescentia, Martyrs
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 14:12-16.22-26.

On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?" He sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. Follow him. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"' Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there." The disciples then went off, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover. While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
