The Body & Blood of Christ

"Take this and eat", Jesus said, "This is my body. This is my blood, the blood of the covenant which is to be poured out for many." What an extraordinary love Christ has for us that led him to give us this wonderful sacrament through which he is our food and drink. And yet we become so used to the knowledge of it that we can even see it as a burden. But we do the same with our love for one another. In marriage and family life many people feel burdened by the demands of love. In parish life we can settle for a minimum. This week is a very special time to renew the sense of awe that should be ours when we think of the extent of God's love for us and the privilege of our love for one another. It is a week to cry out: "My Lord, and my God" and to say again to each other "I love you".

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Notices for the bulletin are also taken by email to mail@bellaghyparish.com
Please mark this bulletin news and have all notices into the office by lunchtime On Thursdays.


We pray for all who celebrate the Eucharistic mysteries, all who administer the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ and all who receive it, day by day, week by week and year by year. Through the loving nature of this feeding may we all grow in holiness and bring God’s life to all we meet.

This is the blood of the Covenant that the Lord has made with you.

Second Reading Hebrews 9: 11-15
The blood of Christ can purify our inner self from dead actions.
