Our teleconference number is 16467699900, conference ID 10927#. Gospel Message John 6:47-59 Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me It’s interesting that Jesus calls himself food, and drink because food is essential. We die without it. And food is something we take in daily. No one ever has to remind me to eat or drink. I eat food and I drink uids every day–it’s just a question of how much I think that’s what he’s saying here. Jesus is essential to live–eternally. Jesus has said that plainly: “… unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins,” he said. And I think it pleases him when we partake of him daily. When we read about him in scripture, when we connect with other people who love him, when we sing praises to him, and when we pray to him. I know for me, when there’s a day I don’t partake of Jesus I’m signi cantly less than my best (to put it gently). (John 8:24 we need Jesus in the same three ways we need food and drink We need him to live–eternally We need to partake of him daily We need to partake of him thoroughly, for energy, growth, and healing. We need to experience him at the molecular level so to speak We need him in those three ways because, as he himself said “Whoever feeds on my esh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.” John 6:56 Fr.

SMKCP Voice Sunday, February 13, 2022 Saint Conrad of Piacenza Saint Conrad of Piacenza’s Story Born of a noble family in northern Italy, Conrad as a young man married Euphrosyne, daughter of a nobleman One day while hunting he ordered attendants to set re to some brush in order to ush out the game. The re spread to nearby elds and to a large forest. Conrad ed. An innocent peasant was imprisoned, tortured to confess, and condemned to death. Conrad confessed his guilt, saved the man’s life, and paid for the damaged property Soon after this event, Conrad and his wife agreed to separate: she to a Poor Clare monastery and he to a group of hermits following the Third Order Rule. His reputation for holiness, however, spread quickly. Since his many visitors destroyed his solitude, Conrad went to a more remote spot in Sicily where he lived 36 years as a hermit, praying for himself and for the rest of the world Prayer and penance were his answer to the temptations that beset him. Conrad died kneeling before a cruci x. He was canonized in 1625 Re ection Francis of Assisi was drawn both to contemplation and to a life of preaching; periods of intense prayer nourished his preaching. Some of his early followers, however, felt called to a life of greater contemplation, and he accepted that. Though Conrad of Piacenza is not the norm in the Church, he and other contemplatives remind us of the greatness of God and of the joys of heaven https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-conrad-of-piacenza Weekly Bulletin 3 . lf . if . .lfififlfif .
