Anthony De Mello Quotes
“Perfect love casts out fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependency. I do not demand that you make me happy; my happiness does not lie in you. If you were to leave me, I will not feel sorry for myself; I enjoy your company immensely, but I do not cling.”

20 SUNDAY – Aug 19 - Homilies
'Anyone who eats this bread will live forever.' These words of Jesus from today's gospel set the tone of our celebration today. We who share this meal share in the life of Jesus. And as he says: 'As I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me.'
This is not some magic formula, rather it is the mystery that our sharing here is not simply joining us to one another in the way that every common meal unites those who participate in it, but that in our sharing here we are caught up into the life of God. We are caught up into the life of the Father, who has sent his Son among us as our source of life and wisdom, and who has sent his Spirit into our hearts.

Introduction by the Celebrant
What keeps people alive and growing and healthy? For their
body, it is food and drink. Yet even for their body not only food and drink is
needed but also the nourishment of love and security. What do we need to keep
us going as Christians? It is our trusting faith in God. That faith is kept
alive and growing in us through our close relationship with Christ. He
nourishes this faith and love in us with the food and drink of his word and
with the strength he brings us through the Eucharist; this is our
"viaticum," our food and drink for the road of life. It gives us the
courage to stand up for what is right and good. Let the Lord Jesus give us in
this Eucharist the food and drink of his word and his body.
