I recently had the privilege of attending the National Eucharistic Procession in our diocese, in Ontario with two bishops and many priests of our diocese and the diocesan priests of Boise. Some of WKHUHÀHFWLRQVWKDWFDPHWRP\PLQGZKLOHZDONLQJZLWK the Lord in the procession are given here. The Holy Eucharist is the parting gift of the Lord Jesus to us before His departure to the Father. Be- fore He left this world, He instituted the sacrament of Holy Eucharist, as well as the Sacrament of Priesthood, DQG DVNHG +LV GLVFLSOHV WR GR WKLV LQ +LV PHPRU\ IRU eternity.

In the last judgment scene, too, we read, “Come you that are bless- ed by my Father!

He is always available to satiate the hunger and thirst of human beings. Do we approach Him for physical food or spir- itual food? As human beings, we cannot live on bread alone. We need more than food to live. I am remind- ed of the words of St Augustine: “It is no use feeding on Christ with our teeth if we are not feeding on him with our minds” - that is by faith.
