she, Doris Brosnan, was out of town. The women en-

“I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE”
On this coming Sunday, the Catholic Church
celebrates “Corpus Christi Sunday,” the Feast of the
Body and Blood of Christ. 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,

everyone, instituting the Holy Eucharist as the memorial
of His presence with us and his unconditional love to-

these examples, we need to assume that Jesus addresses
WKHEDVLFQHHGVRIKXPDQOLIH¿UVW7KH/RUGLVDOZD\V
and every time present with us with His real presence.
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. Let us remember that
