Letter from Father Ron Rolheiser, July 5, 2020
Dear parishioners,
In today’s gospel, Jesus invites us to come and “rest” in him. How much effort do we make to actually “rest” our bodies from the burdens of daily life? I present to you Fr. Rolheiser’s beautiful reflection on this important topic:

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Click here to print An Act of Spiritual Communion
