To
Receive Holy Communion at
Home
For
anyone who is not able to come to a
weekend Mass for whatever reason-they are
encouraged to phone the parish office and
invite the priest or a Eucharistic
Minister to the Homebound to bring them
Holy Communion. This applies, also, to
someone who is recuperating from surgery
or other illness.
It is
important that the request comes from the
patient, or someone who has been asked to
act for the patient. For someone from the
parish office to inquire can seem quite
intrusive and/or offensive. Unless the
parish office is notified there is no way
we can know who is ill, in the hospital,
moved to a convalescent residence or gone
home to God. Since the privacy law was
enacted, this information cannot be made
available to members of the Parish Staff
by the hospital. Either the individual
himself/herself or a designated member of
the family , who can speak for that
person, must make the
request.
Reflections
GOSPEL:
John
11:3-7,17,20-27,33b-45
Those of us who have lost a beloved family
member or friend know how Martha and Mary
must have felt. Their brother Lazarus
died. And Jesus did not protect them from
the pain of mourning. In fact, Jesus wept,
too, and was deeply troubled. But death is
never the end of the story for Jesus or
those who believe in him.
“I
am the resurrection and the life,”
Jesus tells Martha. At Jesus’
command, Lazarus, all bound up in burial
wrappings, slowly emerges from the tomb.
What a scene that must have been! And what
a promise to us!.
1.)
This story is seen as a foretaste of the
resurrection of Jesus, and of our own
resurrection, too. During the weeks of
Lent, we are preparing to celebrate
resurrection. Do you see any
“foretastes of resurrection joy”
around you? In nature? In the love of your
family and friends? In the care and
concern of neighbors? In your own heart?
If you do, you will be following in the
footsteps of Jesus and all the
saints.
2.)
These signs of resurrection may not be as
dramatic as Lazarus’ rising from the
dead, but they are just as real. How many
do you experience? Keep looking for them
this
week!
