WHERE IS GOD IN THIS PANDEMIC? WHEN MILLIONS DIED?
God never leaves us, he never abandons us as he promises to be with us till the end of time.
Christ suffered for us
Because Christ suffered for us (1 Peter 2:24), we have both an answer to the question of suffering, and also a strength for the path of suffering (Acts 14:22). Taking up our cross to follow Jesus (Mark 8:34), we know our hope will not disappoint us (Romans 5:3-5), for our Savior has endured suffering first-hand, and even suffers from us (Acts 9:4). We can trust our Good Shepherd to lead us gently through every trial we face (Hebrews 2:18; 4:15-16). As Christ’s sufferings overflow into our lives, we discover that so too does His comfort (2 Corinthians 1:5-7), empowering us to rejoice even in our pain (James 1:2); for in the fire our Savior holds us firm (Jude 24), refines our faith (1 Peter 1:7), and proves us genuine believers (2 Thessalonians 1:4-5) whom He will keep faithful to the end (1 Peter 5:10).

Rejoice
For the Christian, then, there is one final reason why God allows our suffering: to point us back to the sufferings of Christ. Whether our sufferings come from the consequence of sin, the curse of sin, or are a chastening for sin, we view them all through the lens of the cross, and rejoice: “there is now no CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1). Indeed, “our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18). “Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Corinthians 4:17)

The Eucharist: "The source and summit of the Christian life."

"This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh." John 6: 50-51

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (1324-1327), states that "The Eucharist is "the source and summit" of the Christian life. The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch.

The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the Church is kept in being. It is the culmination both of God's action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship, men offer to Christ and through him to the Father in the Holy Spirit.

Finally, by the Eucharistic celebration, we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all. In brief, the Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith: Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and the Eucharist, in turn, confirms our way of thinking."

We encourage those who are not ready or unable to receive Holy Communion, to approach the altar in the communion line, and then cross their arms over their chest to receive a blessing.

What is the Veil Removed?
The Veil Removed is a short film that reveals the coming together of heaven and earth at Mass, as seen by saints and mystics, revealed by scripture and in the catechism of the Catholic Church.
The purpose of the short film is to increase participation and understanding of the Eucharist by igniting amazement through the miraculous beauty of the Catholic Mass.
Do you know behind this UNBLOODY SACRIFICE? What if we could see Jesus, the choirs of angels, and the saints present at Mass? And what if we could see the bread and wine change into Jesus’ Body and Blood?
This really happens at every Mass, every day, in every church across the world! MY LORD AND MY GOD.
