20th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B) - For the Ride Home

•Wisdom has built her house. (Proverbs (9:1)
•I sought the Lord, and he answered me. (Psalm 34:11)
•…be filled with the Spirit… (Ephesians 5:17)
•…whoever eats this bread will live forever. (John 6:58)

•How do you live the Eucharist in parish life?
•How does the Eucharist become part of your very essence so that you become one with Jesus?

Had I understood always as I do now, that so great a King resided in my soul I should not have left him alone so often, but should have stayed with Him sometimes and not have kept his dwelling place in such shambles. (St Teresa of Avila)

Pray wholeheartedly, though you may feel nothing, though you may see nothing, yes, though you think that you could not, for in dryness and barrenness, in sickness and weakness, then is your prayer most pleasing to me, though you think it is almost tasteless to you. And so is all your living prayer in my sight. (Julian of Norwich)
