Father Jim Radloff
Up at 4:30 am each day for prayer, Father Jim soon discovered that others were also seeking to start their day with a short inspirational quote from the Bible. So taking advantage of Social Media, he began sharing with others the fruits of his early morning prayer amongst Sacred Scriptures. Using Lectio Divina with the daily readings from the Catholic Mass, Father Jim was now presenting a reflection that could help people throughout their day. We are happy to share these thoughts with you.

THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
(Mark 14:23-24) “Jesus took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, ‘This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.’”
When people make a covenant in the Bible, they are joined together and identified with each other, making two into one. Jesus establish His everlasting covenant to bring us closer to Him, for us to become one with Him, and for Him to become one with us. We really are what we eat when we share in Holy Communion.
