Reflecting on God’s Word
I came across a little book not too long ago that offered a selection of “B and Bs” (“Bed and Breakfast” residences) where travelers
could stay in a certain state. The promise of a good “B and B” is a clean place, a good night’s sleep, and a good meal to begin the
day. In short, rest and sustenance.
Is it too irreverent to propose that today’s feast is a reminder that we believers have available the “B and B” of all “B and Bs” in the
Eucharist? This sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ offers an ongoing opportunity for rest and sustenance with the Lord.
Today’s scriptures all deal with offering sustenance, beginning with Melchizedek presenting Abraham a little bread and wine along
with a blessing. Then there is Paul reminding the fractious Corinthians how eating the bread and wine sustains them as they proclaim
the death of the Lord until he comes. Finally, Jesus provides rest and sustenance for his disciples, along with five thousand others
who show up.
My late stepfather worked off a truck, checking gas meters and doing repairs for the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company. He used
to stop in a church and have his lunch there. He said it provided him a chance to talk to the Lord and rest for a few moments in the
Lord’s presence. It sustained him over the years. Again, rest and sustenance.
God’s ongoing hospitality in the Eucharist has continued over generations to offer rest and sustenance. What could be better than
having the Lord coming to dwell within us, giving us the nourishment necessary to sustain us on our journey?
—James A. Wallace, C.SS.R.

The LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
till I make your enemies your footstool."
The scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion:
"Rule in the midst of your enemies."
"Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor;
before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you."
The LORD has sworn, and he will not repent:
"You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek."
R: You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
Today’s Readings
Second Reading (1Cor 1123-26)
Gospel Reading (Lk 9:11B-17)
First Reading (Gn 14:18-20)
Paul briefly narrates the earliest
account of the institution of the Eucharist. Paul states that though not
personally present, he received this
as a tradition handed on to him, that
Christ left us a memorial of his total self-giving sacrifice for us all in
the bread and wine, symbolic of his
body and blood. To do this in
memory of Jesus means that disciples are to model Jesus in offering
their lives in self-giving sacrifice
on behalf of others. Whenever we
celebrate the Eucharist and give of
ourselves for others, we proclaim
Christ’s life-giving Death until He
comes again.
The multiplication of the loaves
and fishes appears in all four Gospel accounts, testifying to its importance for Jesus’ followers. It
became the clearest story associated with Eucharistic celebrations
and the corresponding demands
that celebrating Eucharist places on
all disciples. Jesus invites us as he
did his disciples not to dismiss others, no matter how challenging. In
so doing, we are to bring what we
have to the Lord, ask for God’s
blessing and proceed to take care of
all in need. Jesus assures us that
not only will we have enough to go
around, but we will have plenty left
over
The priest king Melchizedek of Salem
who blesses Abram and God Most
High for Abram’s victory over his foes
is a mysterious person who appears
once and is not heard of again in the
Abraham narrative. Salem means
peace, and is understood to refer to
Jerusalem, the city of peace that David
made the spiritual and political capital
of Israel. In bringing out bread and
wine for the offering, Melchizedek
prefigures Christ’s offering of himself
in the symbols of bread and wine. Today’s feast celebrates that sacrificial
gift which Christ left us, and recalls its
prefigurement in the offering of the
priest-king of Salem, Melchizedek.
SUMMER MASS SCHEDULE
As you are aware Fr. Chiaravalle no longer resides at St. Cornelius but at
the Villa St. Joseph for retired priests. I was hoping for a replacement for
Fr. Chiaravalle, however I was informed by the Archdiocese that no priest
will be assigned for the foreseeable future. Presently we have five Sunday
Masses, of which I celebrate three and the Oblates have taken two in recent weeks. I have asked the Oblates to permanently take two Masses,
but because of aging and diminishing numbers, they are only able to handle one Mass a week.
After consulting with the Parish Council, the Finance Council and
Stewardship & Development, they have recommended, and I have accepted their recommendation, that we move to an experimental summer
schedule which will consist of the following Masses; Saturday Vigil
5:00 PM, Sunday 8:30 AM, 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM beginning June 19.
If a priest becomes available for assignment to St. Cornelius, then we can
re-visit the schedule.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this period of
change.

“To love God and neighbor is not something abstract,
but profoundly concrete: it means seeing in every person the face of the Lord to be served, to serve him concretely. And you are dear brothers and sisters, the face
of Jesus.”
(Pope Francis, Address during visit at “Dono Di Maria”, Homeless
Shelter 5/21/13)
Saint Cornelius’ eighty volunteers are receiving information by email about volunteer opportunities at
two Host Churches for a week at the end of May
and at the end of June. In the future, the Host Church
that we will regularly be supporting is Kennett Presbyterian, 211 S. Broad Street. They are completing a
church renovation project, so we will partner with them
four times a year once the project is completed. If you
would like to start volunteering at the Family Promise
Day Center, 105 W. Evergreen St., West Grove, PA
19390, you may call Susan Minarchi /ED at: 610-3451100 or email at sminarchi@familypromisescc.org to

organization for homeless families. Southern Chester
County has signed up to be one of nearly 200 countrywide affiliates. Throughout the year, families are
housed at 13 different Host Congregations, with the
help of Support Congregations, for one week, four different times a year.

ON CARE FOR
OUR COMMON HOME
“What is your HOUSEHOLD
CARBON FOOTPRINT?”
From Global Catholic Climate Movement,
ECO-PARISH GUIDE for “BRINGING
LAUDATO SI TO LIFE”:
A household carbon footprint is the total
amount of GHG (greenhouse gas, or
CO2e – carbon dioxide equivalent) that
can be attributed to the choices, actions,
and life styles of the members of a household. In developed countries (such as the US), a large part of the foot
print comes from indirect sources, especially energy used
to produce consumer goods and services….
Household and personal carbon footprints are highly individual and depend on location, housing, transportation, and
other personal habits and choices.
What is your “HOUSEHOLD CARBON FOOTPRINT”? To
estimate your household and personal carbon footprint, you can
use the following calculator developed by the US EPA:
https://www3.epa.gov/carbon-footprint-calculator/
If you are like me, and consider yourself living a “simple consumerists lifestyle,” you will be shocked to find out that your
lifestyle requires more than four globes to sustain, or put simply: our family energy emissions are FOUR TIMES beyond the
capacity of our earth to regenerate the energy and emissions we
generate!
From the above Eco-Parish Guide: TOP 5 GHG EMISSION
REDUCTION IDEAS FOR HOUSEHOLDERS:
1. Dress for the weather and dial back the thermostat (winter),
or dial up (summer).
2. Walk, cycle, ride public transit, or carpool instead of driving a car.
3. Buy only energy efficient lights, devices and appliances,
and turn them off when not in use.
4. Eliminate waste by reusing, recycling, composting, and
purchasing only what is needed.
5. Forego unnecessary air travel.

REFLECTIONS OF
FIRST COMMUNION 2016
It has been a good year preparing the children in Faith
Formation for the Sacrament of First Eucharist. I am
grateful to our outstanding Catechists, Mrs. Huntley, Mrs.
Haynes, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Hurford, Mrs. Totorello, Mrs.
Ricci, and Miss Patselas who worked diligently with
these children.
I am especially grateful to Monsignor Parlante for bringing these children closer to Jesus through the Blessed
Sacrament. This year we had quite a few children with
special needs that received Jesus for the irst time. Monsignor Parlante was so instrumental and patient with
these children and their families. We are all blessed by
Monsignor’s care for all his children in this parish.

SACRAMENTS
Sacrament of Baptism - Congratulations! In
co-operation with God’s creative love, you have
given your child breath and now you wish to give
them Real Life through the sacrament of Baptism.
You will be your child’s first teacher in the ways
of the Faith. During your pregnancy, to help you
prepare for this responsibility, you are requested
to participate in a Baptismal Preparation Class.
Classes are held the First Sunday of each month
at 12:15 pm in the Bethany Room - Prior registration required. Please contact Deacon Wirth at
(610) 459-2502.
Sacrament of Penance - Saturday at 4:00 pm
Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick - Please
notify the Parish Life Center when a relative is sick or
hospitalized. The sacraments of Penance, Eucharist
and Anointing of the Sick are a joy and privilege to administer.
If you know you are going to the hospital for surgery,
please notify Msgr. Parlante and he will be glad to
Anoint you after Mass.
Sacrament of Holy Orders - Jesus said that
Sacrament of Marriage - The love between a hus-
we are to pray to the Lord of the harvest, that
workers will be sent at harvest time. The best
way to promote vocations to the diaconate and
priesthood is to invite those men whom you
would consider would make a good priest or deacon. If you feel the Lord might be asking you to
be a priest or deacon, Msgr. Parlante or one of the
Deacons will always be available to answer your
questions and give direction.
band and wife images for us the love of Christ and his
church. What a powerful and awesome thing is the call
to the sacrament of Marriage! To assist couples to enter this sacrament, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia requires at least six months of formation prior to the reception of the sacrament. Those who wish to receive
the Sacrament - please call the Parish Life Center to
make an appointment to see Msgr. Parlante to begin
your sacramental preparation.
Congratulations for responding to God’s call to Love.
A Parish of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia
