CORPUS CHRISTI
The Feast of Corpus Christi originated in 1246 when Robert de Torote, bishop of Liege ordered the festival to be celebrated in his diocese. He was persuaded to initiate the feast by St. Juliana, prioress of Mount Cornillon near Liege (1222-58), who had experienced a vision of a full moon with one dark spot on it. It was revealed to her that the full moon represented the Church and the dark spot symbolised the fact that a great feast in honour of the Blessed Sacrament was missing from the liturgical calendar. When Jacques Pantaleon formerly archdeacon of Liege became Pope Urban IV he ordered the whole Church to observe the feast with the promulgation of the Bull ‘Transiturus De Hoc Mundo’ (1264). Urban’s order was confirmed by Pope Clement V at the Council of Vienna (1311- 12). Pope Urban had also been influenced by the ‘Eucharistic Miracle of Bolsena’ when the Precious Blood flowed from the host during Mass being celebrated by Fr. Pietro da Praga (1263) who was struggling with belief in the Real Presence. By the mid-14th century the festival was generally accepted and in the 15th century it became, in effect, one of the principal feasts of the Church.

SACRED HEART NOVENA 30th May – 7th June Lord Jesus Christ, your heart was moved with love for those who came for help in their need. You healed the sick, you fed the hungry, you forgave sinners, you cried over Jerusalem. Above all, you showed to those who were prepared to listen the way to true life, for you are the Way, the Truth and the Life. Lord, your heart is still moved today by your people and their many needs. Open my heart to hear your word, to accept your love and to respond to your call. In particular, I beg you to grant me the favour I ask during this Novena (make your request silently), provided that it will contribute to my own eternal good and to the building up of your kingdom of love, peace and justice here on earth. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

Prayer Before an Examination Dear Lord, as I take this exam, I thank you that my value is not based on my performance, but on your great love for me. Come into my heart so that we can walk through this time together. Help me, not only with this test, but the many tests of life that are sure to come my way. As I take this exam, bring back to my mind everything I studied and be gracious with what I have overlooked. Help me to remain focussed and calm, confident in the facts and in my ability, and firm in the knowledge that no matter what happens today you are there with me. Amen.
All in June A week ago, I had a fire to warm my feet, my hands and face; Cold winds, that never make a friend, crept in and out of every place. Today the fields are rich in grass, and buttercups in thousands grow; I’ll show the world where I have been … with gold-dust seen on either shoe. Till to my garden back I come, where bumble-bees for hours and hours sit on their soft, fat, velvet bums, to wriggle out of hollow flowers. By William Henry Davies
