How could the disciples have been so blind! They walked down the street and listened to Jesus, but they could not even tell it was him! Perhaps it was his glorified, post-resurrected body, or perhaps they were so overcome by the events of the past days that they could not bring themselves to see the truth. But it was not until they invited Christ in and he broke bread for them that they saw who he was. How often do we fail to see Jesus in those around us? Like the old woman in the nursing home not far from where you live. Have we invited her into out heart? Or the rebellious teenager or young single mother: Have we invited them into our home? Or what of the person with HIV/Aids or the old man who is always complaining about life? Have we invited them into our lives. Until we do, we will fail to see Jesus in them. Jesus, who awaits us in the breaking of the bread!
Last Sunday thirteen of our parish youngsters received their First Holy Communion at the 10:00 a.m. Mass. They are: Byron Allen, Collin Black, Marissa Bonney, Chase Busenbark, Holly Camp, Alex Finley, Joshua Gloriod, Jordan Murphey, Charlyn Ortmann, Jordyn Weiss, Billy Whitehead, Adam Williamson and Andrew Williamson.
Congratulations to the children and their families and a big thank you to all who helped prepare the children for this special day. Please remember them in your prayers.

It is our hope that this year’s camp will be an even greater success!
