Can you think of a time when you were most in need? Whether the need was physical, emotional or spiritual, we have all experienced a time, in our jobs or in our family life, when we didn’t have enough of a particular good that we desired. What we had at the time was not sufficient for the task at hand.
Este domingo el evangelio de San Juan capítulo 6 nos presenta la multiplicación de los panes como el signo más grande de la llegada de Jesús al mundo. Jesús demuestra su poder mesiánico y la gente no lo comprende y más adelante evita el contacto con la gente para dedicarse a la formación de sus discípulos. La escena del milagro se desarrolla en el mar de Tiberiades o de Galilea.
We're excited to kick off this new section with a spotlight on Rebecca Gonzalez (Class of 2019) -- the daughter of Development's very own Rita Gonzalez -- who is featured on the cover of Looker magazine.

Dear Friends in Christ,
On the weekend of August 3rd and 4th, 2024, there will be a second collection taken in our parishes for the Seminary Burse Fund. This fund assists future priests in their formation. The annual collection will be taking place on the feast of St. John Vianney, August 4th, as a beautiful way to remind us of our own seminary here in our own backyard.
In the 24th chapter of Luke's Gospel, we see how Jesus accompanies the two disciples from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Throughout the encounter, Jesus breaks open the Scriptures, and it was at the breaking of the bread that the disciples first recognized Jesus. During this time that our country has been undergoing a Eucharistic Revival, we too are encouraged to see the face of Jesus in the breaking of the bread. At every Mass, as the priest offers the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus to us, we are taken back to that moment in Emmaus where our hearts were burning as we recognized the real presence of Jesus. By your generous contribution to the Seminary Burse Fund, you facilitate the seminarians' ability to give of themselves to their studies, and to be the priests you deserve. It is in the seminary that they are first accompanied by the Lord, so that they can accompany you.
I thank you for your generosity in contributing to the Burse Fund, and I ask for your prayers that many young people in our Archdiocese will embrace a vocation of service to the Church in responding to the call of the priesthood or religious life.
Donate to the Seminary Burse Fund
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Thomas Wenski
Archbishop of Miami

The Last Supper of our Lord was on a Thursday. In honor of this major event in the life of Jesus and His Church, the parish of Saint Gregory the Great offers weekly Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm every Thursday, concluding with a solemn benediction ceremony at 8:50 pm.
Many have been partaking of this blessed opportunity. All are encouraged to receive the grace which comes from spending time with our Eucharistic Lord. All are welcome on Thursdays to pray and adore.
There will be no adoration on August 15th, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.”
This teaching was so shocking that many of his followers left at that moment! Jesus did not call them back to clarify, because he knew they understood correctly. He was actually telling them to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
As Catholics, we believe Jesus’ words literally, not symbolically. The substance of the bread and wine transform into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ at every Mass. We call this miracle the Eucharist.
It's an exciting time to be Catholic! The National Eucharistic Revival is a movement to restore understanding and devotion to the Eucharist: The greatest gift God has ever given to humanity and the very source of our strength. Encounter the reality of the Real Presence, and fall in love with your faith like never before.
