Tabernacle of the Week

ST. COLUMBKILLE CATHOLIC CHURCH

CLEVELAND, OHIO
ESTABLISHED: 1956


PASTOR: REV. NEIL D. O'CONNOR


If the people of ancient times showed such reverence and devotion to God in the presence of the Ark of the Covenant, how much greater should be the reverence and devotion to Your presence in the Blessed Sacrament paid by me and all Christian people, as also in the receiving of the precious Body and Blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Many people travel great distances to visit the relics of Saints and marvel on hearing of their remarkable deeds. They gaze upon magnificent churches dedicated to them, paying homage to their blessed remains, wrapped with silk and covered with gold.

But You, my God; the Saint of saints, Creator of all things, and Lord of Angels, are here present on the altar before me!

O God, the invisible Creator of all the world, how wonderful are Your ways with us!
From the Imitation of Christ, Book 4 No. 8-10

Peace be with you!
