The Gospel for the next few weeks will come from John chapter 6, the chapter where Jesus most extensively teaches on the Eucharist. Fr. Mattingly will spend the next few weeks (aside from Aug. 15, as he will be out of town) preaching on various aspects of the Eucharist.

Listen to the homily from August 8 to hear how to best prepare to receive Most Holy Communion. Fr. Mattingly shares some very practical tips on how to prepare remotely, prior to coming to Holy Mass. And how to prepare while at Mass, prior to receiving the Blessed Sacrament! 

Father Andrew Mattingly is a priest for the Diocese of Kansas City – St. Joseph. He is currently the associate pastor at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, as well as the diocesan director for young adults and campus ministry.
