Mystical Word | Jesus’ Body and Blood Are One With The Divine I AM
Reflecting on Sunday's Gospel reading from John, L.J. Milone writes, "Jesus is the Bread from Heaven who gives life to the world. For the next five weeks, we will reflect on this theme as found in the Gospel of John chapter 6 since these are the Gospel readings that the church proclaims at Sunday Mass through the end of August. Jesus communicates his own experience of God, his own divine life – the life of heaven – to all who believe in him and ingest his life as bread and wine. We begin with the story of the multiplication of the loaves." READ THE REFLECTION

Online Registration Open
Our Faith Formation Office invites online registration for St. Matthew's Adult Initiation (OCIA, or Order of Christian Initiation) and for our Children's Faith Formation and Sacramental Preparation programs for the upcoming year:
Call for Catechists
For the Children's Faith Formation 2024 - 2025 year we need two catechists. If you are interested in serving as a catechist, please email L.J. Milone, Director of Faith Formation, or call him at 202-347-3215 x 530.
A catechist is a person of faith who hands on the living experience of the Gospel, which is the mystery of God’s love for us. A catechist, most importantly, prays. The catechist also studies the Gospel, spiritual texts, and theology, develops appropriate teaching skills and nurtures his or her spiritual life and personal faith formation. Could this be you?

Meditation on Zoom
Drop in for a meditation session offered by L.J. Milone twice a week on Zoom (Sunday afternoons at 1:30pm and Wednesday evenings at 8pm).
Eckhart on Unity with God
Available on demand on our website
Access on demand videos recorded in 2023 by L.J. Milone on German mystic Meister Eckhart and his teachings on "gelassenheit" or releasement (meaning letting go/letting be) as the key to unity with God. L.J. is the author of "Nothing but God: The Everyday Mysticism of Meister Eckhart."
