CORPUS is a ministerial faith community, rooted in a strong Eucharistic commitment, promoting an expanded and renewed priesthood of married and single men and women in the Catholic Church.
CORPUS, celebrating thirty-four years of service to the people of God, is one of the oldest reform groups in the Catholic Church, and is active in reform movements both in the U.S. and abroad.
Thought for the week
"My Lord:
Teach me to seek you, and reveal yourself to me as I seek;
for unless you instruct me I cannot seek you,
and unless you reveal yourself I cannot find you.
Let me seek you in desiring you;
Let me desire you in seeking you.
Let me find you in loving you;
let me love you in finding you."
- St. Anselm of Canterbury.

 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Two or Three...
Where do we find the true presence of Christ? Christ is in our midst when we work together to right wrongs. Forgiveness and justice should characterize the community; if it does, others will recognize something unique about the church and might even recognize Christ alive and active in our midst doing what others may believe impossible.
Labor Day--All Work is Holy
Labor Day in the United States is the first Monday in September. It has been a federal holiday since 1894. Its original purpose was to honor and recognize the unionized work force. The evolution of the holiday, however, has eclipsed blue-collar workers and their unions. It has evolved into a gigantic national barbecue – even at our country clubs. Labor Day is a major holiday. It’s a watershed date on our calendars, but its blue-collar origins have been forgotten. It’s now an end of summer feast.

Apostles Wives' Club
NEW There are many sites for married priests, but few, if any, for wives of married priests. Priest wives have long been ignored in the celibacy discussion. They have had no voice or power.

This could bring tremendous healing where it is needed and a stronger sense of the right of priest wivews to be who they are.
