Today's Reading
The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ


Moses said to the people:
"Remember how for forty years now the LORD, your God,
has directed all your journeying in the desert,
so as to test you by affliction
and find out whether or not it was your intention
to keep his commandments.
He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger,
and then fed you with manna,
a food unknown to you and your fathers,
in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD.

"Do not forget the LORD, your God,
who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
that place of slavery;
who guided you through the vast and terrible desert
with its saraph serpents and scorpions,
its parched and waterless ground;
who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock
and fed you in the desert with manna,
a food unknown to your fathers."

 
(DT 8:2-3, 14B-16A www.usccb.org

The Summer Business Institute (SBI) is a week-long summer program for rising high school juniors and seniors at The Busch School to immerse them into entrepreneurship and business leadership through the lens of Catholic Social Teaching. From Sunday, June 18th through Friday, June 23rd, high school students interested in business will have the opportunity to dive hands-on into business principles, competitions, and leadership applications, while experiencing a taste of college life in Washington, D.C. Last year, 70 students from around the country participated, and we are looking forward to having just as successful a summer this year! I was also a camp counselor last summer, and the camp was such an incredible example of what the business school at CUA has to offer.
