Solemnity of Body and Blood of Christ - A (June 14, 2020)


Food of Eternal Life

Last Sunday, Trinity Sunday, we learned that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Today, on this Solemnity of Corpus Christi, we celebrate this gift of eternal life that is now present to us in the gift of the Eucharist. 

Jesus tells us that God’s gift of eternal life is found in Jesus, “the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

Let’s pray that we might continue to deepen our love and appreciation for the Bread of Eternal Life.

May parents, catechists, educators form in children and young people this love through their words and examples.

And let’s pray for more vocations to the priesthood, and may priests allow Jesus to form them in holiness.
