CORPUS CHRISTI

The feast of Corpus Christi is a great festival of Catholic faith. All over the world Catholics mark this feast with wonderful displays of devotion including processions, floral tributes, adoration and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.  We sing wonderful hymns that celebrate the Real Presence of Jesus among us in the Holy Eucharist.   The feast calls us to a deeper devotion to Jesus present in the Blessed Sacrament and to spend more time with him in adoration.

The Eucharist is food for our Christian lives.  Through it we are united with Christ and he shares his life with us.  When we receive the Body and Blood of Christ we are sharing in a special way in the saving passion and death of Jesus.  He loved us so much that he freely gave his Body and Blood on the cross for us.

The Eucharist helps us to become more like Christ who loved us and gave his life for us. From him we learn the essential lessons of Christian love, forgiveness, compassion and service.  By receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion we become the living members of Christ’s body, the Church in the world today.

As we celebrate this beautiful feast and receive the Body of Christ in Holy Communion, we pray that we will become more and more like Christ and bring his love and mercy to the people we meet wherever we go.
