Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and
Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)
Each of the readings this weekend, Exodus, Hebrews,
and Mark’s Gospel uses the word covenant – promise.
Jesus’ promise to be with us always is fulfilled in the
Eucharist. At the Passover meal, Jesus took the bread;
blessed it, broke it, gave it to his disciples, and He gave
it to us. We are blessed to eat the Bread of Life when
we gather for Mass as a faithful, faith-filled community,
but Eucharist doesn’t end at the closing hymn. We are
sent forth to spread the Good News: Go!
The Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of
Christ), also known as Corpus Domini, is a Latin
Rite liturgical solemnity celebrating the tradition and
belief in the body and blood of Jesus Christ and his
Real Presence in the Eucharist. It emphasizes the joy
of the institution of the Eucharist, which was observed
on Holy Thursday, in the somber atmosphere of the
nearness of Good Friday.
In the present Roman Missal, the feast is designated
the solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
The feast is liturgically celebrated on the Thursday
after Trinity Sunday or, “where the Solemnity of the
Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is not a holy day
of obligation, it is assigned to the Sunday after the
Most Holy Trinity as its proper day.” At the end of
Holy Mass, there is often a procession of the Blessed
Sacrament, generally displayed in a monstrance. The
procession is followed by Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament.
A notable Eucharistic procession is that presided
over by the Pope each year in Rome, where it begins
at the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran and makes its
way to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, where it
concludes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son

Medjugorje Pilgrimages 2015
On June 25, 1981, in the mountain village of Medjugorje
in Herzegovina, Our Lady appeared to six children. She
identified herself as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace,
and continues to appear to several of the visionaries. Her
mission is to promote peace with God and mankind, through
her Son, Jesus. Mary’s own words to the children explained,

Monkey Business
When Paddy's dog died, he took it to the local
Catholic church. He asked the preacher if he could
have a funeral service for his much loved pet, but
the preacher explained that they didn't do services like
that for animals. Paddy asked who would and the preacher
suggested that the Baptist church up the road would probably
give the dog a funeral service. Paddy asked, “Preacher, do
you think $5,000 would be enough payment for the dog’s
funeral?” The preacher relied, “Dearest Paddy, why didn’t
you tell me that your dog was a Catholic?”
Food for Thought – C.S. Lewis
“I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything
else.”
“The Christian does not think God will love us because
we are good, but that God will make us good because He
loves us.”
