Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (A)

Dhikr for the Corpus Christi Sunday (A)

Reading: Deuteronomy 8: 2-3 - 3: 14b-16a; 1 Corinthians 10: 16-17; John 6: 51-58

Text: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." (John 6: 51)

Meditation: The Feast of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ reminds us of the price of redemption.  He broke his body and shed his blood that we may have life!  Thus when we eat his body and drink his blood we share his life.

Today, we, too, journey through arid ways and arduous paths. At times, this journey is characterized by hopelessness and near despair, but in the midst of all these,  we know believe that through the Body and Blood of Jesus, the Lord, we know that we can find the way.
