Feast of Corpus Christi


Short Reflection for the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (B)

Readings: Exodus 24: 3-8; Hebrew 9: 11-15; Mark 14: 12-14. 22-26

Gospel Passage: “While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, ‘Take it; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.  He said to them, ‘This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many’.” Mark 14: 22-24)


Reflection: Corpus Christi Sunday reminds us that we are truly “partakers” of Jesus’ Body and Blood.  We are invited to take and eat, that is, his body and blood in the form of bread and wine. As Jesus is broken and shared for the life of many… so are we! Yes, we, too, are called to be ‘broken and shared’ for the life of others, especially those in need…
