Corpus Christi Sunday




Readings: Genesis 14: 18-20; 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26; Luke 9: 11b-17

Selected Gospel Passages: “Give them some food yourselves. Five loaves and two fish are all we have. Now the men there numbered about five thousand. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and he blessed them and broke them and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. They all ate and were satisfied”.

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 are invited to share and break bread with those with none.  When we share our blessings – our bread and cup with the poor, then we shall understand the meaning of Jesus breaking and sharing his life that all may have life.
