How much more (Corpus Christi Solemnity)

June 7, 2015 6:00 am

“… how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.” (HEB 9: 14)

Created by God the Father, redeemed by God the Son and sanctified by God the Holy Spirit, we are unconditionally loved by the Holy Trinity. We respond to it by “worshiping the living God” and respecting the Body and Blood of Christ “who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God.” Today our cities and towns are decorated for Him to welcome Him into our lives and to invite Him to stay with us. Our Lord’s Body and Blood not only redeemed us and gave us new lives but also nourishes us through Holy Communion. When we follow Him in the Procession after the Blessed Sacrament, we worship Him and commit to loving Him more and more.
Him more and more.

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever.” (Gospel Acclamation)
