Dear Parishioners,
The Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) is the second of the two Feasts of the Lord in Ordinary Time on the church calendar. Trinity Sunday, last week, was the first. It is a day set aside especially to proclaim our belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, a uniquely Catholic feast day.
It has always been the belief and teaching of the church that when Jesus took bread and wine at the Last Supper and said the words “This is my body, this is my blood” he meant it. Each time a priest says those same words over bread and wine the very same miracle takes place: the elements really and truly become the Body and Blood of Christ. It is not just a sign or a symbol, but truly the Real Presence of Jesus, given for and to, us. This is how the Lord remains with us until the end of time, and it is the ultimate reminder to each of us of our unity in faith and our unity in charity with each other.
Today’s feast also reminds us of our obligation to become Christ’s presence in the world. As we receive His Body and Blood, we are transformed into His image and must now become His representatives to all people.
In a few days, the Bishops of the United States will be formally consecrating our country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in honor of our 250th Anniversary. All are welcome to join this devotion, please see www.usccb.org for more details or www.rcan.org for information on our local Archdiocesan celebrations.
On another note: now that we are past Memorial Day, our thoughts turn to vacation. It does not matter if we go around the block, or around the world, it is good to get away. Unfortunately, somethings never go away such as the parish bills. Like Jesus, they are with us always until the end of the age. Before you go away, please consider sending your offerings to the parish office, or, once you return, please make up for the weeks that you were gone. We really need it, and as always, thank you for your ongoing generosity.
Fr. Armand
