The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
Readings Genesis 14:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
The Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ draws us into the heart of our faith, where divine love becomes tangible in the Eucharist, the living sign of the new and eternal covenant. In every Mass, Christ offers not a symbol, but Himself, broken and poured out for us, so that we may be united with Him and with one another in a bond that transcends time and space. Just as Melchizedek offered bread and wine as a foreshadowing of this mystery, and as Saint Paul reminds us of the sacred tradition handed down, we are invited to receive this gift not as routine, but with awe and gratitude. The Eucharist is where heaven touches earth, where grace renews us, and where the Church becomes one body, nourished by the same divine life. To partake in this sacred meal is to be drawn deeper into love, sacrifice, and unity, a communion that sends us forth to become what we receive: Christ for the world. Let’s reflect: The Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ celebrates the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the renewal of the covenant at every Mass, and the unity of the Church through shared communion in His love.
