Today, we are celebrating the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Sacrament of the Eucharist or more commonly known as the “Corpus Christi Sunday”.

Let us be reminded of words that Jesus Himself had said in the Gospel of John…
John 6:50-56
50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread thatcame down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”
52 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, “How can this man give us His flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.54 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My bloodabides in Me, and I in him.
Let us celebrate this feast with great adoration and focus on the Real Presence of our Lord to the highest form of worship – the Holy Mass!
