June 11, 2023: Solemnity of the Body & Blood of Christ
Blessed and holy Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ or the day traditionally called Corpus Christi. Today we recall the reality of what we receive in the Eucharistic Feast of heaven and earth where we recognize and take the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ into our own body where we are called to carry Him into the world.
“Becoming Eucharistic People” is the hope of every Christian and of every person. A person of thanksgiving, joy and service to the other is at the center of who we are. “The heart of a Eucharistic culture—even one created by a parish—is reverence. Reverence means placing the love of Christ at the center of everything we do. This reverence is learned first and foremost in the Mass.” (p. 19)...

Bendita y santa Solemnidad del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo nuestro Señor, o como tradicionalmente se le conoce: día de Corpus Christi. Hoy recordamos esta gran verdad de lo que recibimos en la Fiesta Eucarística del cielo y la tierra, donde reconocemos y tomamos el Cuerpo y la Sangre, el Alma y la Divinidad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo en nuestro propio cuerpo y estamos llamados a llevarlo al mundo.
“Convertirse en personas Eucarísticas” es la esperanza de todo cristiano y de toda persona. Una persona de acción de gracias, alegría y servicio al otro está en el centro de lo que somos. “El corazón de una cultura eucarística, -incluso la creada por una parroquia- es la reverencia. Reverencia significa poner el amor de Cristo en el centro de todo lo que hacemos. Esta reverencia se aprende ante todo en la Misa”. (pág. 21)..
