This year the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ falls on June 3rd. The feast—also known as

Corpus Christi (Latin for “Body of

Christ”)—originated in France in the 13th cen-tury through the efforts of St. Juliana of Liège and was extended to the Universal Church by Pope Urban IV in 1264. In the US the date is set on the Sunday after Trinity Sunday. While we meet the Lord in the sacrament of the Eucharist in every Mass, the focus of Cor-pus Christi is to remind of us of his real pres-ence in the Blessed Sacrament and his role as the head of the Church, the Body of Christ. In his 2017 homily for the Solemnity, Pope Fran-cis explained that the “Eucharist is flavored with Jesus’ words and deeds, the taste of his Passion, the fragrance of his Spirit. When we receive it, our hearts are overcome with the certainty of Jesus’ love…The Eucharist also reminds us that we are not isolated individu-als, but one body. The Eucharist is not a sacra-ment ‘for me’; it is the sacrament of the many, who form one body, God’s holy and faithful people. Saint Paul reminded us of this: “Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one

bread” (1 Cor 10:17). The Eucharist is the sacrament of unity.” As part of this Solemnity, we are also reminded that the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament—whether in the tabernacle or ex-posed on the altar—is a continuation of the adoration which occurs at every Mass, "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb." Devo-tion toward the Eucharist—outside of Mass and in accord with liturgical norms—is en-couraged “to extend the union with Christ that the faithful have reached in communion.” This may be done in silent adoration before the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle or in the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benedic-tion.

For the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, all are invited to spend some time in Eucharistic adoration on June 3

rd. It is a wonderful opportunity to extend

our communion with Jesus and each other as the Body of Christ. The Blessed Sacrament

will be exposed after the 9am Mass for silent adoration and reposed before the 11:45am Mass. Creative adoration, led by Fr. Zaldy

Norba, will start at 1:30pm. Come be inspired by our Lord’s gift of self!
