Today, Catholic Christians celebrate the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. In the past, this feast was more commonly called Corpus Christi.
In the Scripture passage we have today from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians, we read:
“Brothers and sisters; I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes” (1 Cor 11: 23-26).
For 21 centuries now, Catholic Christians have treasured this beautiful sacrament that Jesus gave us. If we “are what we eat” as nutritionists tell us, when we take Christ into ourselves, we should become more and more like Him. How incredible a thought!
