Today, Catholic Christians celebrate the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, more commonly called Corpus Christi in the past. On this day, we read:
“While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, ‘Take it; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, ‘This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.’ Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives’” (Mark 14; 22-26).
For over 2,000 years, Catholic Christians have treasured the gift of the Eucharist (Mass) and Holy Communion, Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. In fact, the Church leaders at the Second Vatican Council noted that the Eucharist is the “source and summit” of Christian spirituality.
In the above photo, we see Fr. Renán Carrillo López holding a chalice and paten before celebrating Mass in the church San Martín de Porres in Cacaguá, a community of Curarén, F.M., Honduras. The chalice and paten were gifts from the Knights of Columbus in Stow, Ohio.
