THE PASTOR’S CORNER
From the Catholic News Agency:
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is also known as the
Solemnity of Corpus Christi, which translates from Latin to "Body of Christ." This
feast originated in France in the midthirteenth century and was extended to
the whole Church by Pope Urban IV in 1264.
This feast calls us to focus on two manifestations of the Body of Christ, the
Holy Eucharist and the Church. The primary purpose of this feast is to focus our
attention on the Eucharist. The opening prayer at Mass calls our attention to
Jesus' suffering and death and our worship of Him, especially in the Eucharist.
At every Mass our attention is called to the Eucharist and the Real Presence of
Christ in it. The secondary focus of this feast is upon the Body of Christ as it is
present in the Church. The Church is called the Body of Christ because of the
intimate communion which Jesus shares with his disciples. He expresses this in
the gospels by using the metaphor of a body in which He is the head. This image helps keep in focus both the unity and the diversity of the Church.
The Feast of Corpus Christi is commonly used as an opportunity for public Eucharistic processions, which serves as a sign of common faith and adoration.
Our worship of Jesus in His Body and Blood calls us to offer to God our Father a
pledge of undivided love and an offering of ourselves to the service of others.
