Corpus Christi

The Solemnity of the Body and Blood

of Christ

“Take it; this is my body...

This is my blood of the covenant,

which will be shed for many.” (Mk. 14:22,24) Last Sunday, the Church celebrated Trinity Sunday. On

Pentecost Sunday the Holy Trinity was fully revealed to us as Jesus sent

the promised Holy Spirit upon his Apostles and disciples and to the entire

Church. The life of God would be fully made known to all believers. So,

it is most appropriate that on the Sunday after Pentecost the entire

Church praised and honored the Trinity in whose life every member has

been baptized!

Living the life of the Trinity, a life of communion in the love

of God, brings us to the reality of the Sacrament of the Body and Blood

of Christ. This gift of Jesus of himself to us at the Last Supper nourishes

us spiritually in our journey to the heavenly kingdom so that we can

grow in that very love which is the communion of the Mystery of the

Trinity. Jesus said: “Amen, Amen, I say to you unless you eat the flesh

of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within

you.” (Jn. 6:52) This Solemnity of Corpus Christ itself draws us closer to

know Jesus in his real presence in the Holy Eucharist as we ponder and

meditate upon this wondrous sacramental mystery of Christ.

The origin of the Solemnity of “Corpus Christi” is connected to

the intense devotion to the Blessed Sacrament during the twelfth century.

At this time the consecrated host began to be elevated at the consecration

of the Mass as we are accustomed today. Bishop Robert of Liege,

France, introduced this feast into his diocese in 1246. In 1264 Pope

Urban IV extended it to the entire Church. Soon, thereafter, processions

through the towns with the Eucharist became commonplace with

blessings being offered. This devotional custom has come down to us

today. Corpus Christi, then, is a joyful celebration of thanksgiving for

the Eucharist as the fruit of our redemption in the Paschal Mystery of

Christ. (The Lit. Year.,Adam, p.171) whereas the Church commemorates

the institution of the Eucharist on Holy Thursday in connection with the

events of Good Friday and the Passion of Christ.

On February 22, 2007, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI issued a

beautiful Apostolic Exhortation on the Eucharist (Sacramentum

Caritatis) in which he states: “The Eucharist reveals the loving plan that

guides all of salvation history (cf. Eph 1:10; 3:8- 11)...God is a perfect

communion of love between Father, Son and Holy Spirit...But it is in

Christ, dead and risen, and in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, given

without measure (cf. Jn 3:34), that we have become sharers of God's

inmost life. (16) Jesus Christ, who "through the eternal Spirit offered

himself without blemish to God" (Heb 9:14), makes us, in the gift of the

Eucharist, sharers in God's own life. This is an absolutely free gift, the

superabundant fulfilment of God's promises. The Church receives,

celebrates and adores this gift in faithful obedience. The "mystery of

faith" is thus a mystery of trinitarian love, a mystery in which we are

called by grace to participate. We too should therefore exclaim with Saint

Augustine: "If you see love, you see the Trinity." (17)

Reflection. Today’s feast poses some important questions for

reflection: Do I take time to pray before the Blessed Sacrament? Do I

come to Church early to prepare to receive our Lord in quiet reflection or

am I always late for the celebration of the Eucharist? Do I reverence the

Blessed Sacrament with a genuflection or bow? Do I receive

communion properly, i.e. in the state of grace, fasting for one hour before

receiving Communion, and bowing before I receive? After receiving

Communion, do I take time to thank Jesus and recollect my thoughts on

what I am doing or do I leave Mass early with little time to think about

how Jesus in now in me? Do I realize that the Eucharist unites me with

Jesus, with my family and my neighbor? Do I realize that the Eucharist

helps me to grown in the charity of Christ?

In his Encyclical, Ecclesia de Eucharistia”, St. John Paul II

wrote:“When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, the memorial of her

Lord's death and resurrection, this central event of salvation becomes

really present and ‘the work of our redemption is carried out.’

This sacrifice is so decisive for the salvation of the human race

that Jesus Christ offered it and returned to the Father only after he had

left us a means of sharing in it as if we had been present there. Each

member of the faithful can thus take part in it and inexhaustibly gain its

fruits. This is the faith from which generations of Christians down the

ages have lived. The Church's Magisterium has constantly reaffirmed this

faith with joyful gratitude for its inestimable gift. I wish once more to

recall this truth and to join you, my dear brothers and sisters, in adoration

before this mystery: a great mystery, a mystery of mercy. What more

could Jesus have done for us? Truly, in the Eucharist, he shows us a love

which goes ‘to the end’ (cf. Jn 13:1), a love which knows no

measure.” (Eccles. de Euchar., #11) Msgr. John M. Savinski
