THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
When bringing our dog home from the vet my wife’s
finger was pierced through by the leash clip as the
dog rushed forward. With one end of the leash
fastened to a pulling dog and the clip on the other
end of the leash embedded through my wife’s fin-
ger, she called to our teenage son for help. Having
just completed a First Aid course, he looked at the
clip protruding through the flesh of her finger and
cringing and grimacing, said, “I can’t, I can’t do it.” The
sight of the pierced bleeding hand almost sickened him.
Many of us can identify with him as we have said or
heard another say to us, “I can’t stand the sight of blood.”
What is it about blood that has this affect on us? It
isn’t the beautiful, deep red color of blood that gets to us
but the fact that the blood represents the pain and suffer-
ing associated with spilling it. Yet for Christians the
world over, the pierced Body and Blood of Jesus has be-
come precious, not something to cringe at and shrink
from but rather to remember, appreciate, and adore. We
honor the Body and Blood of Jesus because of the pain,
suffering and sacrifice it represents, and the saving effect
it has.
We would all be shocked and highly offended if
someone treated the Eucharist with disdain, or partook of
it with a cavalier attitude. How can we insure that we
properly honor, appreciate, and express gratitude to Jesus
for shedding his blood, and giving his body to secure our
salvation? We can do this by cooperating with the eter-
nal intent and purpose for which it was shed; to “purify
your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God.”
Three purposes are revealed here. First his
Body and Blood should “purify your conscience.”
Which in fact it does, as Jesus’ sacrifice of his
Body and Blood on our behalf, brings forgiveness
and cleansing from every stain of sin. However,
this purification should not simply be a theological
reality but also should be an experiential cleansing
from the “dead works” that defile us. This cleansing is
expressed in real repentance and true conversion. In ad-
dition, appreciation for the Body and Blood of Christ
should constrain, or impel us forward, so that we no
longer live for ourselves but live to “serve the living
God.” This is the efficacious cycle that should be our
spiritual reality. The Body and Blood of Christ should
affect cleansing from sin within us, bring transformation
to us, and mobilization of us to serve him. These are the
eternal purposes for which Jesus gives us his Body and
Blood. We can honor both it and Jesus’ purpose by ea-
gerly participating in this cycle.
This mystery of faith which we profess each Sunday
as we receive the Eucharist, is reinforced and validated
by us as we cooperate with the Holy Spirit to ensure that
a similar process takes place within us. For the Spirit
also works in us changing us into what we are not, by
implanting within us his new nature; “Therefore, if any-
one is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed
away, behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Emmaus Journey Reflections
ANNUAL PRIEST RETREAT
June 4 -8
Due to the Priest Retreat there will be no Masses during
this time. Deacon Bill will be available on Wednesday
through Friday for a Communion Service only.
**********************************************
CONGRATUALTIONS AND WELCOME
Baptism is a wonderful blessing that God has given to His
church! It’s a means by which He gives us faith
and forgiveness of sins. It’s our new birth into the
Family of God! But it’s also more than just a mo-
mentary event in the life of a follower of Jesus. It’s
a lifelong journey of growing in that faith and tak-
ing next steps with Jesus!
After the 11:00am Mass on June 10th, we welcomed Cam-
den Cooper Beck into our community as a new member of
the family of God. Congratulations to Brian & Andrea Cooper
as they have Camden baptized.
