He gave you food which you and
your ancestors did not know.

O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Zion, praise your God!
He has strengthened the bars of your gates,
he has blessed the children within you.
He has established peace on your borders,
he feeds you with nest wheat.
He sends out his word to the earth
and swily runs his command.
He makes his word known to Jacob,
to Israel his laws and decrees.
He has not dealt thus with other naons;
he has not taught them his decrees.

Though we are many, we form a single body because we
share this one loaf.

Alleluia, alleluia!
I am the living bread from heaven, says the Lord;
whoever eats this bread will live for ever.
Alleluia!

My esh is real food and my blood is real drink.
REFLECTION by Greg Sunter
The feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, also known as
Corpus Chris, celebrates and commemorates the
instuon of the Eucharist at the Last Supper. Although
the liturgy on Holy Thursday remembers the celebraon
of the Last Supper, its focus tends to be more aligned
with the events of the Passion rather than on the
instuon of the Eucharist. In the 13th Century, Pope
Urban IV established the feast of Corpus Chris (the
Body of Christ) and it was St Thomas Aquinas who
composed the ocial prayers of the Church for the feast
day. In 1970 the feast was changed to the Solemnity of
the Body and Blood of Christ. In some countries it is
celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday and
in others on the following Sunday.
The gospel passage comes from the 6th chapter of the
gospel of John in which the gospel writer has Jesus
deliver an extended discourse on the image of himself as
the Bread of Life. This passage comes from the end of
that discourse and, in this relavely short passage, Jesus
repeatedly demands that his followers must eat his esh
and drink his blood. It is through these acons that his
followers will share in eternal life. Jesus says that
whoever does this will live in him and he will live in
them. That is one of the fundamental beliefs about the
Eucharist. When we receive the body and blood of Jesus
in the Eucharist we become what we receive – we
become Christ’s body in the world. When Jesus called his
disciples, he called them to be like himself. He reissues
that call to be like him every me we receive his body
and blood in Eucharist.

The Gospel joy which enlivens the community of disciples is a
missionary joy. The seventy-two disciples felt it as they returned from
their mission (cf. Lk 10:17). Jesus felt it when he rejoiced in the Holy
Spirit and praised the Father for revealing himself to the poor and the
lile ones (cf. Lk 10:21). It was felt by the rst converts who
marvelled to hear the apostles preaching “in the nave language of
each” (Acts 2:6) on the day of Pentecost. This joy is a sign that the
Gospel has been proclaimed and is bearing fruit.
The Lord says:
“Let us go on to the next towns that I may preach there also, for that
is why I came out” (Mk 1:38). Once the seed has been sown in one
place, Jesus does not stay behind to explain things or to perform
more signs; the to go forth to other towns.
From Evangelii Gaudium, 2013
The Internaonal Eucharisc Congress in Sydney in 2028
(‘Eucharist28’) will be a global gathering of the Church
centred on the Eucharist, the source and summit of our
Chrisan lives, culminang in a Papal Mass with Pope Leo
XIV. It will be a fesval of faith, rich with worship, prayer,
tesmonies, art, music – a truly ‘once in a lifeme’
experience, and a transformave moment for our naon.
At the very rst Pentecost, the apostles were transformed
as the re of the Holy Spirit was poured out for them,
empowering them to go out to evangelise the world.
“And day by day, aending the temple together and
breaking bread in their homes, they partook of food with
glad and generous hearts, praising God.” – Acts of the
Apostles 2:46-47
The early Church was Eucharisc. They gathered together
in community and shared in the breaking of the bread. It
was through believing in and sharing in Christ’s body and
blood that the Holy Spirit set their hearts ablaze,
strengthening them to spread the Good News without
fear.
As we move forward from our celebraon of Pentecost
last month, our parishes and communies can imitate the
early Church by devong ourselves to the Eucharist and
allowing the Holy Spirit to work within us – in our
ministries, our youth groups, and our personal prayer.
This naonal journey to Eucharist28 is an invitaon for all
of us to be set on re by the Holy Spirit and share in the
breaking of the bread. The journey begins now, in our
own hearts, in our own parishes.
