Readings: Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14-16;The Solemnity of Corpus Christi, or the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, originated in France in the mid 13th century and was extended to the whole Church by Pope Urban IV in 1264. This feast reminds us of the mystical and physical manifestations of the Body of Christ, namely the Holy Eucharist and the Church. However, the primary focus of this feast is still the Eucharist.
In the Gospel, Jesus says: “I Myself am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who feeds on this bread will live forever. The bread I will give is My flesh for the life of the world.” What applies to the body also applies to the soul. If our body craves for food that can give us the strength that we need to live, then our soul too would crave for food that can help us to live out our spiritual life. Without the nourishment that comes from the Eucharist, we risk the danger of becoming weak spiritually and incapable of reaching out to help others. We become easy victims to temptations and depression.
