SOLENNITE DE LA FETE DU TRES SAINT SACREMENT ( CORPUS
CHRISTY ) FETE DIEU (C)
MAY 28TH TO JUNE 4TH, 2016
In the words of St. Thomas Aquinas:
"How inestimable a dignity, beloved brethren, divine
bounty has bestowed upon us Christians from the
treasury of its infinite goodness! For there neither is
nor ever has been a people to whom the gods were
so nigh as our Lord and God is nigh unto us.
"Desirous that we be made partakers of His divinity,
the only-begotten Son of God has taken to Himself
our nature so that having become man, He would be
enabled to make men gods. Whatever He assumed
of our nature He wrought unto our salvation. For on
the altar of the Cross He immolated to the Father His
own Body as victim for our reconciliation and shed
His blood both for our ransom and for our regeneration. Moreover, in order that a remembrance of so
great benefits may always be with us, He has left us
His Body as food and His Blood as drink under appearances of bread and wine.
"O banquet most precious! O banquet most admirable! O banquet overflowing with every spiritual delicacy! Can anything be more excellent than this repast, in which not the flesh of goats and heifers, as
of old, but Christ the true God is given us for nourishment? What more wondrous than this holy sacrament! In it bread and wine are changed substantially, and under the appearance of a little bread and
wine is had Christ Jesus, God and perfect Man. In this
sacrament sins are purged away, virtues are increased, the soul is satiated with an abundance of
every spiritual gift. No other sacrament is so beneficial. Since it was instituted unto the salvation of all, it
is offered by Holy Church for the living and for the
dead, that all may share in its treasures.
"My dearly beloved, is it not beyond human power
to express the ineffable delicacy of this sacrament in
which spiritual sweetness is tasted in its very source,
in which is brought to mind the remembrance of that
all-excelling charity which Christ showed in His sacred passion? Surely it was to impress more profoundly upon the hearts of the faithful the immensity of this charity that our loving Savior instituted this
sacrament at the last supper when, having celebrated the Pasch with His disciples. He was about to
leave the world and return to the Father. It was to
serve as an unending remembrance of His passion,
as the fulfillment of ancient types — this the greatest
of His miracles. To those who sorrow over His departure He has given a unique solace."

THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLODD
Corpus
Christi
Sunday
Corpus Christi (Body and Blood of Christ) is a Eucharistic
solemnity, or better, the solemn commemoration of the
institution of that sacrament. It is, moreover, the
Church's official act of homage and gratitude to Christ,
who by instituting the Holy Eucharist gave to the Church
her greatest treasure. Holy Thursday, assuredly, marks
the anniversary of the institution, but the commemoration of the Lord's passion that very night suppresses the
rejoicing proper to the occasion. Today's observance,
therefore, accents the joyous aspect of Holy Thursday.

Genèse 14, 18-20
Psaume 109 (110) : 1-4
1 Corinthiens 11: 23-26
Luc 9, 11b-17
Frères et Sœurs bien-aimés dans le Seigneur, Les grandes religions monothéistes se réclament d’Abraham, en qui elles reconnaissent « le père des croyants ». Un bref épisode rapporté par le
livre de la Genèse justifie cette revendication d’une paternité
commune. Melchisédech, « prêtre du Très-haut », dont on ignore
l’origine commune le culte et le sanctuaire auxquels il se trouvait
attaché, est venu, un jour, trouver Abraham. Il lui a présenté une
offrande de pain et de vin, et l’a béni au nom de « celui qui a fait
le ciel et la terre ». Ce rite accompli, il a disparu, et on n’a plus
entendu parler de lui. Son souvenir n’a pourtant pas été complètement perdu. (Genèse 14 : 18-20)
Un psaume entrevoit que le Messie sera « prêtre selon l’ordre de
Melchisédech » (Ps 109,4). Reprenant cet oracle, l’auteur de la
lettre aux Hébreux s’attarde longuement sur le personnage énigmatique de Melchisédech. Il voit en lui une figure du Christ qui
s’est offert lui-même en sacrifice pour libérer tous les hommes de
leur péché. Entré dans le sanctuaire du ciel, il intercède pour eux,
et leur ouvre l’accès auprès du Très-haut. La lettre aux Hébreux
est le seul écrit du Nouveau Testament qui attribue le titre au
Christ. Mais, « la nuit même où il était livré », avant d’entrer dans
le sanctuaire des cieux, Jésus a fait du rite traditionnel de
l’offrande du pain et du vin, le « signe », le sacrement, de son
corps livré et de son sang versé pour « la Nouvelle Alliance ».
« Ainsi donc, dit saint Paul, chaque fois que vous mangez ce pain
et que vous buvez a cette coupe, vous proclamez la mort du Seigneur, jusqu’à ce qu’il revienne. » (Hébreux 7, 1-28)
Dans le désert, Jésus a multiplié cinq pains et deux poissons
pour nourrir la foule, après lui avoir parlé, jusqu’au soir tombant,
du règne de Dieu. Or tout se passe comme dans une assemblée
chrétienne où la communion au Pain rompu suit la liturgie de la
Parole.
Vraiment, l’Eucharistie, le Saint- Sacrement que nous célébrons,
plonge ses racines dans le terreau de rites ancestraux que le Seigneur a portés à leur accomplissement, en leur donnant une signification et une efficacité nouvelles.
Chers amis, Jésus-Christ est ainsi le centre de notre religion. En
lui, nous trouvons Dieu tout entier. Adhérons donc de tout cœur à
lui, et venons puiser en son Saint-Sacrement l’exaltation de son
œuvre rédemptrice, le service de son Eglise, les prémices de notre
béatitude.
