The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of
Christ Weekend of May 28/29, 2016
From the rich Eucharis+c themes to be drawn from today’s second reading, one stewardship theme stands out: The Eucharist
is Christ’s gi1 to us. Good stewards are grateful for this gi1 and
realize that no ma5er their sta+on in life, they are welcome to
come to the table and receive the body and blood of Christ. If
Jesus could break bread with his betrayer, Judas, his denier,
Peter, and the other ten who deserted him, then he will welcome us. Do we truly appreciate what a tremendous gi1 it is to
approach the Lord’s Table? Do we accept the transforming power of the gi1 of Christ’s body and blood?

Question for Children: How can you share what
you have received from Jesus with others this week?
Question for Youth: Each week, when we
celebrate the Holy Eucharist we are asked to “do this
in remembrance of me”. How else do you
acknowledge the importance of Jesus in your life?
Through prayer? Through the ways that you treat
others?

yourself to be nourished by Jesus in the Eucharist this
week?

TRUE LOVE “[W]e know what true,
authentic love looks like. It looks like
the man on the Cross. This deep, pure
love that motivated Jesus to offer his
life for ours, is the love that will answer
the longing in our hearts, if we let it.” (a quote from
USCCB 2015-16 Respect Life Program “10 Surprising
Tips for Love the Culture Won’t Tell You”, www.goo.gl/
Dv3yXK.) Please pray for parents: May their example of
sacrificial and life-giving love be a source of hope and
inspiration.

Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
The open wound caused by the spear opens
The ventricle holding the last of the Sacred
Blood of Jesus.
Sacred Blood mixed with water slowly oozes
down the Holy Body
Scalding, cauterizing, purifying the sin of the
world.
Divine love drop by drop falling as grace,
softly touching
The God void within every heart.
Sacred Blood and Body are given to us as a gift
of the
Divine to live within us.
