The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, Cycle A
Background on the Gospel Reading
This Sunday we celebrate a second solemnity during this period of Ordinary Time in the liturgical calendar. Today is the
Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. This day was once called Corpus Christi, which is Latin for
“Body of Christ.” In the revised Lectionary the name for this day is expanded to reflect more completely our Eucharistic
theology.
Today’s Gospel is taken from the Gospel according to John. The reading is part of a discourse between Jesus and a
crowd of Jews. The discourse comes shortly after the miracle of Jesus’ multiplication of the loaves and fishes. In John’s
Gospel, miracles such as this are identified as “signs” through which people come to believe that Jesus is the Son of
God. These signs are followed by dialogue, or discourse that interprets and explains the miracle. In John’s Gospel, Jesus’ multiplication of the loaves is said to have occurred near Passover, thus linking it to the Exodus story and God’s
saving action toward the Israelites.
Having seen Jesus multiply the loaves and fishes, the crowd pursues him, perhaps seeking more food but also looking
for another sign. Jesus tells the crowd that he is the bread of life. He explains that just as God gave the Israelites manna
to sustain them in the desert, so now God has sent new manna that will give eternal life. It is in this context that Jesus
repeats those words in today’s Gospel and tells them again that he is the living bread that came down from heaven.
Jesus’ words are not well understood by the crowd; they argue that Jesus is not from heaven but born of Mary and Joseph. The crowd also has trouble understanding how Jesus could give them his flesh to eat. Jesus tells them that when
they eat his flesh and drink his blood, they will remain forever connected to him. These are difficult words, but they are
important because they seek to show us our intimate connection with Jesus.
This is the mystery that is at the heart of our Eucharistic theology. In the elements of bread and wine, Jesus’ Body and
Blood are truly present. When we share in the Body and Blood of Christ, Jesus himself comes to dwell within us. This
communion with the Lord makes us one body, brings us eternal life, and sends us forth to be Christ’s Body in the world.

Stewardship
We have now moved into
our 6th week of the 2017
Annual Catholic Appeal.
The good news is we have
received pledges/gifts from
149 households! But it
means there are still 223
households that have not yet responded - 60%
of the parish! And it’s not too late for you to
give!
Stewardship Reflection
Where should your charitable giving go? The Church teaches
that we should fulfill our obligation to give by being generous
toward divine worship, apostolic works, works of charity, and
for the decent sustenance of ministers. In addition, we are
obliged to promote social justice and assist with the needs of
the poor. Have you thought about your giving lately?
