THE FEAST OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST: This Sunday is the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (also known by the Latin title of “Corpus Christi”. This feast celebrates our belief that, in the Mass, by the words of Christ and in invocation of the Holy Spirit, bread and wine become Christ’s Body and Blood (ref paragraph 1333 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church), that in the most divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially present (ref paragraph 1374 of the Catechism). For a short video of prayer and reflection watch Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ on YouTube.
