READINGS FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 2019 THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD
OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI)
First Reading: Genesis 14:18-20 Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Gospel: Luke 9:11b-17
FOCUS: Christ fulfills in the Eucharist his promise to
be with his people always.
As the source and summit of our faith, we celebrate
Christ’s enduring presence with us in the mystery of the
Eucharist. Here we encounter his love and healing, here
we are strengthened and nourished to live the Gospel and
to hope for a share in his eternal life.
LITURGY OF THE WORD:
Returning from battle, Abraham meets the king of Salem
who invites him to offer bread and wine to the Lord. In
what is the first written account of the Last Supper, Saint
Paul reminds us that he is handing on what he received
regarding the true meaning of the Eucharist. Jesus
welcomes the crowd and feeds them in the Gospel,
instructing his disciples to do the same.
Readings for next week, June 30, Thirteenth Sunday in
Ordinary Time: 1 Kings 19:16b. 19-21; Galatians 5:1, 13
-18; Luke 9:51-62

Dear Friends:
Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, that is, Corpus Christi.
The history of this beautiful celebration dates back to the 13th century in Belgium, when St. Juliana be-
came the prioress of the convent of Cistercian nuns that had raised her. St. Juliana had a burning love for
the Eucharist, and even had a vision of the full moon whose full radiance was obscured. She interpreted
this to mean that the Church had not yet recognized a feast in honor of Christ’s body in its liturgical cal-
endar, and she shared her vision with the local bishop of Liege. Her fervent desire to make the obser-
vance recognized throughout the Church finally came to pass in 1264, when Pope Urban IV issued the
Papal Bull Transiturus. (http://newadvent.org/cathen/04390b.htm)
Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of the Solemnity is contained in the Office of Corpus Christi, a series
of prayers for the occasion composed by Saint Thomas Aquinas. Whether it was because of these
prayers or his other writings, it is said that St. Thomas had a vision of Our Lord, who told him: Bene
scripsisti de me Thomma (“Well have you written about me, Thomas”). We sing the sublime hymn to
the Eucharist, Pange Lingua, every Holy Thursday.
Two things about this hymn and the entire Office of Readings for this day merit our attention. First, St.
Thomas helps us to recognize that, while the senses only perceive bread and wine, the eyes of faith rec-
ognize the reality of Jesus’ Body and Blood:
Yet the other aspect of the mystery of Jesus’ Body is that of the Church, both individually and collec-
tively. St. Thomas reminds the individual Catholic and the Church at large:
We Catholic Christians do well to recognize the presence of Our Lord Jesus—Body, Blood, Soul, and
Divinity—under the species of Bread and Wine, and we also revere him in the life of the Church, which
is his Mystical Body as well.
Faithfully,
Fr. Valentine
THE PASTOR’S PAGE
Word made flesh took bread and blessed it,
by a word turned it to flesh.
Wine became Christ's blood the same way,
even though it cannot be sensed.
All a heart sincere requires
is to rest on faith alone.
The same Lord Jesus is endowed with both divinity and corporeity. When you receive
his flesh, you are participating in the food of his divine substance.
Because the Lord suffered for us, he left us his blood and body in this sacrament, in
which he also included ourselves. For we have become his body, and by his mercy we
become what we receive... See what you have received, and how one you have be-
come. So all of you be one, loving one another by holding onto one faith, one hope
and an undivided love… So wine started out in many clusters before it became one. It
was wine in its initial stage, but became a chalice drink after going through the wine
press. Likewise, after those fasts, labors, humility and contrition, you came in the
name of the Lord to the chalice of Christ. There you are at table, and are with us in the
chalice. For we receive this together, we drink it together, because we live together.
