Solemnity: The most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

                Dear brothers and sisters; today we celebrate the solemnity of the most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

            In the first reading of today, taken from the book of Deuteronomy, Moses reminds his people as they are about to enter the Promised Land, that, they must not forget God’s goodness to them in the past. He also exhorts them to remember that they are God’s own people, who need to nourish themselves on His Word.

            In the second reading of today, taken from the first letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians, St. Paul narrates the divine institution of the Holy Eucharist by our Lord and invites his readers to generously commemorate this mystery until he comes again. 

            And the Gospel Passage of today is taken from St. Luke which narrates Jesus’ miracle of the multiplications of the loaves. This miracle points to the heavenly banquet where everything will be in plenty because of God’s generosity.

            Therefore dear brothers and sisters, as we have assembled here for today’s Holy Eucharistic celebration, let us ask pardon from our merciful father, for all our wrong doings and pray for his blessing, so that the Lord will grant us his wisdom and insight by which we will understand the value of Holy Eucharist.
