Today we celebrate the Feast of the Most Precious Body and Blood of Jesus, Corpus Christi, the celebration of the True and Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. After consecration, the bread and wine are totally changed into Jesus’ body and blood (Transubstantiation). He says that I am the Living Bread… anyone who eats this bread … and drinks this blood will have eternal life, (John 6:51-58).
Jesus gave us the most admirable Sacrament of the Eucharist, the Sacred mystery of His Body and Blood which was instituted at the Last Supper. The Church made the Eucharist, the centrepiece of our thanksgiving worship and for the life of the world.
The Eucharistic Meal is to be celebrated in His remembrance – “Take His Body” and “Take His Blood” and the Church restores unity with God and mankind. At this meal of Christ, we experience the power of redemption and sanctification. Whenever we partake in this banquet, His presence in us increases our virtue, nourishes our mind and body with an abundance of Spiritual gifts.
We pray that when the Movement Controlled Order (MCO) is lifted, we shall return to Church to receive Holy Communion, the Heavenly Food, so that we can really feel a sense of peace. Till then, we pray together in faith that we will always be in communion with Jesus spiritually.
