Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ 

Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (B);

 This week’s Gospel tells of the time when God made an agreement with all of us.           "The agreement was sealed with the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ."                                                              (Mark 14: 12-16, 22-26)

​

Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. One time, this day was called Corpus Christi, Latin words for “the Body of Christ.” In the most recent revision of our liturgical rites, the revised name for this day is an expanded and more complete reflection of Eucharistic theology; a transubstantiation. The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The First Reading; (Exodus 24:3-8) explains how the covenant between God and the people, the Israelites is established. In the Second Reading; (Hebrews 9:11-15, Christ is the mediator of the new covenant). For this reason he is mediator of the new covenant: since a death has taken place for deliverance from transgressions under the first covenant, he entered once and for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. Therefore, all those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance. In today’s Gospel; (Mark 14:12-16,22-26) we read of the account where Jesus shares his Last Supper with his disciples. The preparation of the Passover, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread; when the “Passover Lamb” was to be Sacrificed. Jesus’ disciples did as he asked. They went and prepared the furnished upper room for the Passover feast. Then later, while they were eating, Jesus took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” In the same way, even today, through the Eucharist Sacrament, we too receive the New Covenant; “The Most Holy Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.” The Eucharist is a memorial of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. We believe that Jesus is truly present to us in the elements of bread and wine. Each time we celebrate this sacrament, we prepare for the Kingdom of God. This celebration, as the Second Vatican Council taught us, is the source and summit of all Christian life.
