The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ

FED BY THE LORD Jesus’ words “This is

my body” and “This

cup is the new covenant

in my blood” were only

part of his table

blessing. Jesus twice

said: “Do this in

remembrance of me” (1

Corinthians 11:24, 25).

This is the good news of

today’s solemnity. Like

the five thousand hungry souls, we are fed by our

Lord. This is not food that satisfies for only a short

time, until the next meal. It is food that lasts and

changes us. It is food for sharing in much the same

way as Melchizedek did when he brought bread and

wine to the returning Abraham.

As children of God’s reign, we are blessed to be able

to receive and share God’s gift. And we do so in the

way most appropriate to our state in life—as parents,

children, husbands, wives, or religious. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

Luke 9:11b - 17

“. . . He said the blessing over them, broke them,

and gave them to the disciples to give to the crowd.” None of the Gospels tell the exact details of how four or five thousand men, plus women and children, are fed with a few

loaves and fish. The Church teaches us that the miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fishes was a prefiguration of the Body and Blood of Jesus. But let us consider another miracle

just as great. Jesus knew the Semitic ethic that required people to share with others. He knew people carried food and wine under their garments, but refrained from taking it out for fear others had brought their own. Note that Jesus blessed the loaves and fish and gave them away. He did not keep any for himself. Did people see his generous act and decide to share

what they had with one another? In the context of God’s gifts to us of reason andfree will - the ability to choose to be

generous or not to be generous, what is the greater miracle: multiplication of loaves and fish, or multiplication of generous hearts? Which makes us a greater witness to the Real Presence

of the Body and Blood of Jesus in the Eucharist?
