It
is so sad that so many people identify themselves as Catholics but fail to go
to Mass on Sunday, fail to receive Holy Communion. It is because they do not understand, do not
realize, what a great gift the Eucharist is.
How can we not be dumbstruck, speechless, as we approach the altar and
meet the Lord Jesus Christ right there in front of us. How can we get along in life without His
Presence within us?
As
always, Father Robert Barron has a reflection on the mystery of Corpus
Christi. Here is a link to his homily
for this feast. http://www.wordonfire.org/resources/homily/jesus-sacrifice/4774/
Let
us pray that God will deepen our faith, take away the obstacles that erode our
faith, and allow us to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus Christ is
present in the Holy Eucharist. Let us ask the Lord to give us a great hunger to
receive Him, an awareness that we cannot live our life fully without Him.
