The Most Holy Body and Blood of

Christ

June 14, 2020

It is no wonder that followers of Christ

are called the Body of Christ. After all, sharing in the same spiritual food and sacred meal, they become what they eat and reveal the Divine Image. There is so much power for healing in the community of believers. Through the Eucharist, Christ becomes as present in those who have partaken of his Body and Blood as he has the elements themselves. The very presence of God touches the depths of the human soul and visits a part of us that no human being can ever hope to explore. We are God’s. The sacred Eucharistic meal is a celebration of intimacy, the reunion of two loves in constant search of and longing for the other. The community of believers receives the power and the presence to touch and heal in the name of the One they have welcomed within. It is now within their grasp to change the way life is lived and to more intentionally put into practice the Beatitudes that the Divine Guest has revealed. We are asked to be like Christ and work to create a world of sufficiency, where the greed of some no longer creates the want of others but where all of God’s children can find a home and a place at the table of life. The One who makes a home within calls us to live a life that transforms. We are changed ourselves and now become agents of change for others. We are the Body of Christ. God is with us. We have been nourished. Sadly, many are afraid to try. We know what we are called to do, but we struggle with feelings of doubt as to whether God really is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Do our systems have to change? Is it possible that we somehow missed the mark when we put all of our social networks in place and established the business of our lives? Perhaps we have to radically rethink our approach and that can scare us. We might have to give something up or change, and we don’t want to. As long as want, injustice, division, prejudice, and scarcity still exit, there is tremendous work for the Body of Christ. ©LPi

El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo

14 de junio de 2020

El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo es un signo de unidad y es un alimento salvífico. Muy diferente al

pan que bajaba del cielo para alimentar a los hebreos por su paso en el desierto. Quien come el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo vivirá para siempre. “Yo soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo. El que coma de este pan vivirá para siempre.” (Juan 6:51). La lecturas de hoy invitan al creyente a despertar a este hermoso regalo de Jesús en la Eucaristía. Apreciar su presencia viva al recibirlo sabiendo que es el único medio indispensable de participación de lo divino. No cabe la menor duda, lo necesitamos para la jornada de fe. “Ver que diariamente se humilla, como cuando desde el trono real descendió al seno de la Virgen; diariamente viene a nosotros. Él mismo en humilde apariencia; diariamente desciende del seno del Padre hasta el altar en manos del sacerdote. Y como mostró a los santos apóstoles en carne verdadera, así también ahora se nos muestra a nosotros en el pan consagrado. Y lo mismo que ellos, con la vista corporal, veían solamente carne; pero, con los ojos que contemplan espiritualmente, creían que Él era Dios. Así también nosotros, al ver con los ojos corporales el pan y el vino, veamos y creamos firmemente que es su santísimo cuerpo y sangre vivos y verdadero.” (Francisco y Clara de Asís Admoniciones 1, 16-21). La generosidad de Dios frecuentemente, ¿Cómo es mi generosidad para con los demás? ©LPi

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world… “For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” — Jn 6:51, 55-56 Excerpts from the Lectionary for Mass, ©2001, 1998, 1970 CCD

Inspiration for the Week

They recognized him in the breaking of bread. This was the amazing revelation or epiphany that occurred on the Road to Emmaus. Bread that had been transformed into the Body of Christ opened the eyes of the disciples and showed them who was really with them. Their hearts were burning. Sometimes we struggle with our belief in the Eucharist because we make it too much of an intellectual challenge. If God’s divinity was wed to humanity in the incarnation of Christ, then why is it not possible for God to take simple elements of bread and wine and transform them into his Body and Blood? Affirm your faith today that the Eucharist you receive is God Himself. Become what you eat and allow God to embrace your soul and touch that part of you that no one else can touch. ©LPi

Inspiración de la Semana

Lo reconocieron al partir el pan. Esta fue la sorprendente revelación o epifanía que ocurrió en el camino a Emaús. El pan que se había transformado en el Cuerpo de Cristo abrió los ojos de los discípulos y

Mass Intentions

les mostró quién estaba realmente con ellos. Sus corazones ardían. A veces luchamos con nuestra creencia en la Eucaristía porque la convertimos demasiado en un desafío intelectual. Si la divinidad de Dios se casó con la humanidad en la encarnación de Cristo, ¿por qué no es posible que Dios tome elementos simples de pan y vino y los transforme en su Cuerpo y Sangre? Hoy, afirma tu fe de que la Eucaristía que recibes es Dios mismo. Conviértete en lo que comes y permite que Dios abrace tu alma y toque esa parte de ti que nadie más puede tocar. ©LPi
