2 My Dear People, Today s theme on the readings: Appreciating The Eucharist For centuries today s feast was called Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) and was observed on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. In many countries it has now been moved to Sunday, so that more people may participate in its celebration. In its present form, the liturgy of this day focuses our attention on the meaning of the Eucharist that we celebrate so often. Today s reading from Genesis tells how Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine and prayed over Abram. Though it took place nearly two thousand years before Jesus, this event has long been used by the Church as an ancient foreshadowing of the Eucharist. The reading from Paul s Letter to the Corinthians is the same one we hear proclaimed on Holy Thursday, retelling the story of the first blessing and sharing of bread and wine at the Last Supper. Luke s tale of the miraculous feeding of the crowd in today s Gospel is also clearly intended to evoke the Eucharist. Thus today s readings give us three opportunities to deepen our appreciation of the Body and Blood of Christ. Copyright, J.S. Paluch Co In Christ, Fr. John TODAY S READINGS First Reading: Melchizedek brought out bread and wine and blessed Abram. (Genesis 14:18-20) Psalm: You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek. (Psalm 110) Second Reading: Paul gives his description of the institution of the Eucharist. (1 Corinthians 11:23-26) Gospel: Jesus spoke to the crowd about the kingdom of God and then fed them with five loaves and two fish.

4 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION We owe today s beautiful feast to a valiant woman who suffered a great deal to establish a feast out of her love for the Eucharist. Juliana was a nun in Belgium in the thirteenth century. She served in a hospital for lepers. She became convinced through her prayer that the liturgical year was incomplete because it had no feast for the Eucharist. Her efforts were not welcome, and a supervising priest sought to punish her for promoting a feast that nobody wanted. He even had her accused of financial mismanagement and banished her from her convent. Shortly after she was exiled, the bishop approved the feast. It quickly spread through Europe. In those days, people very seldom received Holy Communion, and so the processions through the streets with the eucharistic bread not only led to an awareness of Christ s hunger to be with us, but prepared the way for a deeper desire to receive Christ s Body and Blood in more frequent Communion. The feast grew rapidly, but Juliana disappeared into poverty and a hidden life. She ended her days as an anchoress, a woman living in seclusion in a room attached to a parish church. Imagine her delight at seeing us gathered at the table of the Lord on this day, aware of Christ s presence in our midst, sharing fully in Christ s Body and Blood. Our celebration today invests her struggle and sorrows with dignity and meaning. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
