This feast reminds us that the goal of the catechumen s journey through Lent is not the baptismal font at Easter, but rather the experience of Pentecost. It is all about life lived in the Spirit s embrace in relationship to the Body of Christ, which is found both on the table and at the table. The season of confirmation is also drawing to a close, and this feast serves as a reminder that this sacrament, a solemn sending from font to table, is keyed to renewed vigor. Confirmation has sometimes been sadly misunderstood as a kind of graduation from religious formation, but it is nothing of the sort. It is about being led by the Lord Jesus to the place where the Spirit flourishes, and where the gifts of the Spirit are most easily detectable. After next week we will resume our consideration of the sacrament of confirmation, its rich and somewhat tangled history, its challenging theology, and its changing celebration. Rev.

3 From the Pastor Give us this day our daily bread. (Matthew 6:11) Jesus taught us to offer this petition to Our Father in heaven each day. The term daily bread can apply to anything we need to sustain us in our daily service of God: things material, like good health, a safe home, and a secure livelihood; and things spiritual, like courage, faith, perseverance, and patience. And we can be assured that when we ask earnestly and in faith, God will give us precisely what we need in order to serve him in just the way he desires. Jesus described himself as the Bread of life. (John 6:48) And so, in a special way, Jesus himself is the daily bread for which we pray in the Lord s Prayer. Jesus says, The bread I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. (John 6:51) We receive Jesus each day as our daily bread through our prayers, our reflection on the word of God in Holy Scripture, and our loving service of others. Through these good works, which constitute the essential expression of the Christian life, we feed on Jesus the Bread of life and become holy. Today s feast of Corpus Christi, however, points us to the principal and preeminent way in which Jesus comes to us as the Bread of life: namely, in the Holy Eucharist. At every Mass through the instrumentality of his ordained priest, Jesus takes bread, gives thanks, breaks it, and gives it to his disciples, saying This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way, he takes the cup, gives thanks and says, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. (See 1 Corinthians 11:24-25) It is Jesus who offers the Mass, just as it is Jesus who is offered in the Mass. By the working of the Holy Spirit, the Mass makes present the unique sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, the sacrifice whereby Jesus gives himself as food for our body and soul that we might grow more and more to be like him. St. Thomas Aquinas, in his poem Adoro te devote, expresses the Church s faith of the Church that the Eucharist is Christ the Bread of Life given to us as our spiritual food: God, with hidden majesty, lies in presence here, I, with deep devotion, my true God revere: Whom this outward shape and form secretly contains, Christ in his divinity manhood still retains. All my other senses cannot now perceive, But my hearing, taught by faith, always will believe: I accept whatever God the Son has said: Those who hear the word of God, by the truth are fed. Blest reminder of the death suffered for mankind, Sacrament of living bread, health to every mind, Let my soul approach you, live within your grace, Let me taste the perfect joys time shall not efface. May God make us always grateful for the supreme gift of his Son, Jesus, in the Holy Eucharist. May he make us yearn be more closely united to Jesus and to his beloved bride, the Church, through our regular reception of Holy Communion. And special congratulations to our parishioner, Fr. Chip Luckett, who celebrates his First Mass as a newly ordained priest on this glorious feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. How good the Lord is to raise up another priest for service to his people. Ad multos annos, Fr. Chip!
