Today is a special day in the Church and although I don't normally post on the weekend, this is worth mentioning. As we celebrate Corpus Christi today, I did a little research for you.
Today we focus on the Body and Blood of Christ in its two expressions: The actual, physical body of Jesus (in the Eucharist), and the Church as the Body of Christ.
I found this link with more information, that I thought you might like: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/solemnity-of-the-most-holy-body-and-blood-of-christ-270
Basically, today draws our attention to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, and many Catholic churches will hold processions in the street. The intention is to draw us toward Jesus' Body, which is carried in a monstrance, out into our communities.
Please take time today to fill your heart with gratitude for all that Jesus has done for us and honor his sacred Body, especially in the Eucharist and the Church.
Don't forget to honor the poor, and friends and strangers as well, in whom Christ is present as well.
