Dear Parishioners and Visitors,
Blessings of Corpus Christi Sunday!
What an amazing gift we receive each time we attend Mass, when we receive Jesus in the Eucharist, when we adore him in the Blessed Sacrament during adoration, and when we visit him in the tabernacles of our churches. Christ has become our true food and true drink. He has done this not only to be close to us, to nourish and transform us, but also to help us remember what he has done for us. We recall in this sacred meal our Lord’s amazing love for us and how he rescued us from darkness, sin, and death. Again and again, he comes to us under the appearances of bread and wine. He unites himself to us as we receive him in the Most Blessed Sacrament, the “true Bread from Heaven.”
With prayerful best wishes,
Fr. John Mahoney
