The feast of Corpus Christi, which we
celebrate this Sunday, is a celebration of
the Lord’s generosity to us. He
offers Himself as food and drink to
satisfy our spiritual and material hunger
as we journey through life. The Eucharist
is God’s presence among us, God
giving himself to us in a most personal
and unique way. “Take this all of you
and eat it, this is my body….”He
gives himself to us, not because we are
perfect, but because we are
his.
He
knows us, he knows every intimate detail
of our lives, how we get lost, stray, and
become entangled in the snares of this
world. He knows our joys and celebrations,
our dreams and heart wishes. He knows us
from the inside out and loves every breath
we take.
This is
why he gives us himself in the Eucharist
– as nourishment to heal our
brokenness and food to give us joy. The
Lord gives us His body and blood to eat
and drink.
As we
celebrate the Eucharist we ask ourselves,
“are we becoming what we eat and
drink?” What we celebrate this Sunday
morning is not so different from what took
place on the hillside or the Upper Room.
The Lord is present offering himself to
us. We cannot be truly present at the
Eucharist without a desire to change and
set out on the road traveled by Christ,
trying to live in a caring and sharing
way. It is the life we live during the
week that we bring to the community
Eucharist on Sunday. We are strengthened
nourished and fortified to go out and to
live what we have celebrated. Christ gives
us His body to eat and His blood to drink.
This is the awesome reality of our
celebration and who we are called to be.
