Sunday June 22 The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Scripture
who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock and fed you in the desert with manna, (Deuteronomy 8:16)
with the best of wheat he fills you. (Psalm 147:14)
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? (1Corinthians 10:16)
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you (John 6:53)
Reflection Is being a Christian possible outside of a com-
munity? Is being a Christian community (the Body of
Christ) possible without the Eucharist (the Body of Christ)?
Are sacraments individual or community events? Can a person receive a sacrament outside of a community?
How does your parish fulfill the role of being the Body of Christ?
We tend to think of individual human beings as unconnected until they choose to become connect-ed either because it is useful or because of some natural attraction. But there is an important biblical alternative to this interpretation, in many ways countercultural. We are all children of the same God, with the same earth as our common home. We are inter-related and interdependent. We have no choice about whether we live in relationship. Our only choices are whether we tell the truth about our social existence and whether we live in ways that redeem the relational web that is always and forever the matrix of our becoming. It (Body of Christ) is a way of being in the world with one another and with Christ because of who God is. The body of Jesus in life, the Body of Christ in the Easter event, the Body of Christ who we are, the Body of Christ in the Eucharist, and the Body of Christ that we become more fully in the res-urrection of the body – all these belong together in Body’s (of Christ) total meaning.1 1 Lee, Bernard J,, S.M., The New Dictionary of Catholic Spiritu-ality, edited by Michael Downey, Liturgical Press: Collegeville, MN p. 101, 104.
