Sacred Heart Catholic Church The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ–June 18, 2017

Stewarding our Gifts

Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life

"Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and

drink his blood, you do not have life within you.” Throughout today’s

Gospel, Jesus repeats that He is the Bread of Life and that we must EAT His

flesh and DRINK His blood in order to gain eternal

life. He has made himself quite clear – there is no

misunderstanding of what has to happen, but clearly

the Jews are disturbed at His instruction. Not only is

his mandate unconventional, but drinking blood was

actually grounds for banishment from the tribe. And

this is the point, not only for the Jews and the early

Christians, but also for you and I. Will you leave

behind your old life and join a much greater “tribe”?

Will you literally partake in the body and blood of

Jesus Christ? Will you take your place in His church, amongst the more

figurative body of Christ, using your life to glorify Him? The Eucharist is the

“source and summit” of our faith. Without it, we are no better than the

Israelites who wandered in the desert.

Vayan en paz, dando Gloria al Señor con sus vidas

“Amen, amen, les digo, a menos que hayan comido la carne del Hijo del Hombre y tomado de su sangre, no tendrán vida.” Por

medio del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús repite que Él es el pan de Vida y que debemos de COMER su carne y TOMAR de su sangre

para obtener la vida eterna. Él fue bien claro—que no hay duda en lo que tenía que pasar, pero los Judíos estaban claramente

perturbados por Su enseñanza. No solo por su mandato poco convencional, sino también porque el tomar sangre en aquel

entonces, era motivo de exilio de la comunidad. Este es el punto, no solo para los judíos o para los primeros cristianos, sino

también para ti y para mí. ¿Dejarías atrás tu vida y te unirías a una comunidad más grandiosa? ¿Serias literalmente parte del

cuerpo y sangre de Jesucristo? ¿Tomarías tu lugar en Su Iglesia, en el cuerpo más figurativo de Cristo usando tu vida para

glorificarlo? La Eucaristía es el “comienzo y el centro” de nuestra fe. Sin ella, no somos mejores que los Israelitas quienes se

perdieron en el desierto.
