The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

REFLECTIONS

THIS SACRED MEAL

Today we celebrate the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

Each of the readings includes a blessing and a sharing of food.

They remind us of the central place of meals in our lives. Each

meal brings to mind other meals: the sharing of cookies and

milk, pizza and beer, loaves and fishes, bread and wine. When

we prepare a meal for our family, our friends, even strangers,

we always put something of ourselves into the preparation and

the meal itself. The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ re-

minds us of what God put into the preparation for this meal that

we celebrate today. We share this sacred meal and are trans-

formed as we remember the death of Jesus and the sacrifice that

nurtures our faith, sustains our lives, and supports our work.

REFLEJOS ESTE SAGRADO ALIMENTO

Hoy celebramos el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Cada una

de las lecturas incluyen una bendición y un compartir de

alimentos. Lo cual nos recuerda de lo importante que son las

comidas en nuestras vidas. Cada comida trae el recuerdo de

otras comidas: el compartir galletas y leche, pizza y cerveza,

panecillos y pescados, pan y vino. Cuando preparamos una

comida para nuestra familia, nuestros amigos, aun para per-

sonas desconocidas, siempre ponemos algo de nosotros en la

preparación y en la comida misma. El Cuerpo y la Sangre de

Cristo nos recuerda lo que Dios puso en la preparación para

este alimento que celebramos hoy. Compartimos este sagra-

do alimento y somos transformados al tiempo que recorda-

mos la muerte de Jesús y el sacrificio que nutre nuestra fe,

sustenta nuestra vida y apoya nuestro trabajo.
