This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. We often refer to today’s solemnity as Corpus Christi. These past few Sundays (Pentecost, Trinity and now Corpus Christi) call us each year to reflect on the very central mysteries of our Faith. We celebrate these mysteries, not just one Sunday each year, but every day of our lives.

Not only daily, but also hourly and minute-by-minute, we should be aware that the Holy Spirit of God is giving guidance and direction to our decisions and actions in daily life. I am sure that each of us prays on a daily basis, and I trust that prayer is regular and often. I trust we begin each meal with a blessing and thanksgiving, and we begin and end each day with prayer. As we pray, a beautiful element of our Catholic tradition is to begin and end our prayer with the Sign of the Cross. This primary symbol of our Faith is also a constant reminder that we have the Holy Trinity; God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, dwelling within us from the moment of our Baptism, when we first received the Sign of the Cross traced on our forehead as a gift from our parents and godparents. Today we remind ourselves of the centrality of the Eucharist. One of the “things” that makes us Roman Catholic is our belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. We do not believe the Eucharist to be a symbol; It is Real. Do you believe this?

All too often I meet Catholics, who do not believe this. I find that tragic. I have come to know and be-lieve that Jesus is Real in the Eucharist. This is not a simple thing to learn. It is not simple like learning that 2 + 2 = 4. To understand the Eucharist as the Real Presence of Jesus is not just reading this sentence and believing. It requires an open mind, heart and soul to believe. It also requires time and patience (ideally daily … a simple visit to the church for 5-10 minutes) to sit in the presence of the Eucharist and to come to understand, trust and believe. Isn’t it interesting, we can go home and plop ourselves in front of the TV for hours and listen … without speaking. But, ask yourself … do you feel your real home to be the church … and plopping yourself before the tabernacle holding the Real Presence … would love to have you just listen.

Yes, it does require prayerful reflection and study of the Scriptures, especially the accounts of the institution of the Eucharist. If you truly study these passages, you will learn that the language used does not mean a symbol or to just remember an event from a couple thousand years ago. The language is clear that we are living the Eu-charistic event in the present moment. It is clear that our celebration of the Eucharist every day at the Altar at Mass is intimately and mysteriously joined to the first Eucharist in the Upper Room in Jerusalem (the Last Supper) and is intimately and mysteriously joined to the moment at Calvary. Do you believe this? Do you understand this?

If not (or maybe it is similar to a great mystery movie -- the difference … we are the characters in the movie … trying to figure out the clues and evidence in order to resolve the Who done It), please spend some time study-ing the Scripture and praying over its meaning. Also, please spend some alone time with Jesus in the Eucharist. Over time, I know you will come to enjoy the movie. Also, if you already believe this, study the Scripture and go to the Eucharist to renew and strengthen the gift of that belief in your life.

“ What you are is God’s gift to you. What you become is your gift to God.”

Hans Urs von Balthasar

“In 1943, when France was occupied by German

Nazis, the search for Jews began. In the face of

grave peril, sister Agnes convinced her mother

superior to open their convent and offer refuge to

a Jewish family. Let us devote ourselves anew to

following wherever the Lord leads. Let us take

courage from their example of faith.”
