The Church celebrates the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ this weekend.
It is “the gift of God and the work of human hands.” What do we celebrate as we hear the cries of the world’s hungry and poor, the afflicted and oppressed? There is no separation between Eucharistic food and Eucharistic mission. Every Mass opens our
care for our wounded creation, solidarity with those who are poor and fleeing their home country, feeding those children starving from famine as well as nourishing our faith and our bodies so that we can respond.
Let us pray together: “Eternal God, you have accepted us as living members of your Son, Jesus, and fed us with His Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart.” (Excerpt from “The Book of Common Prayer”)
Who is hungry at the feast? I am, you are, we are together. Who is still hungry?
