The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
“Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them
and they all drank from it.” - Mark 14:23
Reflection of the Corpus Christi Procession
Today is the final big Feast of the Lord flowing over from the Easter Season – Corpus Christi
or The Body of Christ. It would seem that Holy Thursday would be a more appropriate day
to honor the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, but the focus then is on the
institution of the Mass as a commemoration of Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection as a
whole.
So, this Feast became a celebration of the universal Church in 1264. I think that since our faith in Jesus
was and always is meant to be public, processions of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament were a natural (or
supernatural, if you will) progression of the Feast. The Feast highlights our belief in the Real Presence of
Jesus Christ – Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity – in the host consecrated at Mass. What better person to
“parade” around than the Lord and Savior of the Universe?
Once it became known what Jesus said and the wonders he performed in Galilee, Jerusalem, and the
surrounding area, every time he entered a town, village, or city, a crowd gathered to hear him, meet him,
touch him, be healed by or even just to see him (Luke 19:4 – “…So he ran ahead and climbed up into a
sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way”). Just to see Jesus was a blessing.
Today, in my experience, Catholics are growing in seeing the importance of two things: 1. The importance
of faith in and being in the Real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. 2. To be more public with our beliefs by
learning and expressing them in events like a public Eucharistic procession.
Maybe next year, we can have a Eucharistic procession in Mound?
God bless you and have a great week! Fr. Peter Richards
