Happy Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, Our Bridegroom!

Today's Solemnity is the Church's reminder to all her children to make the Eucharist, the true Body and Blood of our Lord who is really and substantially present in his full humanity and full divinity, the lived reality, centre, source, summit and end of our existence to whom we praise, revere and serve. Likewise we are to enter into this deeper communion with our Bridegroom, live out the Eucharistic-Incarnational spirituality daily and faithfully by loving and serving one another as the members of Christ's mystical body especially those who are rejected and forgotten in the margins of our society for we all share the Lamb's one body and one chalice of precious blood. As St Paul wrote and we heard today, " there is only one loaf means that, though we are many, we form one body."
