On Sunday we observed the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. This beautiful feast celebrates the gift of the Eucharist, which the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches is the source and summit of our Christian faith. “For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ Himself” (CCC 1324).
The very word, Eucharist, means “thanksgiving” or “gratitude” and so this feast is especially meaningful to all of us who are striving to live as grateful stewards of all God’s blessings to us. Surely the Eucharist is the greatest of all blessings because it is not only from God, it is God – the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, let us receive the gift of the Eucharist with the greatest possible reverence and love. And let’s give ourselves generously to others in the week ahead to show our gratitude for this wondrous gift – the gift of God Himself.

Most Holy and Almighty God, we thank You and praise You for giving us the most precious Body and Blood of Your only Son, Jesus Christ. Through the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion, we are able to nourish our bodies and souls. We thank You for having made Yourself our food and for uniting us with You in this beautiful Sacrament. Amen.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen

PRAYER FOR OUR NATION
Almighty God, our Rock and our Salvation, we beg you to pour out your Holy Spirit upon our nation. Heal the divisions that separate us and remove all obstacles to authentic unity. May you guide
this great country of ours and lead our citizens to embrace one another as neighbors
and fellow countrymen, created in your own image and likeness. Give us a fresh opportunity
for renewal and true solidarity for the common good of our homeland. May we return
to our true identity as people of faith and charity.
Help us to always remain One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. Amen.
