For
many centuries this feast was one of the most popular in
the Church. It was celebrated by carrying the Blessed Sacrament
in procession through the streets. Apparently that tradition
has fallen by the wayside today, especially in the United
States. When this feast was established it had a twofold
focus, but, for whatever reason, the focus that received
emphasis was the Real Presence of Jesus under the appearance
of bread and wine. The other meaning, on which I'm going
to focus, is that the Body of Christ (Corpus Christi) refers
to the whole people of God - us - you and me. The Body of
Christ in the Eucharist is there so that we might be the
Body of Christ in the world. To perhaps put it in a different
way, the "Jesus-presence" in the Eucharist is
for the sake of the "Jesus-presence" in the world
through us. The Real Presence in the Eucharist is there
to make us the Real Presence in the world. We aren't expected
to be a Mother Teresa, or an Oscar Romero, or a Padre Pio,
or any other 'great' saint for that matter. We can, however,
reflect on the lives of some of the saints and try to emulate
them. All of us come from different backgrounds and have
different gifts from the Lord. Jesus just wants to blend
Himself into our lives so that we can bring Him into our
world. What I'm trying to say-what this feast is trying
to say - is that we must realize that we are not here alone.
Because of our baptism, we are one with believers all over
the world. We break bread with them wherever they are. None
of us are just innocent bystanders. We are connected, via
this feast, to people who are sick, or in prison, or enslaved,
or whatever. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ.
That is the feast's original intent.
Lighten
up...One Sunday morning a little girl in her Sunday best
was running so she wouldn't be late for church. As she ran
she kept praying, "Dear God, please don't let me be
late to church. Please don't let me be late to church..."
As she was running she tripped and fell. When she got back
up she began praying again..."Please, God, don't let
me be late to church - but don't shove me either!"
