Corpus Christi

Corpus Christi, or the Body of Christ. He has left us a constant reminder of this to take advantage of until the end of time. Scripture from the Old to the New Testaments has told it to us.

'He, (the Lord) hath made a remembrance (a memorial) of His wonderful works: He hath given Food to them that fear Him.' Ps. cx. 4,5

'Come! eat my Bread, and drink my Wine which I have mingled for you...' Ps. 9

'Taste and see that the Lord is sweet.' Ps. 33

And let us not forget Melchisedech, who offered bread and wine.

'I am the Bread of life: your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead: this is the Bread coming down from heaven; that if any man eat thereof, he may not die.

'My flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that abideth in me, and I in him...This is the bread that came down from heaven...he that eateth this Bread, shall liver forever.'

And St. Paul: 'therefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily. shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. But, let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unwortily, eateth and drinketh judgement unto himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.'

Let us go to Confession so that we can be made worthy to receive His Body in the Holy Eucharist.


Note: This would have been yesterday when this Feast should be, since it recalls to us that Christ instituted the Holy Eucharist on a Thursday, but my blasted internet was down again. Sorry! Also, in the new nervous order, this day will probably be mentioned. Once again, the newchurch missed the point of holiness!!!!! Pray much.
