Theme: THIS IS ME
Dear friends in Christ, N'wokafu YESU KRISTO...
Jesus Christ remains the satisfier of the greatest hunger of our world. We are all, in one way or another, in search of the presence of Christ. We want that divine transformative encounter. We yearn and hunger for Jesus. But where is He whom we so much desire?
Our Gospel text for this Corpus Christi Sunday is a narrative of the Last Supper scene from the Gospel according to Mark. Mark tells us that while they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat; this is my body.” By this statement, Jesus declared unequivocally that the Eucharistic Bread is His Body. The same Eucharistic Bread on which we direct our gaze every time we attend Mass or go to visit the Tabernacle is Jesus.
In the Blessed Sacrament (the Eucharist) lies Jesus' response to the greatest hunger and desire of humanity: THIS IS ME! In the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus proclaims again and again to a world in search of Him and to a humanity in need of Him that This is Me.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, you make yourself present in the Most Holy Eucharist. May we come to encounter You always in this mysterious presence. Amen.
May God bless you.
