Holy Trinity Sunday 2007
CORPUS CHRISTI
Corpus Christi means the Body of Christ. We think about the wonderful gift God gives to us every time we receive the Communion bread. He offers himself to us at every mass, as the bread is consecrated and becomes the Body of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we hardly notice, sometimes we might receive it without really thinking about it; sometimes we might be angry with God and not want it- but still God comes in the form of Jesus' body. If we really think about it we rejoice and are full of wonder. It can even feel quite frightening.
In today's Gospel, Jesus shared a meal with friends and with a huge crowd of people.
It was only possible because someone was happy to share their meal and because Jesus blessed the picnic lunch.
