Feast of Corpus Christi: “He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him”

“And I in him.” Read that again and again, and vow to assist at daily Mass as often as possible. You will bear much fruit.

The Feast of Corpus Christi takes place on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, which happens to be today, which happens to be my birthday, which is normally the feast day of St. Joan of Arc. I have posted many of her quotes on this day in years past, and I will still do her homage today as my birth saint.

But for today, please, please, try to understand the power of the Eucharist. Harness Its power the way He intended for you.

GOSPEL  John 6:56-59
At that time, Jesus said to the crowds of the Jews: 
“For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me: and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever.” 

For good measure, read the entire sixth chapter of Gospel of St. John HERE.

It is the very meaning of being Catholic.

Blessed Feast, everyone!
