Reflection on the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

This weekend, we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. We allow ourselves to be nurtured as we ponder the many ways we can experience the presence of the divine in our everyday lives. We reflect on how majestic is all that God created. All that exists is infused with a holy presence because it is created out of love. Being created in the image of God, we realize how God’s goodness is embedded in our entire being. Every one of our senses is able to detect the loving presence of God. In somewhat of a reverse process, we believe that the essence of Jesus is present even in a small piece of bread that is the staff of life. The Holy Spirit makes Jesus’ presence ever more evident to us, just as the Holy Spirit embedded in our being provides us with the ability to believe. Our faith in the goodness of God revealed by Jesus is renewed by sharing in the Bread of Life. We have Jesus’ Word on this.
