This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, aka Corpus Christi, and also mark the beginning of a special “Year of the Eucharist” for the Archdiocese of Boston proclaimed by Cardinal Seán O’Malley. In this week’s bulletin , you will find a letter from the Cardinal announcing this special year and its purpose of helping the faithful gain a greater understanding of and appreciation for the Eucharist as the very summit of our Faith. 

In a series of Easter sermons for newly baptized Christians, St Augustine emphasized the unifying aspect of receiving the Sacrament as a member of the one Body of Christ which recalls the reading for this Sunday from St. Paul , “Here you are then; listen very briefly to the apostle, or rather to Christ speaking through the apostle, to what he says about the sacrament of the Lord's table:  One loaf, one body, is what we, being many, are  (1 Cor 10:17). There you have it all; I said it in a moment. But you must weigh the words, don't count them. If you count the words, it's short enough; if you weigh them, it's tremendous.  One loaf , he said. However many loaves may be placed there, it's  one loaf ; however many loaves there may be on Christ's altars throughout the world, it's  one loaf . But what does it mean,  one loaf ? He explained very briefly:  one body is what we, being many, are . This is the body of Christ, about which the apostle says, while addressing the Church,  But you are the body of Christ and his members  (1 Cor 12:27). What you receive is what you yourselves are, thanks to the grace by which you have been redeemed; you add your signature to this, when you answer  Amen . What you see here is the sacrament of unity.
