This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.” Mark 14.24 |
|
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which we celebrate this weekend, is a wonderful reminder of why we gather together as Catholics at church for the Mass.
Through this Eucharistic celebration, we receive that gift which Jesus gives to us, that we may in turn have life. Giving to us his very Body and Blood as food! This heavenly meal.
Lest we forget, this event was not held to that one moment in time at the Last Supper with his Apostles, but was commanded by him that we continue to “do this in memory of [him]” (Luke 22.19). This is no mere symbol. This is the covenant he has made to us by his own blood, to show us that he will never leave us on our own, but that he continues to wait for us to be with him.
As COVID restrictions have been loosened and improvements to the health of many have increased, I encourage you, my dear brothers and sisters, to return to the Mass and receive this gift that Jesus gives to us through Holy Communion.
Also, if you had not yet heard, the dispensation from not having to attend Mass in-person will be lifted and the obligation returned over the first weekend of July. You can read that announcement here.
Archbishop Hebda has also written a letter thanking the faithful and all parish and school staff for their sacrifices during the pandemic. Read his letter here.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
