Today let us give thanks to God for the gift of the Holy Eucharist by appreciating and showing gratitude to Him for feeding and strengthening us with His Most Precious Body and Blood. Let us respect, acknowledge and honor the real presence of Christ when we worship and adore Him in the Most Holy Eucharist. Lastly, let us renew our faith in God and deepen our relationship with Him so that we can sincerely and truthfully witness to Him in our world today.
So what are we called to do as Catholic Christians by this Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ we are celebrating today? We are called to: (a) acknowledge and honor the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist; (b) to thank God for remaining with us through the gift of His Son in the Eucharist; and, (c) to be grateful to God for feeding and strengthening us with the Body and Blood of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
My brothers and sisters, as we celebrate Christ, the King of Kings in our lives today, let us be His loyal and faithful servants, who will truly work for Him in establishing His kingdom on earth when we go out and proclaim His kingdom that is eternal, universal, holy, grace filled, just, loving and peaceful to the world.
