Fr. Jose – Parish Priest

Dear family members and friends, Today we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, the Feast of Corpus Christi. In today’s Gospel Jesus said,” For my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.” Jesus further said, “Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

St. Paul says as we read in the second reading, “Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread. “All these tell us the importance of receiving the body and blood of Jesus in the sacramental form, i.e. we live because of Him. In the first reading we are reminded about manna. God fed the Israelites with manna in order to make them know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Amen
