A Hidden TreasureCorpus Christi

Corpus Christi:

On the feast of Corpus Christi we celebrate the presence of Christ in our world today. In particular we celebrate his presence in the body and blood we share at the Eucharist.

Our Eucharist is a celebration of thanksgiving for what Jesus has done. Lest we forget what he has done, we assemble to hold that memory sacred. We keep the memory fresh. We remember the suffering passion and death. We recall Jesus' willingness to overcome sin. In receiving the body and blood of Christ we become his body in our world.
