📣 Join us this evening at 7pm as we celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi, giving thanks for the gift of the Holy Eucharist. ✝️
It's CORPUS CHRISTI!
Latin for ‘Body of Christ’ Corpus Christi may also be referred to as
‘Thanksgiving for Holy Communion.’
It commemorates the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus
at the Last Supper.
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it,
and gave it to them, saying,
“This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood,
which is poured out for you.”
Luke 22:19-20
Some churches in a more catholic tradition process through the streets on Corpus Christi. The Blessed Sacrament is held aloft by a priest, as a public statement that Christ's sacrifice was for the whole world.
Jesus is always present among us.
The Thanksgiving for Holy Communion celebrates our Christian unity in, and as, the Body of Christ.
Jesus, Bread of Life,
feed our faith,
help us to share our resources fairly,
help us to find joy in our differences,
and help us to love one another
as you have loved us.
Amen.
