Genesis 14: 18-20
Psalm 109 (110)
1 Corin 11: 23-26
Luke 9: 11-17
The Body and Blood of Christ. It has become traditional in the Church, to keep a celebration of the gift of the Blessed Sacrament as soon as Easter-tide is over. This Thursday came to be Corpus Christi, the first free Thursday after Maundy Thursday. Now we keep the feast on the following Sunday (next Sunday) so that more people will be able to join in. Our mass takes place as usual. The readings include an OT passage about a priest offering bread and wine; our NT reading is Paul’s account of the Last Supper from 1 Corinthians 11 (which matches Luke’s account almost exactly); and the gospel is the feeding of the five thousand from St Luke
