This feast, Latin for “Body of Christ,” is a Catholic holy day dedicated to the Eucharist—the source and summit of our faith. It celebrates the doctrine of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the consecrated Host and Chalice: that Jesus is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, under the appearances of bread and wine.
Though we remember the Eucharist every time we go to Mass, Corpus Christi is a special day set aside to publicly honor and adore Christ in the Eucharist, often with Eucharistic processions, Benediction, and extra time for adoration.
