The Secretariat of Justice and Peace developed a new resource on the scourge of war and artificial intelligence through the lens of Pope Leo XIV’s new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. As the Holy Father says, “No algorithm can make war morally acceptable. AI does not remove the intrinsic inhumanity of conflict” (no. 198).

In the second reading on Corpus Christi (1 Corinthians 10:16-17), St. Paul calls us to participate in the Body and Blood of Christ. We do this literally, by consuming His Body in the Eucharist, the sacrament in which “all that has been created finds its greatest exaltation” (Laudato Si’ 236). We also participate in the Body and Blood of Christ in community with each other. The readings from all three of the feast days have a focus on the Holy Spirit using our unique skills and diversity to glorify God and bring creation together. In this celebration of diversity, we, with the Holy Spirit, can proclaim “brothers and sisters, rejoice!” (2 Cor 13:11, second reading from the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity).

Today at Mass we celebrate The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ (aka Corpus Christi). Central to the feast is the call to Catholics to express love of the Eucharist to the world, to “proclaim on the housetops” (Mt 10:27) what the apostles came to know at the Last Supper.
Celebrate this beautiful feast, by breaking bread with your family, literally. At your family meal, pass the bread around the table and, as each family member takes a piece, have them tell what they remember about their first Communion and what the Eucharist now means to them.
Spending some time in Eucharistic Adoration is also appropriate.
