Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time • Year C
As we gather around the Lord’s table to digest the challenging words of Jesus in today’s gospel, let us find nourishment in the Eucharistic celebration, which will give us the spiritual strength we need to live faithfully as Christians who believe in what the Scriptures teach. We must never lose our prophetic vision that comes from being ultimately connected to our God, to our world and to God’s people.
Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ • Year B
This once and for all sacrifice of Christ transports us from the rituals of the Old Testament to a new and profound understanding that has moved the Church forward since those moments when Christ offered himself as the one true sacrifice for all humankind. Let us in the true spirit of our Eucharistic Revival and in the words of St. Augustine, recognize who we are when we look upon the consecrated host and the cup of salvation, becoming what we receive, the Body of Christ.
