GOSPEL POWER |JUNE 6, 2021 - SUNDAY | SOLEMNITY OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
Gospel: Mk 14: 12 – 16, 22 - 26
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, the disciples of Jesus said to him, “Where do you want us to go and make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?” So Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him, and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks, Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” So the disciples set out and went to the city, and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover meal. . .While they were eating, he took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, and all of them drank from it. He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Truly I tell you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”
When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Reflection
Food is not only essential, but desirable. It does not only nourish but brings delight. We need it, we want it, and we enjoy it. Could our God have chosen a better form in which to remain with us and transform us from within than the food that we consume and absorb into our system? There can be nothing more organic and real than this, yet awesome and unimaginable. Here, we get a glimpse of the creativity of divine Love, a taste of God’s limitless possibilities. Through the Eucharist, God transfuses his divine life into us, forming us, believers, into a new organism — the Body of Christ — through whom the Son of God continues, in space and time, his costly sacrifice of being bread broken for others and wine poured out for the salvation of all.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, deepen our consciousness of being your Body, through whom you want to continue to minister to the hungry multitudes of the world. Amen
