Reflecting on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, this meditation contrasts the ancient covenant of Sinai with the new, eternal covenant sealed in the Blood of Christ. We are invited to approach the Holy Mass with loving obedience, deep contrition, and reverent care for the liturgy, transforming the Eucharistic meal into a total gift of ourselves. Receiving Jesus gives us the spiritual youth and strength needed to remain faithful as we journey through the desert of daily life, united as God's family.
