Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

(with apologies for the extended 'vacation')

Here are the readings for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), June 22, 2014:
Deuteronomy 8: 2-3, 14b-16a
Psalm 147: 12-15, 19-20
1 Corinthians 10: 16-17
John 6: 51-58

On this feast, we turn our attention to the gift of Jesus' real presence for us in the Eucharist, a gift of sacrifice and love that nourishes us to offer our daily lives in loving sacrifice for others.

Here's a video that helps explain how Catholic understand the Eucharist:
