Reflection Corner: FEAST OF THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
The feast of Corpus Christi is a reminder that Jesus is indeed the Bread of Life. In this celebration, we proclaim our belief in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist has been and will continue to be the life of the Church. As member of this body of Christ, let us make then a resolution to be more active in our participation in every celebration of the Holy Eucharist. Amen.
