The Body & Blood of Christ

"Take this and eat", Jesus said, "This is my body. This is my blood, the blood of the covenant which is to be poured out for many." What an extraordinary love Christ has for us that led him to give us this wonderful sacrament through which he is our food and drink. And yet we become so used to the knowledge of it that we can even see it as a burden. But we do the same with our love for one another. In marriage and family life many people feel burdened by the demands of love. In parish life we can settle for a minimum. This week is a very special time to renew the sense of awe that should be ours when we think of the extent of God's love for us and the privilege of our love for one another. It is a week to cry out: "My Lord, and my God" and to say again to each other "I love you".

The Body & Blood of Christ

First Reading Exodus 24: 3-8
This is the blood of the Covenant that the Lord has made with you.

Second Reading Hebrews 9: 11-15
The blood of Christ can purify our inner self from dead actions.

Gospel Mark 14: 12-16, 22-26
Jesus took some bread said the blessing broke it and gave it to them: ‘Take it this is my body’. He took the cup; he said to them, ‘This is my blood’.
