Amen. Rogationist Publications 2 NȵɇɄȿɇȾ A MESSAGE FROM MONSIGNOR BOB The Feast of Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of Christ, is one of the most solemn celebrations in our Church year. We recall the moment before the arrest, suffering and death of Jesus when He gave us the entirety of Himself to sustain us in our faith and draw us closer to the Father. In that upper room on Holy Thursday, life changed forever for those of us who believe. “While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, ‘Take it; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, ‘This is the blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.’” Mark 14: 2226 The simplicity of His words and actions does not capture the depth of this pouring forth of His life for each of us.
