(304) 522-2031 A Parish of Wheeling-Charleston Corpus Christi The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, histori- cally known by its Latin name, Corpus Christi, celebrates the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. The feast dates to the Middle Ages and originated with a visionary nun and a Eucharistic miracle. Announce the Good News of Jesus THE STORY In 1263 a German priest stopped in Bolsena, Italy to celebrate Mass Readings for the Week of June 6, 2021 at the Church of St. Christina during his pilgrimage to Rome. At the time he was having doubts about Jesus being truly present in the Sunday Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ Blessed Sacrament. He was affected by the growing debate among (Corpus Christi) certain theologians who, for the first time in the history of the Ex 24:3-8; Ps 116:12-13, 15-16, 17-18; Heb 9:11-15; Church, began introducing doubts about the Body and Blood of Christ being actually present in the consecrated bread and wine. In Mk 14:12-16, 22-26 response to his doubt, when he recited the prayer of consecration as he celebrated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, blood started seeping Monday 2 Cor 1:1-17; Ps 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9; Mt 5:1-12 from the consecrated host and onto the altar and corporal. Tuesday 2 Cor 1:18-22; Ps 119:129, 130, 131, 132, 133, The priest reported this miracle to Pope Urban IV, who sent dele- 135; Mt 5:13-16 gates to investigate and ordered that host and blood-stained corporal be brought to Orvieto. The relics were then placed in the Cathedral Wednesday Saint Ephrem, Deacon and Doctor of the Church of Orvieto, where they remain today. 2 Cor 3:4-11; Ps 99:5, 6, 7, 8, 9; Mt 5:17-19 This Eucharistic Miracle confirmed the visions given to St. Juliana, a nun and mystic who had a series of visions in which she was in- Thursday 2 Cor 3:15—4:1, 3-6; Ps 85:9ab and 10, 11-12, structed by Our Lord to work to establish a liturgical feast for the 13-14; Mt 5:20-26 Holy Eucharist, to which she had a great devotion. After many years of trying, she finally convinced the bishop, the Friday Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus future Pope Urban IV, to create this special feast in honor of the Hos 11:1, 3-4, 8c-9; Is 12:2-3, 4, 5-6 (3); Eph 3:8-12, Blessed Sacrament, where none had existed before. Soon after her 14-19; Jn 19:31-37 death, Pope Urban instituted Corpus Christi for the Universal Church and celebrated it for the first time in Orvieto in 1264, a year after the Saturday Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Eucharistic Miracle in Bolsena.
