CATHOLIC DOCTRINE: In the past 40 years, the Catholic people have witnessed a shift and a change in the area of eucharistic devotion. There was a time when we abstained from all food and drink from midnight whenever we wanted to receive the Eucharist. We genuflected deeply toward the tabernacle when we entered and left the church. We “made visits” to the Blessed Sacrament at different times during the day or evening. “Forty-Hour Devotions” called the whole parish to adoration of the Eucharist, sometimes around the clock, with confession and Communion… READ MORE BELOW

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Hospitality is deeply embedded in human nature and to say someone is hospitable is a welcome compliment. It is no accident that Jesus made use of table fellowship to give people a concrete experience of the indiscriminate love and universal compassion of God. When we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, we experience again that proclamation of the Kingdom. We join our prayer with the prayer of Jesus and the great events of salvation are made present in our time and place. Welcomed as we have been, it is our calling then to show the same love and compassion in our daily lives.

KEY TO THE GOSPEL: Today, the feast of Corpus Christi, the Church places before us the scene of the Last Supper, the last meeting of Jesus with his disciples. This was a tense meeting, full of contradictions. Judas had already decided to betray Jesus (Mk 14: 10). Peter had protested that he would not deny him (Mk 14: 30). Jesus knew all this. But he did not lose his calm or his sense of friendship. Rather, it was precisely during this Last Supper that he instituted the Eucharist and realized the supreme sign of his love for them (Jn 13: 1).
