Body and Blood

Sunday is The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ!  

Sequence for the Solemnity  

This the truth each Christian learns,

Bread into his flesh he turns, 

To his precious blood the wine:

Sight has fail'd, nor thought conceives, 

but a dauntless faith believes, 

Resting on a pow'r divine.

The Mystery of Faith! 

When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim Your death, O Lord, until You come again. 

We pray the Mystery of Faith every week at Mass. 

This is what we believe! 

Jesus's body broken and his blood poured out for our salvation. 

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 my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." Mark 14:22 

Until You come again! 

Amen!
