On Sunday, the Catholic Church celebrated ‘The Feast of Corpus Christi’, a day which honours and recognises the presence of the body of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist (the bread and wine that we receive).
Although our sacramental students, Jessica and Theo have a few more weeks of preparation for their sacrament First Holy Communion, many children in parishes all over Australia received their sacrament last weekend, including my nephew in Wagga Wagga.
It was a special celebration and we look forward to our upcoming celebration with Jessica and Theo in Week 10, Thursday 29th June.
A prayer from Sunday…
We bless you most Holy God,
for you appeared to Abrahahm at table,
you offered yourself in the last supper,
you appeared in the breaking of the bread at Emmaus,
you reveal yourself in the breaking of the bread at each Eucharist celebration.
Make us ever worthy of your presence in us and in those we meet.
Nourish and strengthen us in unity through the gifts of your Body and Blood.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Have a lovely week!!
