Corpus Christi Homily 2023

By his divine authority, Christ renewed the sacrificial covenant between God and God's people at the Last Supper.  By giving himself as the Lamb of God, he not only established the Sacrament of the Eucharist but also renewed the relationship between we mortals and God.  By his authority - and by extension through all those ordained a priest - mere bread and wine transform into Christ's Most Holy Body and Blood.  These days it's easy to question those in authority, especially with all the ranker, divisiveness, and corruption in the world, but we can take Jesus at his word.  Let us all give a resounding "Amen" (meaning "I believe") when we come forward to share in the one loaf and one cup!
