June 6, 2021: Praying 'this is my body, this is my blood' with Celeste Mueller, D.Min
Preaching for the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Celeste D. Mueller, D.Min offers a reflection on confronting the violence of our world by uniting ourselves more deeply to one another:
"Let us pray every headline and every statistic with these words: This is my body, this is my blood. As we see the faces in communities locked in opposition to one another. . . As the news brings to our eyes the faces of the victims, and the faces of the perpetrators, Let us pray: This is my body, this is my blood. We are one."
Celeste Mueller serves as Vice President, Ministry Formation for Ascension, a Catholic health system headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. She also serves as designer and faculty for the Ascension Leadership Academy and leads Ascension’s Formation Facilitator Certification Program. Celeste’s current research and writing interests include advancing the professional competence in formation as a multidisciplinary art and science, and formation for virtuous leadership. She holds a Doctor of Ministry in Practical Theology from Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, an MA from Aquinas Institute of Theology, and a BA in philosophy and theology from the University of Notre Dame.
