Hi, guys. Thanks to those of you who sent me feedbacks on my last mail.   This Sunday was the feast of Corpus Christi - the solemn celebration of the institution of the Real Presence of our Lord's Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Blessed Eucharist. The scriptural passages cited below, which were read on this day, and which I am sure will fill you with joy as you read them, capture  the essence of this miracle and mystery.   1. Deutoronomy 8: 2-3, 14-16 2. 1 Corinthians 10: 16-17 3. John 6: 51-58   The manna and quail in the desert and later the bread of presence in the tabernacle were mere foreshadowing of the Lord's promise to feed his people with his Body and Blood. Remember that God commanded the Israelites to gather no more than enough manna for one day. This was because He wanted them to depend entirely on his divine providence and come to him daily to be fed. We too must approach the Lord's table daily if possible because it is the most potent remedy for our frailties, and  an inexhaustible source of strenght for our journey to heaven. Even the most mind blowing technology and medical cure invented by man pales in comparison with this life giving and sustaining force.   In many countries Christians today process through the streets and roads of cities and towns carrying the Blessed Eucharist in a public display of their faith. It is as if Jesus is passing by through the alleyways of Palestine and we are part of the crowd that presses very close to hear Him. Some of us like the ten leppers are covered with the uncleanliness of sin and so we cry out: "Lord, if you will you have the power to make me whole!" Others still, are blinded by the things of this world and like the blind man of Jericho, we each cry out at the top of our voices: " Lord, that I may see!". And He heals us all and brings us out from the darkness into the light because there is mighty power in His Body and Blood!
