Feast of Corpus Christi 2024
We should strive to better understand the feast of Corpus Christi from both a historical and doctrinal perspective. The Church is called to celebrate today with even greater joy and reverence knowing that the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist is so ignored, unknown, and attacked. The Holy Eucharist is both a sacrifice and a sacrament. The sacrifice is remembered on Holy Thursday, while the sacramental aspect is celebrated today. Christ deliberately called for two consecrations at the Mass, so that under the separation of these signs the mystical sacrifice would take place. We are at the Cross in a mystical way, and receiving God in this sacrament brings us into the Trinitarian life. We must not only adore Our Lord and thank Him today, but also make reparation for all our sins and those of our fellow man.
