A Necessary Feast
Feast of Corpus Christi 2025
Our Lord Himself expressed the need for the institution of this feast. It was necessary from both a liturgical point of view and for the spiritual life of all the faithful. We are unable to celebrate properly this greatest of all sacraments on Holy Thursday, because it is overshadowed by the sorrow of Christ’s Passion. At the beginning of our spiritual journey following the feast of Pentecost, this day points us to the greatest aid we are given to achieve our last end – the Blessed Sacrament. We are brought into the Faith because of the Holy Eucharist, we grow in the Faith because of It, and receiving Holy Communion is the promise of our future glory. This sacrament, like the manna from Heaven, strengthens us throughout that arduous sojourn in the desert of our lives.
