Reflection by Rev. Leonard N. Peterson Those charitable appeals that land in our mailboxes seem to have a way of multiplying. They also seem to arrive so frequently that lead us to a toss into the trash basket. Their senders could care less about their competitors for our dollars. Yet I find there is a special power in any appeal that calls for aid to those who hunger. Add to the brochure a picture of a famished child and you have my attention. I reach for my checkbook. If you have ever gone on a diet to lose weight, or even fasted authentically during Lent, you know there is the slight pain in your stomach. It is so used to more and more often. But in those two situations there is certainly no real fear, because we know that just behind the refrigerator door lies the comfort of available food. Not true for those starving people on our planet. Jesus knew all about physical hunger. He fasted for forty days. Being “like us in all things but sin” as one Mass preface puts it, He experienced the pain of hunger. But He also knew much about our spiritual hunger for God. For union with our Maker, which whether or not we acknowledge it, is “hard wired” in our makeup. We may try to stifle this other form of hunger with all kinds of “stuffing.” You know what I mean. It’s all those distractions we permit. The tangible toys of material success. The hobbies that become habits. Or the habits that become addictions. But we remain hungry long after the initial attraction of those things is gone. The goodness of God is everlasting. He has a long record of feeding us. The Hebrews had manna to survive in their desert wanderings. The five thousand had their fill of bread and fish. But on the night of the Last Supper we learned that those were mere foreshadows of what He would do with the Passover bread and wine. Quite simply, the real Jesus took real bread and real wine and changed them into Himself. This He followed with the command to do this in His memory. Two months ago, on Holy Thursday, we were too distracted by Our Lord’s awful agony in the garden; His powerful gesture of foot washing; His creation of the New Testament priesthood and even the tragic betrayal of Judas to give our full attention to the Eucharist. So each year the Church puts this feast of “Corpus Christi” on the calendar to focus on the most precious of the seven gifts of the sacraments. It is this jewel that is, in her way of expressing it officially, “the source and summit” of the Christian life. The main reason for the Church’s existence. The principal reason for the priesthood. It is important for us Catholics, especially in our pluralistic culture and one that prefers everybody to blend in, that we be very clear in how we differ from Protestant Christians, who believe that the Eucharist is only a symbol. That Christ was only speaking metaphorically. We instead believe that the bread and wine, consecrated at the Mass, through the words of Christ spoken by the celebrating priest, really and truly become the living Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Even if this feeding seems to have no immediate effect, our souls have been fed. Spiritual hunger is satisfied. Through the Eucharist our faith has the chance to be renewed. Also, our hope becomes reinvigorated and our charity is re-energized. This means ultimately that none of us need go spiritually hungry ever again. Humbly we pray “Our Father, who art in heaven, give us this day our daily Bread.” First Reading: Genesis 14:18-20 Melchizedek was the king of Salem but he acts as a priest also. First he sets a feast of bread and wine for Abram after his victory over the armies of five kings. Then he offers Abram a blessing. Second Reading: I Corinthians 11:23-26 Addressing the Corinthian community, Paul is aware that they have not been living as a loving group, but have split into factions. This makes their Eucharist celebrations faulty. He recounts for them Jesus’ offering to the Father through the consecrated bread and wine of His Body and Blood. Gospel: Luke 9:11b-17 The miraculous feeding of the five thousand foreshadows the Eucharist. Luke has Our Lord using the same words over the bread and fish as He will use over the bread and wine at the Last Supper. Posted in ReflectionsPost navigation
San Miguel Arcángel,defendernos en la batalla, Sé nuestra protección contra la maldad y las trampas del diablo. Que Dios lo reprenda, oremos humildemente; y haz tú, oh príncipe de la hueste celestial,por el poder de Dios, arroja al infierno Satanás y todos los espíritus malignos que vagan por el mundo buscando la ruina de souan Amen
