WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S FLOCKNOTE
Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)
Corpus Christi is the solemn feast dedicated specifically to celebrating and honoring the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, meaning His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
In the first reading, Moses tells Israel: “Remember… the Lord fed you with manna… to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone” (Deut. 8:2–3). God was teaching His people that hunger is not only physical. Beneath our schedules, successes, and struggles, there is a deeper hunger: to be loved, to be forgiven, to be strengthened, and to be brought home.
Jesus answers that hunger in the Gospel with words that startled His listeners and still stretch us today: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven… whoever eats this bread will live forever” (Jn 6:51).
I want us to notice that Jesus does not merely give advice. Jesus gives Himself.
At every Eucharist, Christ does not say, “Remember my ideas.” Jesus says, “Take and eat.” The One who multiplied loaves now becomes our food. The Creator enters creation and places Himself into our hands.
St. Paul deepens this mystery: “Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body” (1 Cor 10:17). The Eucharist is never a private spirituality. We receive one Lord and become one people. The altar must shape how we speak at home, how we forgive in our families, how we welcome strangers, and how we love those who are difficult.
A gentle test of our Eucharistic faith is this: after receiving Christ, do we become a little more like Christ?
Today Jesus still says: “You do not have to survive on scraps of hope. Come and receive My life.”
And perhaps the greatest miracle of Corpus Christi is not that bread becomes Christ but that receiving Christ, ordinary people like us, slowly become His presence in the world. Do you want to …?
Your Priest,

Loving Jesus, in this month of June, may your Sacred Heart espouse all children, drawing them closer to your heart, and granting them all the graces to realize their unique places as children of God in their homes and in their family of God.

✞ Archdiocese of Kingston 200th Anniversary Pilgrimage to the Holy Land:
Update: I know that there are many who have expressed interest in joining us but are (understandably) taking a wait-and-see approach to register. But if you're seriously interested in this pilgrimage, please secure your spot by completing the registration forms and returning them with a copy of your passport. Note that we will not charge any payments until we know for sure we are going (however, anyone intending to pay by credit card must complete the credit card section). But it's important to secure your spot because there's very high demand and you don't want to miss this opportunity. We're already over 50% booked, and should a stable ceasefire be negotiated and held in the next few weeks, there will be an explosion of demand.
Join Fr. Justin and Fr. Price on a faith-filled pilgrimage to the Holy Land from
October 5-15, 2026. Walk in the footsteps of Our Blessed Lord, deepen your understanding of Sacred Scripture, and experience prayer, mercy, healing, and spiritual renewal in the places where the Word became flesh. Space is limited to 40 pilgrims, so early registration is encouraged. Please see the itinerary in the church.
