COME AND PRAY A WHILE
Next Sunday, 29 May, is the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ – Corpus Christi. As a way of celebrating this gift in our lives, there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament after the 12.30pm Mass until 6pm with Benediction. We are also inviting many of the children who recently made they First Holy Communion to join us from abut 5.30pm with a small procession around the church.
Exposition and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is not only a very old devotion in our Church, but one that highlights the fundamental
mystery of the Holy Eucharist that our Lord is truly present, body and blood, soul and divinity in the Blessed Sacrament. In his 1980
Holy Thursday letter to priests, Dominicae cenae, Pope John Paul II wrote, Since the
Eucharistic mystery was instituted out of love, and makes Christ sacramentally present, it is worthy of thanksgiving and worship. And this worship must be prominent in all our
encounters with the Blessed Sacrament
While emphasizing the importance of the Mass, the Holy Father then recommends various forms of Eucharistic devotion: personal prayer and periods of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, exposition and benediction, Forty Hours devotion, Eucharistic processions,
Eucharistic Congresses, and a special observance of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. All of these devotions which focus on the Blessed Sacrament aid in our spiritual union with our Lord. As Jesus said, I myself am the Bread of Life. No one who comes to me shall ever be hungry, no one who believes in me shall ever thirst (John 6:35).
We invite as many as possible to come and pray a while and be part of this great
tradition next Sunday afternoon.
