Reflection – Body and Blood of Jesus : The Solemnity of the Most Holy
Body and Blood of Christ is also known as the Solemnity of Corpus Christi,
which translates from Latin to "Body of Christ." This feast originated in
France in the mid thirteenth century and was extended to the whole Church
by Pope Urban IV in 1264. This feast is celebrated on the Thursday following
the Trinity Sunday or, as in the USA, on the Sunday following that feast.
This feast calls us to focus on two manifestations of the Body of Christ, the
Holy Eucharist and the Church. The primary purpose of this feast is to focus
our attention on the Eucharist. The opening prayer at Mass calls our attention
to Jesus' suffering and death and our worship of Him, especially in the
Eucharist.
At every Mass our attention is called to the Eucharist and the Real Presence of
Christ in it. The secondary focus of this feast is upon the Body of Christ as it is
present in the Church. The Church is called the Body of Christ because of the
intimate communion which Jesus shares with his disciples. He expresses this in
the gospels by using the metaphor of a body in which He is the head. This
image helps keep in focus both the unity and the diversity of the Church.
The Feast of Corpus Christi is commonly used as an opportunity for public
Eucharistic processions, which serves as a sign of common faith and
adoration. Our worship of Jesus in His Body and Blood calls us to offer to God
our Father a pledge of undivided love and an offering of ourselves to the
service of others
Baptism Course

Tobernalt Holy Well
The Summer period invites us to walk around the Holy Well and visit the various
shrines. Here in the outdoors we are called to ponder on our deep spirituality and give
thanks for all those who have kept alive our faith.

Shaggy Dog Story – Tainted with the same Brush !!
A man is taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a
little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog. He runs over and starts fighting
with the dog. He succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A
policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says, 'You are a
hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers, 'Brave New Yorker
saves the life of little girl'.
The man says, 'But I am not a New Yorker! ‘‘Oh, then it will say in
newspapers in the morning, "Brave American saves life of little girl",' the
policeman answers.’ But I am not an American!' says the man. 'Oh, what

3. are you then?' 'The man says: - 'I am a Saudi!' The next day the
newspaper says, 'Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog.'
