CORPUS CHRISTI: THE REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST WITH US: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: THE SOLEMNITY OF THE BODY AND THE BLOOD OF CHRIST (CORPUS CHRISTI) CYCLE A, 2023

The Solemnity of Corpus Christi was intended to affirm Catholic belief in the Real Presence of the Risen Christ in the consecrated bread and wine at Mass. A firm belief in the Body and Blood of Christ and regular reception of the Blessed Sacrament or Holy Communion is fundamental to Catholic doctrine, spirituality and growth in holiness. It is our inheritance.
