BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
PRAYER AND REFLECTION
The Body and Blood of Christ
June 2, 2013
Read: Luke 9:11b-17
TODAY is the feast of Corpus Christi — the Body
and Blood of Christ. In the Gospel we will hear
the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with just a
little bread and fish. Our Lord has demonstrated
the abundance that is available to us, has even
made his body and blood our spiritual food. So
why do we act as if there is not enough? Let us
pray today for trust in our God of abundance.
As Christians everywhere have always done, let
us bring our needs to God this day, confident
that our deepest hungers will be satisfied.
Let us pray for Christians all over the world,
that we may live the faith we profess and be for
others the face, hands and voice of Christ on this
earth … we pray,
For people everywhere who suffer without
access to nourishing food, clean water and
effective medicines; and for those who live with
too much and long for a more meaningful life of
sharing God’s bounty with others … we pray,
Let us pray for those who cannot pray: for
those who are distracted or restless or living in
the darkness of despair … we pray,
Let us pray for those who suffer: for those who
live with chronic pain, those who are lonely,
those who are in harm’s way. For those we love
and those for whom we are concerned … we
pray,
For good summer: for warm sun and gentle
rain for our fields and gardens; for times of rest
and renewal with family and friends; for safety
for travelers and for all young people … we pray,
For those who have died, and for those who
are grieving the passing of a loved one … we
pray.
PRAYER:
Gracious God of abundance, you provide
us
this
beautiful
world,
loving
companions, all that we need to be happy
and holy men and women. Give us the
grace to see what is available to us and
open our hearts and minds to receive
your abundant love. We pray always in
Jesus’ name. Amen.

BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
'Dai-lhes vós mesmos de comer'.
Corpus Christi: Gn 14,18-20; Sl 108(109); 1Cor 11,23-26; Lc 9,11-17.
A multiplicação dos pães ressalta a missão salvífica de Jesus, que veio saciar a fome mediante a
entrega da vida. Após o retorno da atividade missionária dos apóstolos, isto é,
os enviados, Jesus retira-se com eles para Betsaida (9,10). Em oração, como
de costume (5,16), ele mostra que o caminho do discipulado consiste em
compartilhar sua missão (9,1-6), mas também sua entrega e destino,
simbolizados pela cruz (9,18-27). As multidões seguem Jesus, pois eram
como ovelhas sem pastor (Mc 6,34). Os discípulos ainda não compreendem a
Boa Nova do Reino, pois aconselham despedir o povo, para que possa ir aos
povoados e campos vizinhos procurar comida e hospedagem. O Mestre
ensina a praticar a solidariedade com seu exemplo e ordena de forma
imperativa: Dai-lhes vós mesmos de comer. No relato da instituição da
eucaristia (22,19) e do encontro do Ressuscitado com os discípulos de Emaús (24,30), Jesus
abençoou o pão, partiu-o e deu aos discípulos. Sua entrega total por amor proporcionou saciar a
fome plenamente e encher doze cestos com as sobras. Melquisedec, na 1ª leitura, ao oferecer
pão e vinho, prefigura a oferta de Cristo. O salmo é aplicado, em Hb 7, a Cristo, sacerdote para
sempre. Na 2ª leitura, o pão partido e o cálice simbolizam a vida de Jesus doada pela nossa
salvação. Enquanto celebramos a eucaristia, memorial e anúncio de sua morte e ressurreição,
aguardamos a realização plena do Reino.
O pão repartido é sinal da presença de Jesus na comunidade que vence a fome e a
marginalização. Por meio da comunhão no corpo e sangue de Cristo participamos de sua
entrega e nos comprometemos a partilhar.
A solenidade de hoje, eco da celebração da quinta-feira santa, nos faz experimentar de forma
mística o mistério da entrega do Senhor Jesus. A comunhão com Cristo nos compromete a viver
o amor fraterno, a partilha solidária, enquanto aguardamos a realização plena do Reino. Celebrar
o memorial da entrega de Jesus nos leva à partilha da vida e dos bens, de forma que não haja
fome, miséria e injustiça no mundo em que vivemos.
(Extraído da Revista de Liturgia)
Oração
Senhor Jesus Cristo, neste admirável sacramento nos deixastes o memorial da vossa paixão.
Dai-nos venerar com tão grande amor o mistério do vosso Corpo e do vosso Sangue,
que possamos colher continuamente os frutos da vossa redenção.
Vós, que sois Deus com o Pai, na unidade do Espírito Santo.
Amém.
Pe. Jonas D. Christal
