Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 14:12-16.22-26. On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?" He sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city and a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. Follow him. Wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"' Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there." The disciples then went off, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them; and they prepared the Passover. While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God." Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. May the Lord’s healing and life-giving touch be upon those whose cross is too heavy to bear. Amen.

DeNeve Adult Faith Formation Coordinator, Diocese of Honolulu I love Catholic Sacraments; the Real Presence is important to my faith. Therefore, I am deeply concerned when we Catholics (usually unintentionally) talk about Eucharist and the Real Presence in a way that divides rather than unites. We are being divisive when we belittle nondenominational Christians who pass around small cups of juice. We are divisive when we forget that some Protestant denominations also believe in the Real Presence. (These denominations primarily differ on when the bread becomes Jesus or how long it stays Jesus.) Divisive when we tell our less active Catholic brothers and sisters that they just need to try harder if they don’t understand and/or believe in the Real Presence. Know that I am in no way questioning Catholic doctrine. Indeed, it is our doctrine that tells me that Eucharist is first, foremost and always a unitive Sacrament. Jesus unites himself to us and we unite ourselves to one another. That we cannot share Eucharist with non-Catholics is a reality that demands our grief. Yes, let’s be proud of this special, life-giving gift. But, we disrespect this holy Sacrament of union when we use it to feel superior to others.

Amen. - Author unknown The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ DECIDE "He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 'Take this,' He said, 'this is My body.' " –Mark 14:22 Corpus Christi At the Passover meal, Jesus took bread and said: "This is My body." Then He took a cup of wine and said: "This is My blood, the blood of the covenant" (Mk 14:24). Jesus means this literally. Despite losing many of His disciples because of this (Jn 6:60, 66), Jesus insisted that His flesh was real food and His blood real drink (Jn 6:55). Do you believe that Jesus gives us His body and blood in Holy Communion? The Lord does not want you to "straddle the issue" (see 1 Kgs 18:21), be lukewarm (Rv 3:16), or persist in doubt (see Jn 20:27). If you believe in the eucharistic Jesus, you will try to go to Mass and receive His body and blood daily or as often as possible. In eucharistic The High Feast of the Lamb ((detail) Ghent altarpiece - Jan Van Eyck 16th c love, you will make visits to church to be in the intimate presence of Jesus, the Blessed Sacrament. If you decide to live the "mystery of faith" in the body and blood of Jesus, you will center your life on Jesus, the Eucharist. By grace decide once and for all to live and die for the eucharistic Jesus. PRAYER: "Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore. O, make us love Thee more and more." PROMISE: "How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good He has done for me? The cup of salvation I will take up, and I will call upon the name of the Lord." –Ps "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." -- John 6:53, 54 Hebrews portrays Christ as High Priest, entering the Holy of Holies with his own Blood to seal the New Covenant that frees us from death. In our day, medical emergencies, natural disasters, and global violence prompt continual pleas for lifesaving blood donors, helping us appreciate Jesus’ outpouring of his lifeblood for our salvation. Instituted at the Last Supper, offered on the cross, Jesus’ sacrifice and supper are shared at every Eucharist. 116:12-13 PRAISE: Praise You, risen Jesus, eucharistic Lamb of God! You have triumphed over death and given us "life from the dead!" (Rm 11:15) Solemnity of Question of the Week? In what specific way this week can I translate my belief in Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist into my practical service of Christ really present in someone who needs my love?
