The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (C)
Gospel text
Lk 9:11b-17
Lk 9:11b-17
Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing over them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. They all ate and were satisfied.
Gospel's Commentary
Today we witness the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes: it was a foreshadowing of the Eucharist. Everyone ate! They were satisfied! There was enough for all—and more left over! That’s how God’s Love is: abundant to infinity.
— Centuries later, the generously sacrificed (and risen!) Body of Christ continues to be broken and shared each day among millions and millions of His followers. There is still enough for everyone: the only “limits” are those we impose through our lack of faith.
