Father Csaba’s reflection on today’s gospel….
Thursday 15 June 2017 The Feast of Corpus Christi- The Holy Body and Blood of Christ
According to our scientists energy originates from matter, and from energy matter!! Love is the greatest energy in our world ! The pure love of God two thousand years ago, to Mary’s “Yes” of acceptance, the Word became flesh. I believe and profess , that in every holy mass to our faltering “yes” God’s love becomes flesh again, becomes bread , and the same infinite goodness and love comes among us in the Holy Eucharist ! I bow my head before this great mystery.
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God, and he healed those who needed to be cured. As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve approached him and said, "Dismiss the crowd so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms and find lodging and provisions; for we are in a deserted place here."
He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves." They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have, unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people." Now the men there numbered about five thousand. Then he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty." They did so and made them all sit down.
Then 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. And when the leftover fragments were picked up, they filled twelve wicker baskets.
Luke 9, 11b-17
