The Body and Blood Of Christ (Corpus Christi – Reflection of the readings- Kevin Gaffney RCIA Instructor.
1st Reading: Deuteronomy 8:2-3
2nd Reading 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
Gospel John 6:51-58
On this Sunday we reflect on the readings of Corpus Christi or the Body Of Christ. All three of the readings are rich in the symbolism of eating, being fed, and how God has provided food for his people. They are so divinely intertwined that it is difficult to reflect on one reading without the other.
In Deuteronomy 8:2-3 the text offers us the first references to the dual path between the physical and spiritual act of consuming food. God used Israel’s early experiences in the desert to show his children that both the physical and spiritual aspects of life are from God. That physical sustenance is closely linked to spiritual sustenance. With food or without food, could his people look to God and God’s graciousness to provide for his people.
