A brief history of the feast of Corpus Christi

The institution of Corpus Christi as a feast in the Christian calendar resulted from approximately forty years of work on the part of Juliana of Liegravege a 13th-century Norbertine canoness also known as Juliana de Cornillon born between 1191 and 1192 in Liegravege Belgium a city where there were groups of women dedicated to Eucharistic worship

Guided by exemplary priests they lived together devoting themselves to prayer and to charitable works Orphaned at the age of five she and her sister Agnes were entrusted to the care of the Augustinian nuns at the convent and leprosarium of Mont-Cornillon where Juliana developed a special veneration for the Blessed Sacrament

Gospel Reflection Mark 1412-16 22-26

lsquoThis is my Bodyrsquo

In the gospel stories Jesus is always creating community around him sharing meals and conversation Jesus creates community around us in a beautiful sacred way when we gather to hear the Word break the bread pass the cup and forgive one another The Eucharist brings us together helps us remember Jesus and sends us out into the world to share Jesus and his love with everyone

Just as Jesus is bread broken for others the followers of Christ are entrusted with Jesusrsquo mission to create community be broken for others poured out for many If people are to know Christ it can only be through us his Risen Body Lord help me to be a Eucharistic person from Madonna Jesuit Publication
