The Feast of Corpus Christi
Christianity has always been the religion of little people and little things. Or, better stated, it is the religion of things which seem small and insignificant, but are actually grand and vital. Jesus announces that the disciple who gives even just a cup of cold water to a child “will surely not lose his reward” (Matthew 10:42). Similarly, Christ declares that the poor widow who put only two small coins into the temple treasury “put in more than all the other contributors” (Mark 12:43). This theme permeates the Gospels; the little things that men scoff at are often the things of God. With this in mind, it is fitting that Jesus Christ, in profound meekness, makes Himself really present to us in the sacrament of the Eucharist. The non-believer sees only a small piece of bread and a sip of wine, not even enough to content the stomach. The Catholic faithful, however, know this sacrament to be the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ; and He is enough to content the soul for all eternity. The feast of Corpus Christi is the celebration of Christ’s true presence in the Holy Eucharist.
