It has been celebrated since the 18th century, as was formally instituted in the thirteenth gospel, and this event is one of rejoicing in the wonders God has done, as both the previously barren Elizabeth and the Virgin Mary find themselves with child. Each woman experiences an outpouring of the Holy Spirit: Elizabeth s response is to declare Mary and her child blessed, and Mary s response is the Magnificat, her hymn of praise to God. ~Livingwithchrist.us PRAYER AND REFLECTION May 29 Corpus Christi There are many kinds of hunger and yearning. Jesus teaches about and demonstrates them in his ministry, promising that they will one day be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God. He responds to the hungry crowd, to whom he is preaching about that larger fulfillment that is to come. And he gives himself to us as food again, as a sign of all that God will do for us. We partake of the Eucharist, knowing that there is more on the horizon, where all of our hungers will be truly satisfied. We share in all the hungers of the world, and so we pray for all who long to be fed. For the church: that it may provide the Eucharist to all who yearn for it we pray, For all who suffer from any kind of hunger: for peace, for justice, for sustenance, for work, for health, for freedom, for security we pray, For those who prepare us for or provide for us the Eucharist: for priests, catechists, pastoral ministers and administrators we pray, For those who do not understand the meaning and the power of the Eucharist we pray, For those for whom the Eucharist is new: for new members of the church, for first communicants and those preparing for First Communion we pray, On this Memorial Day weekend, let us pray for those who lost their lives in war, for those in danger today, and for families and friends who care about them we pray, For those in our midst who are lonely or grieving, depressed or anxious; and for all who suffer in unseen ways we pray, For the sick, the dying, and those who have died we pray. PRAYER: God of plenty, you feed us through the sacred body and blood of your beloved son, Jesus. We await the satisfaction of all our deepest yearnings in the coming of your Kingdom. We are grateful that you continue to give us food for the journey until that day comes. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

5 'Dai-lhes vós mesmos de comer'. Corpus Christi: Gn 14,18-20; Sl 108(109); 1Cor 11,23-26; Lc 9, A multiplicação dos pães ressalta a missão salvífica de Jesus, que veio saciar a fome mediante a entrega da vida. Após o retorno da atividade missionária dos apóstolos, isto é, os enviados, Jesus retira-se com eles para Betsaida (9,10). Em oração, como de costume (5,16), ele mostra que o caminho do discipulado consiste em compartilhar sua missão (9,1-6), mas também sua entrega e destino, simbolizados pela cruz (9,18-27). As multidões seguem Jesus, pois eram como ovelhas sem pastor (Mc 6,34). Os discípulos ainda não compreendem a Boa Nova do Reino, pois aconselham despedir o povo, para que possa ir aos povoados e campos vizinhos procurar comida e hospedagem. O Mestre ensina a praticar a solidariedade com seu exemplo e ordena de forma imperativa: Dai-lhes vós mesmos de comer. No relato da instituição da eucaristia (22,19) e do encontro do Ressuscitado com os discípulos de Emaús (24,30), Jesus abençoou o pão, partiu-o e deu aos discípulos. Sua entrega total por amor proporcionou saciar a fome plenamente e encher doze cestos com as sobras. Melquisedec, na 1ª leitura, ao oferecer pão e vinho, prefigura a oferta de Cristo. O salmo é aplicado, em Hb 7, a Cristo, sacerdote para sempre. Na 2ª leitura, o pão partido e o cálice simbolizam a vida de Jesus doada pela nossa salvação. Enquanto celebramos a eucaristia, memorial e anúncio de sua morte e ressurreição, aguardamos a realização plena do Reino. O pão repartido é sinal da presença de Jesus na comunidade que vence a fome e a marginalização. Por meio da comunhão no corpo e sangue de Cristo participamos de sua entrega e nos comprometemos a partilhar. A solenidade de hoje, eco da celebração da quinta-feira santa, nos faz experimentar de forma mística o mistério da entrega do Senhor Jesus. A comunhão com Cristo nos compromete a viver o amor fraterno, a partilha solidária, enquanto aguardamos a realização plena do Reino. Celebrar o memorial da entrega de Jesus nos leva à partilha da vida e dos bens, de forma que não haja fome, miséria e injustiça no mundo em que vivemos. (Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Oração Senhor Jesus Cristo, neste admirável sacramento nos deixastes o memorial da vossa paixão. Dai-nos venerar com tão grande amor o mistério do vosso Corpo e do vosso Sangue, que possamos colher continuamente os frutos da vossa redenção. Vós, que sois Deus com o Pai, na unidade do Espírito Santo. Amém. Pe. Jonas D. Christal ( LEITURAS DA SEMANA: 2a-: 2Pd 1.2-7; Sl 90(91), ab.15c-16 (R/. 2b) ; Mc 12,1-12 3a-: Sf 3, ou Rm 12, 9-16b; Cânt.: Is 12, bcd. 5-6; Lc 1, a-: 2Tm 1, ; Sl 122(123),1-2a. 2bcd (R/.1a) ; Mc 12, a-: 2Tm 2,8-15; Sl 24(25),4-5ab (R/. 4a) ; Mc 12,28b-34 6a-.
