THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST

JUNE 7, 2015 Today the Church focuses on the Eucharist. Today’s readings remind us how connected to ancient blood sacrifices we are when offering our unbloody sacrifice. The reading from Exodus describes a solemn ritual designed so the Israelites would never forget their covenant with God. The reading from the Letter to the Hebrews turns us from those ancient animal sacrifices, the first efforts to worship the living God. Our sacrifice is the body and blood of the Son of God. Because of Christ we have a new covenant. The Gospel from Mark retells the establishment of that covenant, the familiar story of the Last Supper. Juxtaposed with the story of animal sacrifice as it is here, we are challenged to listen with new attention, to remember the great price paid for our salvation. Jesus gave his body and every drop of his blood for us.

THE CUP OF SALVATION Jesus, in Mark’s Gospel, identifies the cup of salvation for us. It is the cup of his blood, the blood of the covenant. This blood fulfills the old covenant, the one marked by Moses when he sprinkled the Israelites with the blood of sacrificed animals. Now we take up the cup of the new covenant, the cup of salvation, and we call upon the name of the Lord. How can this action make a return to the Lord? Only this way: In this action we offer to God the only perfect gift. Alone we are nothing. It is Christ who is the perfect offering. It is through the total gift of his body and blood that we have been redeemed.

Today’s Readings: Ex 24:3–8; Ps 116:12–13, 15–18; Heb 9:11–15; Mk 14:12–16, 22–26

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It has been said that the Church breathes with two lungs, East and West. Some of our family treasures are in the East, and it is interesting to consider how liturgical families developed around differing customs. Centuries before Christ, after the young girl was given to her husband by her father, the spouses were crowned. Christians retained that custom, keeping the wedding in the home, and sometimes inviting a visiting priest or bishop to put the crowns on their heads. By the fourth century, the crowns were seen not as royal crowns, but as the crowns of victory worn by martyrs. The crowns have nothing to do with being “king and queen for a day,” but rather speak of the sacrifice of love poured out fully. There are no vows exchanged at all, but the crowning is followed by a joyful dance by the priest and couple around the Gospel book. Unlike Roman law, which saw the wedding rites as optional, Eastern practice did not recognize a marriage that had not been blessed.

THE RACHEL MINISTRY Every 20 seconds an unborn child is aborted in the United States. In the 30 years since Roe vs. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on demand, the death toll has reached over 55 million.

Come and heal every third Monday of the month at the Marian Shrine in the Cafeteria Building in West Haverstraw, at 7:30pm. The next meeting is on June 15th.
