While sitting quietly in front of the entire congregation, I remembered back to one of the best homilies I have ever heard. I unfortunately cannot remember the priests name. He was new to my college in my last year there and every homily he gave I very much enjoyed.
This homily stood out to me because he did not mince words and his point fit perfectly with today's Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
Christ did not say "this is kinda my body" or "this is a representation of my body" or "this is a mixture of my body and bread"... Christ said "this is my body" and "this is my blood" (emphasis added).
The Real Presence, the Body and Blood of our Lord given up freely for us. Mass is such a wonderful and needed celebration and sacrifice!
Peace all!
