TOPIC: DO WE TREASURE THE GIFT OF THE EUCHARIST IN OUR LIFE?
First Reading: James 5: 1-6
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 49: 14-15ab, 15cd-16, 17-18, 19-20
Alleluia: First Thessalonians 2: 13
Gospel: Mark 9: 41-50
Today’s Gospel clearly reveals this truth: “While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said; ‘Take it, this is my Body.’ Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, ‘This is my Blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.’” (Mark 14:22-24) Because we all share in Christ’s Priesthood through the Sacrament of Baptism, He is the model for all of us.
Today’s Feast is a great gift from Mother Church. Today we focus our eyes on the Priesthood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The more we understand what it means when we say Jesus is our Eternal High Priest, the more we are filled with gratitude because He loves us.
This is the 1487th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Rouquel Ponte, a member of the CFC Board of Elders, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
