基督聖體聖血節

今天教會所慶祝的基督聖體聖血,正是我們信眾生活的泉源和高峰。耶穌藉自己的體血洗淨人類之罪,贖回我們的生命,這信德的奧蹟使我們與天主生命相通,讓基督寄居我內,並能與其他兄弟姐妹共融。但這慶節的舉行,實有賴朱利安娜修女的神視和推動,及教宗吳爾雅四世的支持和欽定。

此慶節之始,便有聖體遊行,藉由個別團體的活動把基督的恩寵廣施於社區。這亦提醒我們,生活於旅途教會中,人生只是過客,會遇到各種挑戰,風險和誘惑,我們需要基督陪伴,與我同行。

聖體聖事不單是基督把自己的體血分施出去,更重要的是聖化祂的奧體—教會,並提升奧體中的我們。在慶祝此佳節時,我們應多參與本堂朝拜聖體,求上主藉聖體聖事感動我的靈魂和心志,讓我們生活於此世而不屬於此世,只屬於我主基督。

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)

Happy Corpus Christi feast day! The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is not just a celebration in Jesus giving Himself, His Body and Blood, but is more importantly observing the Eucharist’s transformation of the Church. We are transformed by the Eucharist, and are Christ’s mystical Body with the Church, into the living presence of our Divine Lord Jesus present in this world. 

Today’s Feast is like the Church in Procession, as the feast originally began with the congregation marching in procession with the Blessed Sacrament. It has evolved to become an outward visible expression of the individual communal movement of humankind toward Christ, reminding us that we are a people enroute. Much like the route of human procession in life, we will face changes, pitfalls and detours, and we should require Christ’s presence, to navigate our journey. 

The restoration of Eucharistic Adoration on every Friday at our parish is sign of our faith in Jesus Christ. Any revitalization of parish life should begin with Eucharist that transforms the Church, His Body. Welcome back to our Blessed Sacrament and Eucharistic Adoration!
