Corpus Christi Feast


THE COVENANT OF EUCHARIST

The institution of Corpus Christi as a feast in the Christian calendar originated in Belgium through the work of Juliana of Liège who was born in 1193. Juliana was a nun and mystic who had a series of visions in which she was instructed by Our Lord to work to establish a liturgical feast for the Holy Eucharist. Soon after her death, Pope Urban instituted the feast of Corpus Christi for the Universal Church in 1264. At the Last Supper Jesus transformed the bread into his body and similarly the vine into his blood. Christians have adopted the Eucharist as the primary form of their worship. According to the author of the Letter to the Hebrews Jesus’ sacrifice is far superior because he has shed his own blood for the redemption of his people. In the Gospel, the disciples make preparations for the Last Supper during which Jesus institutes the Eucharist. Do we draw nourishment and strength from the Eucharist?
