Fr. Malloy’s Midweek Message. June 6, 2023
This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ . Along with Pentecost and the Feast of the Holy Trinity, this focus on the Eucharist plunges us into the central mystery of our faith: Our God is an incarnate God, a God with and for us. In Jesus, God takes on human flesh, human reality. Our God is as real as the heart pumping in each of us. Our God is as real as the food we eat every day. Our God feeds us as the Israelites were fed with manna in the desert.
