Weekly Update: June 8-12, 2026

Today is Corpus Christi, or the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. On this day we celebrate the gift of Jesus present in the Eucharist.

Lord Jesus Christ,
You gave us the Eucharist as a memorial of Your suffering and death.
May our worship of this Sacrament of Your Body and Blood
help us to experience the salvation You won for us
and the peace of Your kingdom.
Amen
