Spirit and Truth
Holy Hour
"Make Reparation for the ingratitude of
men. Spend an hour in prayer to appease divine justice, to implore mercy
for sinners, to honor Me, to console Me for My bitter suffering when
abandoned by My Apostles, when they did not WATCH ONE HOUR WITH ME."
~ Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque ~
Happy Feast of Corpus Christi
Corpus Christi, therefore, is a unique feast and constitutes an
important encounter of faith and praise for every Christian community.
This feast originated in a specific historical and cultural context: it
was born for the very precise purpose of openly reaffirming the faith
of the People of God in Jesus Christ, alive and truly present in the
Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. It is a feast that was established
in order to publicly adore, praise and thank the Lord, who continues
"to love us "to the end', even to offering us his body and his blood" (
Pope Benedict Sacramentum Caritatis,
n. 1).
