The Feast of Corpus Christi invites us to contemplate a profound mystery: Christ chooses to remain with us.

Through the Eucharist, Christ's real presence becomes the source and summit of Christian life, reminding us that faith is not merely an idea to be understood but a relationship to be lived.

As we gather around the altar, may today's celebration deepen our gratitude, strengthen our hope, and send us forth to become what we receive–the Body of Christ for the world.
