June 18, 2006 Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ
FIRST READING:
Ex. 24, 3-8 "This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you."
RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
Ps. 116 "I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord." or "Alleluia."
SECOND READING:
Heb. 9, 11-15 "The blood of Christ will purify our inner selves."
SEQUENCE:
"Sing forth, O Zion, sweetly sing."
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:
Jn. 6: 51-58 "I am the living bread from heaven, says the Lord; if anyone eats this bread he will live for ever."
GOSPEL:
Mk. 14: 12-16, 22-26 "This is my body. This is my blood."
FOCUS: When we partake of the bread and wine of the Eucharist we experience Christ within us as love, and light, and strength.
This is the food that nourishes our love of God.
REFLECTION: My heaven is hidden in that small host where Jesus, my Spouse, hides out of love. In that divine home I find
life, and there, my tender Savior listens to me, night and day. What a happy moment it is when, in your tenderness, you
come, my Beloved, and transform me into you. This union of love, this unfathomable ecstacy, is my heaven!
St. Therese of Lisieux
APPLYING THE READINGS TO THE LITURGY: Just as Jesus multiplied food to feed his hungry followers, so too does God
multiply our strength and talents through the Eucharist, giving us heightened capacity to nourish the lives around us.
Introductory Rite:
The Rite of Sprinkling with Holy Water: Make a connection between the Eucharist and the covenant made between God and us at
baptism. Or
Penitential Rite: Third, with sixth set of sample invocations.
General Intercessions:
Introduction: My sisters and brothers, let us allow ourselves to feel the love of God. (Stretch up, look up slightly, close
your eyes, and breathe deeply. Just for a moment.)
Through this common prayer, let us ask God that the whole world perceive the love of Christ:
¥ For the Holy Church of God: that the Lord guide and protect it;
¥ For all the peoples of the world: May the Lord guide us to peace and harmony;
¥ For all our sisters and brothers in need: May the Lord strengthen us, through his body and blood, to assist them;
¥ For ourselves and our community: May we live in ways that please God.
Emphasize the liturgy of the Eucharist through a special ritualized preparation of the Altar during the preparation of the
gifts.
Preface: Second preface for the Holy Eucharist
Singing the Eucharistic prayer can further emphasize this section as the central part of our Sunday gathering. Consider using
the second eucharistic prayer for children. This prayer is full of responses for the assembly and will involve the assembly
more deeply in the liturgy.
Concluding Rite:
Prayers over the People: Third or eighteenth
RCIA/Faith Formation
We may never understand God in this life, so the Eucharist is of paramount importance to us. It gives us the grace and
strength to believe something we cannot comprehend.
Jesus’ followers were fed through the miracle of multiplying bread and fish. There was even food left over.
¥ What connection can we make
between this miracle and the
Eucharist?
The Eucharist is a source of hope, faith and encouragement to us who live in a difficult world and who practice a difficult
faith.
Beware, however, of letting hope become delusion. Delusion will always keep you from seeing God.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word
A good meal is often associated with celebrations and we derive
much pleasure from sharing such a meal with each other. Discuss the idea that the liturgy contains the most important meal
of all:a meal that feeds our hearts and helps us to experience God in our lives. And it brings us together as a family of
Christians.
An alternate theme could focus on God being like the leaven in bread, increasing our strength and capacities. God does not
change us into different people but helps us to refine and understand ourselves.
