Man is not meant to be a solitary being. His existence, spiritually and physically, is defined by those around him, be it friends or a spouse. This Sunday’s Gospel shows us that Jesus’ mission for us can best be achieved by paired followers, rather than a solitary one.
The feast of Corpus Christi allows us to recall that Jesus, the representation of the Old Covenant Passover lamb, gave up his body for us that we might be spiritually nourished and be exempt from sin. As Catholics, we are also called to renew our awareness of the dignity of the human person, created in the image of God.
