This feast reminds us of the mystical and physical manifestations of the Body of Christ, namely the Holy Eucharist and the Church. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely, Christ Himself, our Pasch. At every Mass, our attention is called to the Eucharist and the Real Presence of Christ in it. the Eucharist, we receive the grace to live out our roles as different parts of the physical Body of Christ. Nourished by the mystical Body of Christ, we pray that we will all be transformed into the true physical Body of Christ, manifesting His presence in the world today.
