It's the Feast of Corpus Christi ("the Body of Christ") and we’re marking it, by remembering how our Lord Jesus pours out his love for us, to be the Bread of life who feeds the deepest hunger of our hearts; his gift to us of Holy Communion, in which we feed on him by faith in our hearts with thanksgiving; and his summons to us, his Church, to share (and be) bread for others, as we live as his Body in the world. We will have an Instructed Eucharist, looking together at the meaning of the different parts of the Eucharistic Liturgy.
We have the opportunity to say “Yes” to the life of God within us, flowing through our veins, as we receive Holy Communion, physically or spiritually, receiving Our Lord into our hearts as we feed on him by faith with thanksgiving.
After this, our Liturgy ends, and the service begins, with a “Sending” to “go forth into the world, rejoicing in the power of the Spirit, and by the power of the Spirit, bearing witness to Jesus and his way of love in all we say and do.
