As we celebrate again the Feast of Corpus Christi, the Eucharistic feast of the Body and  Blood of Christ, we do our prayer in this meditation on the origin of the feast in the thirteenth century and its meaning for us today, helping us to grow in love for Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. We will consider:

• the history of the feast, going back to St Juliana of Liege and the Eucharistic miracle of Bolsena-Orvieto
• the scriptural passages in which Jesus promises the gift of his Body and Blood and institutes the Eucharist
• the constant tradition of belief in the Real Presence
• the ways in which we can live out and grow in our love for the Eucharist
