Gospel Reading Luke 9:11b-17
They all ate and were satisfied.
Today, the second Sunday after Pentecost, we celebrate a second solemnity, which marks our return to Ordinary Time. Today is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. In this miracle Jesus is doing more than feeding hungry people as God did for the Israelites. The bread he gives is his body, which he will continue to give as often as the community breaks bread in remembrance of him in the Eucharist.
