Description
Fr. Alonso Yap - Homily (En Español)
We reflect on why Corpus Christi celebrates the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, not a past event but a living truth of faith. We connect the meaning of “memorial” to the Holy Mass and ask for the kind of transformation that turns Communion into daily service.
• Corpus Christi as a feast of faith in the Eucharist
• Jesus’ words at the Last Supper as a claim of reality
• “Memorial” as making Christ’s sacrifice present
• The Mass as an encounter with saving power today
• A child’s First Communion question raised to Pope Benedict XVI
• Praying to leave the Eucharist changed and renewed
• Listening to the Word with concrete weekly intentions
• Receiving Communion with a clean heart and growing in adoration
• The Eucharist as a call to serve the hungry and suffering
• The martyrs’ witness that life without the Eucharist collapses
