Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (“Corpus Christi”) – June 18, 2017
Gospel Reading: John 6:51-58
“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.”
The Catholic school teacher is called to embrace a sacramental mentality. The Eucharist, which is the “source and summit of the Christian life” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1324), enlivens the Catholic school teacher by focusing our attention on Christ, who gave his life for the opportunity of our salvation. In order to perform effectively as educators in Catholic schools, we must be sure to draw our students to a greater respect and appreciation for the sacraments, with the Eucharist as their capstone.
For this coming school year, how will you invite your students to appreciate the richness of the sacramental life, centered on the Eucharist?
