Good morning boys and girls, on Sunday we celebrated the feast of Christ’s Body and Blood, this is also know as Corpus Christi so today we are going to take some time to celebrate Jesus-the bread of life. Make sure that you are comfortable, light a little candle 🕯 (if a grown up is with you) this helps us to take time out of our day to remember that Jesus is with us.
When we go to mass there are two very important symbols that remind us of Christ’s body and blood. Can anyone think of what they are?
The chalice (the cup) and the host (the bread). These are very important items we use at mass that become, or hold, Christ’s body and blood.
Why do you think that we celebrate Christ’s body and blood? Why is it important?
Christ’s body and blood are gifts that Jesus began to give us at the Last Supper and finished after he rose from the dead. We also call it the Eucharist. We share the Eucharist together to remind us that we are all united. In school, the boys and girls in primary 5-7 have received Jesus’s body in communion – the Eucharist, however, it is important for us all to receive Jesus into our hearts. We can all do this when we show love and kindness towards others. Perhaps today you could try to show kindness to the people in your family. It could be something simple like helping to tidy your room, help to do the dishes or make a cup of tea. Think of something that will make someone happy.
Have a great day boys and girls, take care and remember to be kind. 😊💕🙏
