7th Jun, 2015 • CORPUS CHRISTI • Year B

Entrance Antiphon Cf. Ps 26: 1-2 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; whom should I dread? When those who do evil draw near, they stumble and fall. First reading Genesis 3:9-15 The Lord God called to the man after he had eaten of the tree. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden;’ he replied ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked ‘Have you been eating of the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me the fruit, and I ate it.’ Then the Lord God asked the woman, ‘What is this you have done?’ The woman replied, ‘The serpent tempted me and I ate.’

Then the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, ‘Be accursed beyond all cattle, all wild beasts. You shall crawl on your belly and eat dust every day of your life. I will make you enemies of each other: you and the woman, your offspring and her offspring. It will crush your head and you will strike its heel.’ Psalm Psalm 129:1-8 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,

Lord, hear my voice! O let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleading. R: With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption. If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,

Lord, who would survive? But with you is found forgiveness:

for this we revere you. R My soul is waiting for the Lord.

I count on his word. My soul is longing for the Lord

more than watchman for daybreak. (Let the watchman count on daybreak

and Israel on the Lord.) R Because with the Lord there is mercy

and fullness of redemption, Israel indeed he will redeem

from all its iniquity. R

Second reading 2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1 As we have the same spirit of faith that is mentioned in scripture – I believed, and therefore I spoke – we too believe and therefore we too speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus to life will raise us with Jesus in our turn, and put us by his side and you with us. You see, all this is for your benefit, so that the more grace is multiplied among people, the more thanksgiving there will be, to the glory of God.

That is why there is no weakening on our part, and instead, though this outer man of ours may be falling into decay, the inner man is re-newed day by day. Yes, the troubles which are soon over, though they weigh little, train us for the carrying of a weight of eternal glory which is out of all proportion to them. And so we have no eyes for things that are visible, but only for things that are invisible; for visible things last only for a time, and the invisible things are eternal.

For we know that when the tent that we live in on earth is folded up, there is a house built by God for us, an everlasting home not made by human hands, in the heavens.

Gospel Acclamation Jn14:23 Alleluia, alleluia! If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him. Alleluia! Gospel Mark 3:20-35 Jesus went home with his disciples, and such a crowd collected that they could not even have a meal. When his relatives heard of this, they set out to take charge of him, convinced he was out of his mind.

The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, ‘Beelzebul is in him’ and, ‘It is through the prince of devils that he casts devils out.’ So he called them to him and spoke to them in parables, ‘How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot last. And if a household is divided against itself, that household can never stand. Now if Satan has rebelled against him-self and is divided, he cannot stand either – it is the end of him. But no one can make his way into a strong man’s house and burgle his proper-ty unless he has tied up the strong man first. Only then can he burgle his house.

‘I tell you solemnly, all men’s sins will be forgiven, and all their blas-phemies; but let anyone blaspheme against the Holy Spirit and he will never have forgiveness: he is guilty of an eternal sin.’ This was because they were saying, ‘An unclean spirit is in him.’

His mother and brothers now arrived and, standing outside, sent in a message asking for him. A crowd was sitting round him at the time the message was passed to him, ‘Your mother and brothers and sisters are outside asking for you.’ He replied, ‘Who are my mother and my brothers?’ And looking round at those sitting in a circle about him, he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother.’ Communion Antiphon Ps 17: 3 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my saving strength.

Sunday 11.15am Mass

Introit He fed them with the finest of wheat, alleluia; and with honey from the rock he satisfied them, alleluia, alleluia.

Processional Hymn 110 Alleluia, sing to Jesus

Offertory 462 Love is his word

Comm. Antiphon He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, abides in me, and I in him, says the Lord.

Communion Hymn 509 Of the glorious body telling

480 My God, and is thy table

Recessional 497 Now thank we all our God

Meditation The Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ originat-ed in the diocese of Liège (1246) on the basis of revela-tions of Juliana of Cornillon. It was accepted with such enthusiasm throughout Europe that in 1264 it was promulgated for the entire Latin Church. From the beginning the feast commemorated both the body and the blood of the Lord. This original unity has been restored in the post-Vatican II celebration. Human beings are so essentially physical that even our lan-guage of the spirit derives from our bodies. To be a member of an organization requires that we be incor-porated into that organization. Publications of societies are said to be organs of these groups. Jesus and his Church have a keen grasp of this reality in the celebrations we call sacraments. Sacraments address themselves to the Church which is

Christ's Body and to individual members of that Body. The source and summit of all the Church's life is pro-fessed to be the celebration of the Eucharist where the Body of Christ partakes of what it is. On this Sunday we celebrate our identity as Christ's Body and profess our belief that the life-giving and life supporting blood which flows among us is Christ's very life. On this Sunday we direct our attention to the symbol which makes all other symbols possible. The earthly language of bodies and blood fills the scriptures. But those same scriptures proclaim that the pouring forth of blood is unto the nourishment of God's people. Flesh, blood, bread and wine are the products of de-structive processes which bring them to human tables as food to sustain a family. Christ immersed himself in those processes which brought him to the table of the human family as the one food and drink which changes the eater into the eaten. In him we truly become what we eat and drink.
