DAY 8: June 17 (Friday after the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity)
The Eucharist in the Life of the Church
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
As the Solemnity of Corpus Christi approaches, we recall that the Church’s life flows from the Eucharist and returns to it.
They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the
communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.
ACTS 2:42
A brief period of silence is observed.
V. Taste and see that the LORD is good.
R. Blessed the man who seeks refuge in him.
Concluding Prayer
O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament
have left us a memorial of your Passion,
grant us, we pray,
so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood
that we may always experience in ourselves
the fruits of your redemption.
Who live and reign with God the Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Jesus, Lord of the Church, grant that by partaking of your Body and Blood we may become one body and one spirit in you.
Amen.
