Corpus Christi Sunday - Year A - June 7, 2026

 Corpus Christi Year A invites us to think about what it means to receive Jesus in the Eucharist. The readings help us see how God feeds His people and draws them together as one.

• Living Bread from Heaven: Jesus calls Himself the living bread. This reminds us that the Eucharist is not just a symbol, but real food for our souls.
• God Provides in Hard Times: In the desert, God gave manna and water to His people. This shows He cares for us even when things are hard.
• Unity Through the Eucharist: Sharing one bread brings us together. The Eucharist makes us one Church, one body in Christ.
• True Life in Christ: Jesus says we must eat His flesh and drink His blood to have life. The Eucharist connects us to eternal life.
• Trusting God’s Word: God told His people they live by His word, not just by bread. We are reminded to listen and trust Him, especially when we are unsure.
• Sacrifice and Gift: The cup we bless reminds us of Christ’s sacrifice. In every Mass, we remember His love and offer ourselves back to Him.
• Memory of Salvation: God told His people to remember what He did for them. The Eucharist helps us remember Jesus and what He has done to save us.

Corpus Christi Year A calls us to treasure the gift of the Eucharist. It reminds us that Jesus is with us in every Mass, feeding us and making us one. (Source: https://young-catholics.com/706/corpus-christi-year-a/#google_vignette )

First Reading                                          Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24
God did not make death,
nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living.
For he fashioned all things that they might have being;
and the creatures of the world are wholesome,
and there is not a destructive drug among them
nor any domain of the netherworld on earth,
for justice is undying.
For God formed man to be imperishable;
the image of his own nature he made him.
But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world,
and they who belong to his company experience it.
Responsorial Psalm                                     Ps 30:2, 4, 5-6, 11, 12, 13
R. (2a) I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
I will extol you, O LORD, for you drew me clear
and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld;
you preserved me from among those going down into the pit.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger lasts but a moment;
a lifetime, his good will.
At nightfall, weeping enters in,
but with the dawn, rejoicing.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me;
O LORD, be my helper.
You changed my mourning into dancing;
O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
R. I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.
Second Reading                                        2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13-15
Brothers and sisters:
As you excel in every respect, in faith, discourse,
knowledge, all earnestness, and in the love we have for you,
may you excel in this gracious act also.
For you know the gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though he was rich, for your sake he became poor,
so that by his poverty you might become rich.
Not that others should have relief while you are burdened,
but that as a matter of equality
your abundance at the present time should supply their needs,
so that their abundance may also supply your needs,
that there may be equality.
As it is written:
Whoever had much did not have more,
and whoever had little did not have less.

Gospel                                         Mk 5:21-43
When Jesus had crossed again in the boat
to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea.
One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward.
Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying,
"My daughter is at the point of death. 
Please, come lay your hands on her
that she may get well and live."
He went off with him,
and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.
There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years.
She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors
and had spent all that she had.
Yet she was not helped but only grew worse.
She had heard about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd
and touched his cloak.
She said, "If I but touch his clothes, I shall be cured."
Immediately her flow of blood dried up.
She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from him,
turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who has touched my clothes?"
But his disciples said to Jesus,

"You see how the crowd is pressing upon you,
and yet you ask, 'Who touched me?'"
And he looked around to see who had done it.
The woman, realizing what had happened to her,
approached in fear and trembling.
She fell down before Jesus and told him the whole truth.
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you.
Go in peace and be cured of your affliction."
While he was still speaking,
people from the synagogue official's house arrived and said,
"Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?"
Disregarding the message that was reported,
Jesus said to the synagogue official,
"Do not be afraid; just have faith."
He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside
except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.

When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official,
he caught sight of a commotion,
people weeping and wailing loudly.
So he went in and said to them,
"Why this commotion and weeping?
The child is not dead but asleep."
And they ridiculed him.
Then he put them all out.
He took along the child's father and mother
and those who were with him
and entered the room where the child was.
He took the child by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum,"
which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise!"
The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around.
At that they were utterly astounded.
He gave strict orders that no one should know this
and said that she should be given something to eat.

If in your parish you sing during second collections, prepare a song because today is Opus Sancti Petri or the Pontifical Work of St. Peter the Apostle.. Collections should be remitted in support of the Pointifical Society of Saint Peter the Apostle (Formation of seminarians, novices, clergy and Religious all over the world.) Songs like Patnubay, Sa 'Yo Lamang, Tungo Sa’Yo (Hangad) or any songs about priesthood, offertory songs involve offering one's self rather than bread and wine, etc. would be good.
