First Reading       1 Kgs 19:16b, 19-21
The LORD said to Elijah:
“You shall anoint Elisha, son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah,
as prophet to succeed you.”
 
Elijah set out and came upon Elisha, son of Shaphat,
as he was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen;
he was following the twelfth.
Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak over him.
Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said,
“Please, let me kiss my father and mother goodbye,
and I will follow you.”
Elijah answered, “Go back!
Have I done anything to you?”
Elisha left him, and taking the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them;
he used the plowing equipment for fuel to boil their flesh,
and gave it to his people to eat.
Then Elisha left and followed Elijah as his attendant.
 
Responsorial Psalm  Ps 16:1-2, 5, 7-8, 9-10, 11
R (cf. 5a) You are my inheritance, O Lord.
Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge;
            I say to the LORD, “My Lord are you.
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
            you it is who hold fast my lot.”
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
I bless the LORD who counsels me;
            even in the night my heart exhorts me.
I set the LORD ever before me;
            with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,
            my body, too, abides in confidence
because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
            nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
You will show me the path to life,
            fullness of joys in your presence,
            the delights at your right hand forever.
R You are my inheritance, O Lord.
 
Second Reading   Gal 5:1, 13-18
Brothers and sisters:
For freedom Christ set us free;
so stand firm and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.
 
For you were called for freedom, brothers and sisters.
But do not use this freedom
as an opportunity for the flesh;
rather, serve one another through love.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement,
namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
But if you go on biting and devouring one another,
beware that you are not consumed by one another.
 
I say, then: live by the Spirit
and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.
For the flesh has desires against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh;
these are opposed to each other,
so that you may not do what you want.
But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
 
Alleluia     1 Sm 3:9; Jn 6:68c
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Speak, Lord, your servant is listening;
you have the words of everlasting life.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel Lk 9:51-62
When the days for Jesus’ being taken up were fulfilled,
he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem,
and he sent messengers ahead of him.
On the way they entered a Samaritan village
to prepare for his reception there,
but they would not welcome him
because the destination of his journey was Jerusalem.
When the disciples James and John saw this they asked,
“Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven
to consume them?”
Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they journeyed to another village.
 

As they were proceeding on their journey someone said to him,
“I will follow you wherever you go.”
Jesus answered him,
“Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head.”
 
And to another he said, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, let me go first and bury my father.”
But he answered him, “Let the dead bury their dead.
But you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
And another said, “I will follow you, Lord,
but first let me say farewell to my family at home.”
To him Jesus said, “No one who sets a hand to the plow
and looks to what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Corpus Christi Sunday - Year 2 Cycle C - June 19, 2022

 Thank you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ for your support by clicking the ads on the right side of our blog post. Please continue doing so every time you visit our blog as your support to us.

The readings for Corpus Christi Year C focus on Jesus Christ, our high priest, who sustains us with is very being. In the first reading we hear about the priest Melchizedek. The psalm also sings “You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.”. In the second reading, Paul reminds us of the words of institution of the Eucharist from the Last Supper. In the gospel, Jesus feeds the five thousand after breaking the bread and blessing it.

Corpus Christi (Latin for Body of Christ) is a Latin Rite solemnity, now designated the solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi). It is also celebrated in some Anglican, Lutheran and Old Catholic Churches. Like Trinity Sunday and the Solemnity of Christ the King, it does not commemorate a particular event in Jesus' life. Instead it celebrates the Body and Blood of Christ really present in the Eucharist. Its date is the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, but "where the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ is not a Holy Day of Obligation, it is assigned to the Sunday after the Most Holy Trinity as its proper day".

At the end of the Mass, it is customary in many places to have a procession of the Blessed Sacrament, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

Note:
If your parish is going to have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, whether before or after Mass, or sometimes after communion you may sing:
1. Panis Angelicus (Bread of Angels)
2. Tinapay ng Buhay (Atienza, Borres, & Francisco)

Entrance:
1.      Awit mga Binuhat
2.      Kon Magkatigum ta 
3.      Himaya Kanimo, Kristo Jesus
4.      Sa Hapag ng Panginoon (Morano & Francisco)
5.      Sa Piging na Handog (Carlos, Villaroman)
6.      Sa Piging ng Panginoon (Tabuena, Hontivers)
7.      Water of Life (Haas)
 
First Reading              Gn 14:18-20
In those days, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine,
and being a priest of God Most High,
he blessed Abram with these words:
            "Blessed be Abram by God Most High,
                        the creator of heaven and earth;
            and blessed be God Most High,
                        who delivered your foes into your hand."
Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
 
Responsorial Psalm               Ps 110:1, 2, 3, 4
R (4b) You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The LORD said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand
            till I make your enemies your footstool."
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The scepter of your power the LORD will stretch forth from Zion:
            "Rule in the midst of your enemies."
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
"Yours is princely power in the day of your birth, in holy splendor;
            before the daystar, like the dew, I have begotten you."
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
The LORD has sworn, and he will not repent:
            "You are a priest forever, according to the order of  Melchizedek."
R You are a priest forever, in the line of Melchizedek.
 
 
Second Reading                  1 Cor 11:23-26
Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you,
that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over,
took bread, and, after he had given thanks,
broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup,
you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
 
Sequence
Lauda Sion
Laud, O Zion, your salvation,
Laud with hymns of exultation,
            Christ, your king and shepherd true:
Bring him all the praise you know,
He is more than you bestow.
            Never can you reach his due.
Special theme for glad thanksgiving
Is the quick’ning and the living
            Bread today before you set:
From his hands of old partaken,
As we know, by faith unshaken,
            Where the Twelve at supper met.
Full and clear ring out your chanting,
Joy nor sweetest grace be wanting,
            From your heart let praises burst:
For today the feast is holden,
When the institution olden
            Of that supper was rehearsed.
Here the new law’s new oblation,
By the new king’s revelation,
            Ends the form of ancient rite:
Now the new the old effaces,
Truth away the shadow chases,
            Light dispels the gloom of night.
What he did at supper seated,
Christ ordained to be repeated,
            His memorial ne’er to cease:
And his rule for guidance taking,
Bread and wine we hallow, making
            Thus our sacrifice of peace.
This the truth each Christian learns,
Bread into his flesh he turns,
            To his precious blood the wine:
Sight has fail’d, nor thought conceives,
But a dauntless faith believes,
            Resting on a pow’r divine.
Here beneath these signs are hidden
Priceless things to sense forbidden;
            Signs, not things are all we see:
Blood is poured and flesh is broken,
Yet in either wondrous token
            Christ entire we know to be.
Whoso of this food partakes,
Does not rend the Lord nor breaks;
            Christ is whole to all that taste:
Thousands are, as one, receivers,
One, as thousands of believers,
            Eats of him who cannot waste.
Bad and good the feast are sharing,
Of what divers dooms preparing,
            Endless death, or endless life.
Life to these, to those damnation,
See how like participation
            Is with unlike issues rife.
When the sacrament is broken,
Doubt not, but believe ‘tis spoken,
            That each sever’d outward token
            doth the very whole contain.
Nought the precious gift divides,
Breaking but the sign betides
            Jesus still the same abides,
            still unbroken does remain.
The shorter form of the sequence begins here.
Lo! the angel’s food is given
To the pilgrim who has striven;
            see the children’s bread from heaven,
            which on dogs may not be spent.
Truth the ancient types fulfilling,
Isaac bound, a victim willing,
            Paschal lamb, its lifeblood spilling,
            manna to the fathers sent.
Very bread, good shepherd, tend us,
Jesu, of your love befriend us,
            You refresh us, you defend us,
            Your eternal goodness send us
In the land of life to see.
You who all things can and know,
Who on earth such food bestow,
            Grant us with your saints, though lowest,
            Where the heav’nly feast you show,
Fellow heirs and guests to be. Amen. Alleluia.
 
Alleluia             Jn 6:51
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord;
whoever eats this bread will live forever.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel                            Lk 9:11b-17
Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God,
and he healed those who needed to be cured.
As the day was drawing to a close,
the Twelve approached him and said,
"Dismiss the crowd
so that they can go to the surrounding villages and farms
and find lodging and provisions;

for we are in a deserted place here."
He said to them, "Give them some food yourselves."
They replied, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have,
unless we ourselves go and buy food for all these people."
Now the men there numbered about five thousand.
Then he said to his disciples,
"Have them sit down in groups of about fifty."
They did so and made them all sit down.
Then taking the five loaves and the two fish,
and looking up to heaven,
he said the blessing over them, broke them,
and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
They all ate and were satisfied.
And when the leftover fragments were picked up,
they filled twelve wicker baskets.
