The Best Gift

Religious leaders over the centuries have left behind legacies to nourish their followers to help them live good and productive lives and eventually reap the reward of their efforts: Buddha left a philosophy of kindness and compassion;  Moses left the ten commandments; Mohammed, his revelations; but Jesus has left us HIMSELF! This is the best gift, the best legacy, the best nourishment for our journey through this life to our eternal home.  We take time this day to focus on the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), to single out the uniqueness of this gift, to offer prayers and gestures (processions) of gratitude and praise, and to stir up a great reverence and love for this "best gift". May our observance of this Solemnity remain with us this day and all the days ahead.
