God of wisdom: guide me as Ichoose questions and in theway I answer them.

ThoughT forCorpus ChrisTi

The Eucharist that we

celebrate is the very food

that nourishes us on our

Christian journey of life.

It’s not so much a reward,

as a medicine not just for

'good' people but for those

who know their faults and

want to be better, those

who want healing.
