Solemnity of Corpus Christi

We will celebrate this great solemnity this coming Sunday and I will reserve my reflection on it until then. There is however one little strand that we get from our first reading that I want to leave with you. From the book of Deuteronomy 8:2-3,14-16 we read “Remember how the Lord your God led you …”

Please take out your concordance and find out how many times the word “Remember” shows up in the Bible. Our story of salvation is wrapped up in remembering how God has come to us and telling and retelling that story. Yes there are big stories we find in scripture and tradition but don’t discount your own “rememberings”

Can you look back now and tell your story of how this God has always shown up?
