Corpus Christi and the Incarnate Word

SUMMARY

This reflection focuses on the Eucharist as the Word of God made flesh and the source of divine life for the Church. Tim begins with Deuteronomy 8:3 and the manna in the wilderness, showing how God uses even affliction to teach that man lives by every word that comes from His mouth. He then connects that Old Testament pattern to the Incarnation and to Corpus Christi, where the Eucharist continues the mystery of Christ dwelling among us. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 10 and John 6, he explains why the Church has always spoken so plainly about the Real Presence. Along the way, he highlights the early Fathers and the urgency of becoming what we receive: living signs of Christ for the world.
