Friends, welcome to Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.

Word on Fire is an apostolate dedicated to the mission of evangelization,

using media both old and new to share the faith on every continent

and to facilitate an encounter with Christ and his church.

The efforts of Word on Fire engage the culture

and bring the transformative power

of God's word

where it is most needed.

Today, we invite you to join

Bishop Robert Barron

as he preaches the gospel

and shares the warmth

and light of Christ

with each one of us.

Peace be with you. Friends, we come now to this wonderful Feast of Corpus Christi.

You know, every year we have the Feast of Trinity Sunday followed by Corpus Christi.

So two of the highest theological mysteries, the Trinity and the Eucharist, back to back.

And I think the church is right in sort of compelling us every year to come back to these great truths,

because in some ways the heart of the spiritual life is here.

So last week we looked at the mystery of the Trinity, now at the body and blood of Jesus.

And the readings, of course, are marvelous.

I want to start, though, with reading number two.
