A recent church bulletin from Miami's Good Shepherd Catholic Church addressed the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, which it says is a time to focus attention toward parishioners' brothers and sisters.

"Today is the Solemnity of Corpus Christi," the bulletin states. "It is the feast of the Eucharist, wonderful gift of Christ, who at the Last Supper wanted to leave us the memorial of his Pasch, the Sacrament of his Body and of his Blood, a pledge of his immense love for us."

While a week before, members' gaze was focused on the Most Holy Trinity, it is now fixed on the consecrated Host, which the bulletin notes are the same God and the same love.

"This is the beauty of the Christian truth: The Creator and Lord of all things makes himself a 'grain of wheat' to be sown in our land, in the furrows of our history," the bulletin states. "He made himself bread to be broken, shared, eaten. He made himself our food to give us life, his same divine life. He was born in Bethlehem, which in Hebrew means 'House of Bread,' and when he began to preach to the crowds he revealed that the Father had sent him into the world as 'living bread come down from heaven,' as the 'bread of life.'"

The author noted that the indifference between those who are nourished on the Bread of Christ and those who are not have great difficulty resolving problems in the international community.

"The Eucharist is a school of charity and solidarity," the bulletin notes. "The one who is nourished on the Bread of Christ cannot remain indifferent before the one who, even in our day, is deprived of daily bread. So many parents are barely able to obtain it for themselves and for their own children."

The bulletin notes that Corpus Christi is a time to focus on those less fortunate.
