The Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ A

ENERGY BOOSTER

Most people are doing the best that they can, working late at night, doing something extra in order to raise foods that will sustain their life. Food are energy boosters, they usually be eaten in order to have energy for the day. If one person does not take food for the whole day, his/her energy will be depleted and as a result he will slowly deteriorate and die.

We have to take in food to obtain energy, and eat enough to keep going for long. Not enough food for the body will make the body weak. In order to remain healthy we need to take enough amount of food daily. Foods are called energy boosters because it provides energy for the body.

If we eat food to sustain our physical well-being, we need also food from heaven to maintain our spiritual well-being.

My dear friends, today we celebrate the solemnity of the most Holy Body and blood of Christ. In today’s gospel, Jesus presents himself as food that will sustain life. However, let us not understand it literally, since we are not cannibals. We don’t eat human flesh and blood. Instead, let us explain it figuratively: Jesus is trying to figure out the importance of following HIM. Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood will live forever. In other words, whoever follows my way will have the promise of everlasting life.

The body and blood of Christ that we ate during the Eucharistic celebration is an energy booster for our souls. Therefore, let us not forget to go to the mass always especially Sundays and holidays. This celebration is an energy booster that will strengthen our souls. It will always give us the right energy that will keep us moving towards our goal, heaven.

Do you know that you can be an energy booster also to other people? If you see and know somebody who suffered lots of difficulties, especially problems and sometimes they tend to give up already, your helping hand is an energy booster to that person. Our help is an energy booster that will keep him/her going.

If you are full of energy because you feel that God is really present in you; then, share your energy to those who are weak. Share your energy to those suffering people around you. Be an energy booster. Only in God you will find happiness, and happy people are full of energy. Release it! Share your energy! You’ve got the power!  Be a Corpus Christi to them. Be an energy booster.
