June 7, 2026 - Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ

On the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Fr. Rob reflects on our identity as a "Eucharistic people." Drawing on St. Augustine’s definition of a sacrament—a visible sign of invisible grace—he explores how God uses our physical senses to help us experience the divine. However, Fr. Rob challenges the congregation to look deeper by using the "vision of the heart." Through a simple but powerful exercise, he demonstrates that the Real Presence of Christ isn't confined to the altar; it is found in the person sitting to our left, the person to our right, and even in our own reflection in the mirror. The transformative power of the Eucharist is meant to make Christ’s living presence a part of who we are. Fr. Rob poses a challenging question: If we are willing to bow or genuflect before the Tabernacle, shouldn't we show that same reverence and respect to one another? From the pews to the church parking lot, this homily calls us to recognize the sacredness in every human being and to treat one another with the healing, merciful love of Christ.
