C&SI - Reflecting on Corpus Christi - 7 June 2026 (S06E29b) (podcast excerpt)
1w ago00:24:17Tap to summarizeAs we move into Ordinary Time, this Sunday in Ireland we have the beautiful feast of Corpus Christi. So on this week's programme excerpt, we bring out a reflection from our old colleague Lorraine Buckley who shares with us some thoughts on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi originally in 2019. Lorraine's reflection on Corpus Christi begins by taking us through a history of the feast which owes its existence to Blessed Juliana of Liege, who began devotion to the Blessed Sacrament in around 1230. Largely through her insistence, in 1264 Pope Urban IV commanded its observance by the universal church. While the Church celebrates the Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday because it falls within the solemn and reflective time of the Easter Triduum, Juliana wanted to encourage a joyful celebration of this great gift of our Divine Master to the Church and to the world. The Feast sums up three important confessions about our Faith. First is that God became physically present in the person of Christ, True God and True Man. Secondly, God continues to be present in His people as they form the Mystical Body of Christ in his church. And thirdly, the presence of God under the form of bread and wine is made available to us on the altar at Mass and preserved there for our nourishment and worship. Lorraine also reflects on why the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is so important to us through the Eucharistic hymns of the Tantum Ergo, Ave Verum Corpus, and Godhead Here in Hiding (Adoro Te Devote).Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

3w ago00:59:59Tap to summarizePentecost is one of the great feasts of the liturgical year and brings to a close the season Easter where we celebrate the manifestation of the Holy Spirit into the church and the need for the church to go out into the world. In part one of this weeks podcast we go through the up coming liturgical odds and ends as well as flagging some up coming events on the calendar for local listeners in West Limerick. In part two, we share a reflection from Word On Fire Ministries where Bishop Robert Barron focus on the fifth chapter of St. Paul’s Letter to the Galatians, where you find what Paul calls “the fruits of the Spirit,” which he contrasts with “the works of the flesh.” Maybe you’re struggling and wondering, “What should I do? What path do I take?” Whatever is giving rise to the fruits of the Spirit in you is the path you want—and whatever is giving rise to the works of the flesh, stay away from. In part three as always we pause and reflect on the Sunday gospel which is from taken from the gospel of John (John 20:19-23) and is John's account of the appearance of Jesus to the disciples in the Upper Room after the Resurrection, the Giving of the Spirit and John's account of the Great Commission which we also heard about in last Sunday's gospel from Matthew.
