The Feast of Corpus Christi challenges all of us to live a Eucharistic life, a life grounded in communion, compassion and community. The statement from President Christine Kangaloo in her message to the nation.
President Kangaloo said Corpus Christi invites us to reflect upon the foundational truth – that God is not distant or removed from the human condition but is real and physically present in the most intimate and tangible way.
She said the message of God’s physical presence among us is the greatest assurance that human beings have of a God who will never desert us and who will always be with us no matter how difficult the circumstances.
The president encouraged all to consciously and deliberately apply the characteristics of Christ to every area of our lives. She said in so doing, we will help forge a society that upholds and embodies those self-same values, values which are foundational to a strong and resilient nation.
