Message of St. John the Apostle, Feast of Corpus Christi
“Dearest Brothers and Sisters,
I bless you on this great day for the Church of God, spread in the Universe. On Earth, you particularly remember the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper. The Body and Blood of Christ are venerated in the form of the Host.
However, besides the institution of the Eucharist, which is in itself a huge event, something equally great occurred at the Last Supper: the beginning of Jesus’ Passion. At that moment, Jesus sacrificed Himself, even before He did it on Calvary. He transformed the bread and the wine, which were on the table, into His Body and Blood. He offered them to us Apostles before we were dispersed and overwhelmed by our human fears.

Message of St. Barnabas the Apostle
“I would like to add my experience to what has been said. I did not participate in the Last Supper, nor did St. Paul, with whom I collaborated for a long time. Nevertheless, at the Eucharistic celebrations of our first Christian communities, our faith and that of the people made the Sacrifice of Christ real and present. We had the same feelings as the Apostles had at the Last Supper: the anguish caused by the human betrayal; Jesus’ suffering on the Cross; the power of the Resurrection. This must also take place within you. You, too, can feel, in every celebration, the power of the first celebration of Christ at the Last Supper.
The Church of Jesus Christ of the Universe should perpetuate this power and not merely repeat a rite. It should make Christ’s living presence felt, for it is He who acts in each Holy Mass, renewing the immense miracle of the transformation of the bread and wine into His Body and Blood.
This is the task of the Church, beyond all charity work. The foundation of all actions of the Church consists in making the great miracle of the Transubstantiation authentic and real in every Holy Mass. This powerful miracle nourishes not only the Earth but also the whole Universe, for not a single drop of Christ’s Blood, shed on your altars, is lost.
