26/A Tract on John.
“Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead.” Wherefore did they eat and die Because they believed only that which they saw and that which they saw not, they understood not. Therefore were they your fathers, because ye are like unto them. Doth this death, my brethren, mean that death which is outward and bodily And do not we also die, who eat of that Bread Which cometh down from heaven That death died they, and so shall we also, as far, as I have said, as is meant that death which is outward and bodily.

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
26th Tract on John.
“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven,” v. 50. By “this bread” the Lord here signifieth both the manna, and That Which we receive at the Altar of God. Both these are, as it were, Sacramental signs, differing indeed somewhat in their outward and visible part, but pointing to the Same Thing signified. Hear what the Apostle saith: “Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and did all eat the same spiritual meat.” 1 Cor. x. 1-3. This meat was the same spiritually but not really they ate manna we eat Something else. Spiritually they ate What we eat but our fathers not their fathers; unto whom we are like not unto whom they are like. And it is added “And did all drink the same Spiritual drink.” They drank one thing, and we drank Another, the difference being in the outer show, the sameness in that the Same Thing is pointed to by both. And what was that Same Drink? “They drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” Him did bread and rock alike signify. The Rock was a figure, but by the Word and in the Flesh there is the very Christ Himself. And how came they to drink of that rock “Moses lift up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice, and the water came out abundantly.” Num. xx. 11. These two strokes of the rod upon the rock are a figure of the two beams whereof the Cross was made.

Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great
36th upon the Gospels
Dearly beloved brethren, between the dainties of the body and the dainties of the mind there is this difference, that the dainties of the body, when we lack them, raise up a great hunger after them, and when we devour them, straightway our fulness worketh in us niceness. But about the dainties of the mind we are nice while as yet we lack them, and when we fill ourselves with them, then are we an-hungered after them, and the more, being an-hungered, we feed thereon, the more are we an-hungered thereafter. In the bodily dainties, the hunger is keener than the fullness, but in the spiritual the fulness is keener than the hunger. In the bodily, hunger gendereth fullness, and fulness niceness in the spiritual, hunger indeed gendereth fullness, but fullness gendereth hunger.

27th Tract on John.
I have said, my brethren, that what the Lord hath set before us, in eating of His Flesh and drinking of His Blood, is that we should dwell in Him, and He in us. We dwell in Him when we are His members, and He dwelleth in us when we are His temple. But the bond whereby we are made His members is oneness and what is the cause of oneness but love And love of God, whence is it? Ask the Apostle. “The love of God,” saith he, “is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, Which is given unto us.” Rom. v. 5.

27th Tract on John.
We have heard from the Gospel the words of the Lord which follow [those that formed the subject of my earlier discourse. To your ears and understandings we owe a discourse on these also, and to-day it becometh very well, for it is upon that Body of the Lord, Which He professeth Himself that He “will give for the life of the world,” “that a man may eat thereof and not die.” He hath made manifest how He giveth, and What is His Gift, where He saith: “He that eateth My Flesh and drinketh My Blood, dwelleth in Me and I in him.” The sign to show whether a man hath or hath not eaten that Flesh and drunk that Blood, is whether or not he dwelleth in Christ and Christ in him, whether or not he is a guest of Christ and Christ of his, whether or not he so cleaveth unto Christ, that Christ be not parted from him.

Festum Sanctissimi Corporis Christi ~ Duplex I. classis

Thurs, 6/4/26:

Today is the feast of Corpus Christi under the 1954 (double of the I class with privileged octave of the 2nd order) and 1962 (I class) rubrics.

Mass: Proper Mass. Pro populo. White. Gloria. Gradual/Alleluia. Sequence Lauda Sion. Credo. Preface of the Nativity (1954)/Common Preface (1962). (Where authorized, the neo-Gallican Preface of the Blessed Sacrament found in some editions of the 1962 Missal may be used.) Ite. No commemorations or additional prayers. It is customary after the principal (sung) Mass (in Catholic nations, at least, where today is a day of obligation), for a Eucharistic procession to follow Mass. If this occurs, under the 1962 rubrics, the celebrant (or deacon at solemn Mass) sings Bendicamus Domino in place of Ite, missa est. The Last Gospel is omitted under 1962. (LB236)

At that time: Jesus said unto the multitudes of the Jews: My Flesh is meat indeed, and My Blood is drink indeed. And so on.

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop (of Hippo)
26th Tract on John
By use of meat and drink men would fain that “they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more,” Apoc. vii. 16, and yet there is but one Meat and one Drink, Which doth work in them that feed thereon that “this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality,” 1 Cor. xv. 53,namely communion with that general assembly and Church of God's holy children, who are “kept in perfect peace,” Isa. xxvi. 3, and are “all one,” John xvii. 11, fully and utterly. And therefore it is, as men of God before our time have taken it, that our Lord Jesus Christ hath set before us His Body and His Blood in the likeness of things which, from being many, are reduced into one. In one loaf are many grains of corn, and one cup of wine the juice of many grapes. And now He giveth us to know how that which He spake cometh to pass, and how indeed “this Man can give us His Flesh to eat,” and His Blood to drink.

Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 6:36-42
In that time Jesus said to his disciples: Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again. And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? do they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one shall be perfect, if he be as his master. And why seest thou the mote in thy brother's eye: but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? Or how canst thou say to thy brother: Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? Hypocrite, cast first the beam out of thy own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to take out the mote from thy brother's eye.
