Today the Church marks the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. (It was celebrated last Thursday in most areas of the world, but in the USA it was moved to this day.)

In essence, the Church is specifically honoring the Eucharist, the nature of which I have written about before, here and here.

Eucharist means “Thanksgiving”, and at Mass we are giving thanks for the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, thereby redeeming (paying the price) for our sins.

Plenty to be thankful for.

I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!

My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
