Today the Church celebrates “Corpus Christi Sunday” or the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. As Catholics we believe that the Eucharist is not simply a symbol of Jesus’s body or that it is merely a reminder of what Jesus did for us. Rather, the Eucharist, the bread and wine that has been transformed is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Our Lord. Jesus is really and truly present in the Eucharist. Join Philip in reflecting upon this great gift.

On this episode of the Beloved Son Ministry Show, Philip is joined by his two older sisters and they discuss faith, life, and their late father.

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity, the great mystery of the Trinity, the mystery of Love, the mystery of God’s love for each one of us. As Catholics we believe in the Trinity, that is, there are Three Divine Persons in One God. We do not believe in three gods, but only One God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a mystery, but not one that warrants our solving or deciphering. Rather, the mystery of the Trinity is one to be pondered and one that ought to fill us with awe. Something so incomprehensible and yet so personable. Something so divine and yet something in which we have been made partakers because God has taken on our human flesh. The Trinity is a community of love, the love with which we have been created, the love for which we have been created, and the love which makes us one, the Body of Christ, that which points us to heaven. Join Philip in reflecting upon this great mystery.

“Peace be with you,” “As the Father has sent me, so I send you,” “Receive the Holy Spirit” are three phrases that Jesus spoke to the disciples when they were hiding behind locked doors for fear of the Jews. Yet, Jesus appeared to them and spoke with them. Weeks later, the disciples along with Mary are once again in the upper room, but not in fear or hiding, but awaiting the Holy Spirit. Join Philip in reflecting on this great solemnity.
