DAY 6: June 15 (Wednesday after the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity)
The Sacrifice of the Cross
As the solemnity of Corpus Christi approaches, we recall Christ’s gift of himself upon the cross, the wellspring of the Church’s Sacraments.
A brief period of silence is observed.
V. Into your hands I commend my spirit.
R. You will redeem me, O LORD, O faithful God.
Concluding Prayer
O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament have left us a memorial of your Passion, grant us, we pray, so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may always experience in ourselves the fruits of your redemption. Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.
Jesus, eternal high priest, grant us the grace to offer our lives as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to you.
