Homily, Solemnity of Corpus Christi-June 21, 2003.
The account of the Last Supper is always very moving. And even more so when we listen to it during the solemn feast of Corpus Christi. Gathered in this Plaza de Mayo, in front of our cathedral, summoned from all the parishes, as a family, as a people of God, the words of Jesus, the actions of the Lord, deeply touch our hearts: "While they were eating, [Jesus] took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to [his disciples] and said, 'Take it; this is my body' " (Mt 26: 26).
