The homily begins briefly in Spanish before speaking in English at length about the history of the foundation of the Corpus Christi feast and what it means for us today. Then it shifts in Spanish to the deacon St. Lawrence, patron of the parish, and what we can learn from him to integrate our Eucharistic faith in terms of being willing to die for the Mass, on a Eucharistic loving of the true treasure of the Church — Jesus and others for whom Jesus died — and finally about the joy that comes from the Eucharist that can influence even a brutal martyrdom, as we see in the account of St. Lawrence’s passion.
