The Benedict Year › Reading Backwards from the Pascha › The Spiral
Week 36 · 31 May – 4 June 2027 · June
Corpus Christi
The Spiral: The same texts, and the child is not the same reader.
Session A · the reading
About 55 minutes. Open and read aloud before any framing: no introduction, no “today we’re looking at”. Scripture first, then the Father.
- John 6:35–69; 1 Corinthians 11:23–26
Session B · the argument
About 35 minutes, on another day. Never both in one sitting.
Look back. The manna, the lamb in Egypt, and the Lamb of God: which cards does John 6 need?
Books this week
Optional: one piece of media
Babette’s Feast (1987). Watched together, with nothing said about why it was chosen; how the list was made.
Corpus Christi is kept in Canada on Sunday 30 May 2027.
