Corpus Christi.

"The greatest mystery of the Christian faith is that God came to us in the body, suffered with us in the body, rose in the body, and gave us his body as food. No religion takes the body as seriously as the Christian religion. The body is not seen as the enemy or as prison of the spirit, but celebrated as the Spirit's temple. Through Jesus' birth, life, death, and Resurrection, the human body has become part of the life of God. By eating the body of Christ, our own fragile bodies are becoming intimately connected with the risen Christ and thus prepared to be lifted up with him into the divine life. Jesus says, 'I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world'. (Jn 6:51) It is in union with the body of Christ that I come to know the full significance of my own body. My own body is much more than a mortal instrument of pleasure and pain. It is a home where God wants to manifest the fullness of the divine glory. " – Henri Nouwen, The Road to Daybreak. Today, 7 June is the feast of Corpus Christi in the universal Church, and this stained glass detail is from the Dominican church in central Madrid, Spain.
