On Thursday, June 30th, we celebrated the Feast of Corpus Christi (Body of Christ) in Extraordinary Form. After a simple Mass in the Ave Maria Hall, we held a Eucharistic Procession from the church to the Catholic Cemetery and back. Even though it was a low key celebration this year due to our being temporarily exiled from our church, we had a beautiful and joyful celebration honoring Our Lord truly and substantially present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. As I carried Jesus in the monstrance, I couldn’t help but think of the words of St. John Paul II in Ecclesia Eucharistia: “The devout participation of the faithful in the Eucharistic Procession on the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ [Corpus Christi] is a grace from the Lord which yearly brings joy to those who take part in it” (EE, 10). Click here to read more.
