Join us for our Eucharstic Procession next week on the Feast of Corpus Christi! In Romans 8 we are told that all of creation yearns to see the plan of God come to its fulfillment. In showing the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus to the world, we literally and concretely bring consolation and hope not only to believers but to the trees and flowers and the stars! We process the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Savior through His creation. After the procession, we will have a brief time of silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament together and then we will have Benediction wherein we receive the blessing of Jesus Himself. Even if you don’t normally come to 10:30 Mass, come back at around 11:40 for the procession and a time of worship on June 22nd. It is what we are made for and what God will have us doing in eternity.
