Sunday June 14, 2009 was the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and
Blood of Christ, or (in Latin) Corpus Christi.
As Msgr. Deliman stated in his blog:
"Corpus Christi actually
asks that we pull out all stops, utilize all the bells
and whistles available to us as a Church to celebrate
the Blessed Sacrament, the Holy Eucharist.
The Liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of
the Church is directed; at the same time it is the
fountain from which all her power flows. (Const. on the
Sacred Liturgy, Vat. II, Chap. 1, number 10)
The power of the Eucharist is "Presence" - Divine
Presence.
So, we, as a parish, will celebrate with a Solemn Mass
at Noon time which will be followed by a procession
through part of our neighborhood, punctuated with three
stops for the triple Benediction. All concludes on the
front portico of the church. The purpose of the
procession is to give witness to our faith." |
Which,
as you'll see below, is just what took place ...
