"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that those who believe in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting." - John 3:14
It was a cool, sunny day for our Corpus Christi celebration at St. Brendan's - perfect weather for a procession. This Solemnity is always so very special to us ~ as to all the Holy Angels, Saints and members of our Catholic family. St. John Vianney used to weep as he adored the Holy Eucharist when he processed with the Monstrance on this feast day. We thank God for His Real Presence among us~~His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament. What a great gift is Faith! How blessed it is to believe! How Good is our God!
"What magnificence in the processions as they pass by! What reverence in the faithful as they kneel down! The Church shows to everyone her Bridegroom in the radiant monstrance. Ah! Who today will presume to say she is widowed? Her friends are in adoration and her enemies tremble. Jesus shows Himself to all men; He gives His blessing to the good; He looks on sinners with compassion; He calls them and draws them to Himself. The Council of Trent calls this feast the triumph of faith, and rightly so. It is also the triumph of the Church through her divine Bridegroom." - St. Peter Julian Eymard on the Feast of Corpus Christi
