After the 10:00am Mass, the entire assembly takes to the streets in a festive
procession honoring the presence of Christ in our midst in the Blessed
Sacrament.
"At that first Eucharist before you died,
O Lord, you prayed that all be one in you;
At this our Eucharist again preside,
And in our hearts your law of love renew!"
"For all your Church, O Lord, we intercede;
O make our lack of charity to cease.
Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead,
By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace!"
"So Lord, at length, when sacraments shall cease,
May we be one with all your Church above,
One with your saints in one unending peace,
One with your saints in one unbounded love!"
"Thus may we all one bread, one body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity."
