After a showery morning, the rain held off just long enough for the
traditional Corpus Christi procession to take place. In this
procession, we take our Catholic faith to the streets, honoring the real
presence of Christ in the sacrament of his Body and Blood.
The choirs help us pray our way through the neighborhood with song.
Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
"Jesus, here present, our living Savior..."
"...grant us your mercy, show us your favor!"
We are the Body of Christ, sent forth to bring his mercy to the world.
Some of the children who made their first Holy Communion just a month
ago scatter flower petals on the way.
"Those who drink my Blood and eat of my Body live in me and I live in
them, says the Lord."
The Elliott Bay Pipe Band, led by Cathedral Piper Tyrone Heade
Incense and lanterns are carried before the Blessed Sacrament.
Father Ryan carries the Blessed Sacrament exposed in a monstrance.
Following Christ--it's what we are called to do every day.
The procession ends with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament on Terry
Avenue.
"Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory!"
