Corpus Christi! This great feast honors the real presence of Jesus
in the Eucharist, the sacrament of his Body and Blood.
"Jesus here present, our living Savior, grant us your mercy, show us
your favor."
First Communicants prepared the way by scattering petals along the route
for the procession.
Jubilate! Young Women's Ensemble
Four young people who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this year
carried the canopy over the Blessed Sacrament. The canopy, new this
year, was created by artist Juanita Yoder.
In
the Corpus Christi procession, we take our faith to the streets. We
honor the Body of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, and we recognize
that we, too, are the Body of Christ!
"You fed your people with the food of angels; you gave them bread from
heaven, alleluia."
"I am the living bread come down from heaven; anyone who eats this bread
will live for ever, alleluia."
"May our worship of this sacrament of your body and blood help us to
experience the salvation you won for us and the peace of the kingdom
where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God for
ever and ever." Amen!
