Feast of Corpus Christi

Here's a very cool shot from Corpus Christi's Parish procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi on June 10. It almost made the Herald but the composition seems just a tad off. Jim Myers thought it would work if the monstrance was lifted higher (we weren't about to interrupt the procession to make artistic suggestions). I think he's right. Nevertheless, we thought it deserving of some sort of publication.

I love the Corpus Christi procession. With hostilities against Catholicism high these days and the temptation to privatize our faith and confine it to indoors, it's a powerful witness to line up behind Christ in the Blessed Sacrament and take our faith to the streets.
