Corpus Christi: A Moment of Eucharistic Witness for the World...

“I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert: and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven: that if any man eat of it, he may not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.” - St. John 6:48-52

"My Son is very lonely in his House. Won't you come with compassion and ease His loneliness? You do not abandon those you love. Have you no love for your Creator? Have you no love for He Who gave His life upon earth for you? Have you no love for He Who still sheds His Blood for you?" - Our Lady of the Roses, March 18, 1973

OnePeterFive.com reported on June 4, 2015:

The Feast of Corpus Christi — of the Eucharistic Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ — finds its origins in the 13th century. It came about almost entirely through the persistence of St. Juliana, a nun from the town of Liège in Belgium. Orphaned at the age of five, she was placed with the convent of Mont-Cornillon, where she quickly progressed through her religious studies, and her devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. At the age of 16 she took the veil, and her work was principally devoted to the sick in the hospital which was run by the convent.

History of the Feast

St. Juliana was said to have received a vision of the Church as symbolized by a full moon, blemished by a single dark spot. This spot, she was given to understand, represented the absence of a feast day in honor of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Though she advocated from her youth for the feast, she was plagued by a number of difficulties in her religious life, not least of which came at the hands of a vicious superior who drove her from the convent — of which she had, at that time, been elected superior — out of contempt for her virtue and her reproaches of his own scandalous behavior. Though she was restored to the convent for a time by her bishop, her superior again took hold of the power to cast her out, and she eventually died in exile from the place of her vocation.

But all was not lost.

St. Juliana’s devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and desire for the feast made an impact on her bishop, Robert de Thorete. At that time in the Church’s history, local bishops had the power to designate feasts for their own diocese, so in 1246, Bishop de Thorete called a synod and ordered the observation of the feast for the first time in the following year. Though the bishop would die before the first Feast of Corpus Christi, St. Eve of Liège. a recluse with whom St. Juliana had spent time during her first exile from Mont-Cornillon, persuaded his successor to petition Pope Urban IV to make it a universal feast of the Church.

The pope agreed, and with the publication of the Papal Bull Transiturus on September 8th, 1264, the feast was established in the Universal Church to be celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. Pope Urban requested an office for the Mass from St. Thomas Aquinas, which would become one of the most beautiful and famous in Church history, and gave us the Pange Lingua. After the death of Pope Urban IV slowed the spread of this devotion, Pope Clement V took up the banner of Corpus Christi, continuing the work to establish it as a feast for the whole Church at the General Council of Vienne in 1311.

Though it was never a part of the original decrees pertaining to the feast, the Eucharistic procession which accompanied its celebration began almost from the beginning, and indulgences were attached to this practice by two later popes (Martin V and Eugene IV).

Corpus Christi Today

Until the latter half of the 20th century, Corpus Christi Eucharistic processions were commonplace throughout the Catholic world. The following video shows just such a procession in Cologne, Germany, in 1947 — just two years after the end of the Second World War. As the people processed through the streets with Christ in the Eucharist, the ruble and ruin of the city are plain to see around them.

Through a devastated landscape, the Faith marches on.

             

In today’s world, the material state of our environment is perfectly in tact. But the faith — which Dietrich von Hildebrand had come in his latter years to refer to as “the Devastated Vineyard” — is in tatters. Though still celebrated throughout the Universal Church, Corpus Christi has suffered diminished significance, no doubt in tandem with the diminution of belief in the Real Presence. As a moveable feast, it is most often observed not on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday, but the Sunday thereafter.

Whatever day the feast is observed upon, there is no time like the present to re-establish the priority of its place in the Church and the mystery it celebrates, along with the practice of processing through the streets with our Eucharistic Lord, reminding the world of the mysteries we celebrate and the Second Person of the Holy Trinity whom we worship within them.

Some parishes still continue the Eucharistic procession. The Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem, an institute of consecrated life dedicated to the Church’s venerable traditions in liturgy, sacraments, and devotions, do so each and every year. At their priory in Charles Town, West Virginia, this is the scene each year on the magnificent Eucharistic feast:

And again, last year:

This year, in Leesburg, Virginia, the parish of St. John the Baptist will hold a Eucharistic procession through the town, crossing directly in front of the municipal courthouse. The Church of the Holy Innocents in Manhattan will bring their Eucharistic procession through the heart of Times Square. And in Rome, Pope Francis will lead a Eucharistic procession a full mile through the city, beginning at St. John Lateran and ending at St. Mary Major.

As Catholics, we believe in things that a world without faith cannot hope to understand. But if we live this faith, if we act in a way that shows our beliefs, it is a witness much stronger than words.

Whether the people of this world respect our beliefs or revile them, they are not immune to their supernatural reality. The world needs the Catholic faith and her sacraments for salvation. The Eucharist that might be an object of scorn or ridicule to the passerby seeing a procession this Sunday is the very same of which Our Lord Himself said,

Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. – John 6:54

Believing in the Body and Blood of Christ is not optional; it is essential. Let us give witness to the world from each and every parish, bringing Christ into the streets of our towns and cities, and showing them that he is truly, “Jesus my Lord, my God, my all…”

If your parish doesn’t do a procession this year, ask if you can help them to establish one next year. If you’re going to have a procession this year, share it in the comments so that others in your area can join you for it. If you get some good pictures of your Corpus Christi celebration this year, send them to us at 1P5@Lensmob.com. We’ll make a gallery out of them and share them with our readers.

LLet’s show the world the beauty of our Catholic faith.

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/Bayside/  These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

BREAD
"Your children are wandering. . . . their souls will be destroyed when they are not given the Bread of living life. This Bread will only be obtained in the sanctified House of My Son. Satan seeks to remove the Tabernacle from among you." - Our Lady, August 5, 1973

KNEEL
"My children, kneel before your God in the Eucharist. Do not stand like you stand in meeting halls, but kneel and give Him a just love and observance of honor." - Our Lady, July 14, 1979

HONOR
"All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My Son's House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned into a meeting hall." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979

RECEIVE DAILY
"Receive the Eucharist daily. I come to you; I am with you." - Jesus, August 4, 1979

REVERENCE
"My children, you must join your hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of My Son. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and respect. Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned to My Son's Houses, churches, throughout the world, reverence, holiness, and respect from the beginning to the end of the sacred service!" - Our Lady, September 6, 1975

QUIETUDE
"You must enter the houses of your God properly clothed and with goodness of heart, not disporting yourselves as pagans.
     "A quietude must be returned to the House of God. You come to communicate, My children, in spirit and body with My Son Who is with you in your Eucharist in Spirit and Body, a true physical Presence. Many now are despoiling His Body! How many have set themselves to solace Him in the evil that is about the world now?" - Our Lady, March 22, 1975

HANDS FOLDED
"My child, I repeat Myself to you: at the start of the Consecration in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you will join your hands together and remain this way until all have received the Body and Blood of My beloved Son, respectfully and rightfully." - Our Lady, May 18, 1977

CONFESS
"My Son is much grieved, My child, in the manner in which many come to Him in His House. They come with disrespect. They do not have love for Him in their hearts.
     "My child, please, they lead themselves onto the road to satan. They must not accept My Son with sin in their hearts. Many do not go to Our representatives. They accept My Son with sin on their souls! Shout it, My child, from the roofs: you must honor the Eucharist!" - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

PURIFIED
"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also, My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession. "What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor, but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of mortal nature!" - Our Lady, September 7, 1976

BREAD OF LIFE
"I left with you the Bread of life; I gave Myself to you. I am always among you in the tabernacles of your world. No man shall enter the Kingdom unless he eats of the Bread of life." - Jesus, May 26, 1976

HEAD COVERING
"Women must keep their heads covered, My child. It is not because of fashion or modes; it is because the Eternal Father and the angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice!" - Our Lady, September 6, 1975

VERY LONELY
"My Son is very lonely in His House. Won't you come with compassion and ease His loneliness? You do not abandon those you love. Have you no love for your Creator? Have you no love for He Who gave His life upon earth for you? Have you no love for He Who still sheds His Blood for you?" - Our Lady, March 18, 1973

DO NOT CHEW
"You will not chew My Son; you will not defame Him." - Our Lady, June 8, 1974

WEEP
"The greatest strength for you, My children, is to remain with My Son by the tabernacles of your world. Go to them, My children, while you still can, for the day will come when they will be closed to you. Weep with My Son; pray with Him, for you hold the balance for the destruction or the salvation of mankind." - Our Lady, April 17, 1976

ELIXIR OF LOVE
"Less and less honor is being given to My Son in the Eucharist. Will you not love Him? Express and act upon your love by comforting My Son in the tabernacles of the world. Visit Him more often, for He grows lonely in His House. Graces in abundance shall be given to all who seek My Son in the Eucharist.
     "Hasten, repair to the tabernacles of the world, My children, while the doors of My Son's houses, His Church upon earth, are still open to you. Many countries shall be deprived of this source of great grace, and there shall be anguish of heart. Accept this elixir of love, My children-the Bread of life, the Eucharist." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979

TABERNACLES
"Satan cannot take the light from you if you remain with My Son in the Eucharist. Pray, My child, that the doors of the tabernacles are not shut to your country--so great are the conquests of satan." - Our Lady, December 24, 1974

Place a Crucifix on the outside of your front and back door...  The only real protection against terrorists...
Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors."

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." -  Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man.  I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992  
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976 
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899.  It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church.  Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: http://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htmhttp://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and http://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!  (Order Form)  Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it. 
    Read the Bible cover to cover.  If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days.  I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time.  A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times.  Wow!
