Catholics across the United States took to the streets over the weekend to celebrate the solemnity of Corpus Christi and share their faith by processing with Jesus in the Eucharist.
The Corpus Christi processions took place at a time when the Catholic Church in the U.S. is embarking on a National Eucharistic Revival in an effort to foster a greater understanding and appreciation that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. As part of the initiative, four different pilgrimages were launched last month to bring the Eucharist across the U.S. and converge at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis from July 17–21.
Latin for “Body of Christ,” the Corpus Christi feast was popularized in France in the mid-13th century until Pope Urban IV extended it to the whole Church in 1264. This feast highlights two manifestations of the body of Christ, the Eucharist and the Church.

Hanceville, Alabama
A Eucharistic procession took place at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in northern Alabama. The shrine is celebrating its 25th anniversary, while the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration, an order of cloistered Franciscan nuns who live in the adjoining Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, are celebrating a second year of a worldwide prayer apostolate known as Adoration Sodality. Eucharistic pilgrims will arrive at the shrine later this summer.
May the Heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at ever moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, unto the end of time. Amen!
