Corpus Christi Procession on June 6
On this celebration of Corpus Christi, as the Body and Blood of the Lord gathered us, we processed and dialogued about our Catholic faith in the presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist. We did so from the point of view of the permanence of the substantial structure of the Holy Mass, since its institution by Jesus Christ until our time, and we confirmed it in the Holy Bible and in one of the oldest Eucharistic documents which belongs to Saint Justin Martyr and was written around the year 155 AD.
