Most Holy Trinity Welcomes You

June 26, 2022: 

My brothers and sisters/Mis hermanos,  

Well, I have arrived and not a moment to waste with my Spanish Immersion, and what better way to celebrate my 1-year anniversary as a Priest - today - than experiencing a different culture and Eucharistic Spirituality.  In celebrating the 13th Sunday Ordinary time, the people of the community held a Corpus Christi Procession … a 4 hour - YES, a 4-HOUR Eucharistic Procession around this particular section of Antigua. Fireworks are going off, musicians playing their instruments, people chanting and singing, and thousands of people coming to walk this procession with us. The people beforehand laid down pine, flowers, confetti, etc. … in order to create a pathway for the Lord. There were about 20 stations or so inside of people’s houses and on street corners, so beautifully decorated. The people decorated the entire village with yellow and white balloons and streamers, banners and flags, flowers, candles, etc. … bells ringing, fireworks being set off, Incense - Yes there was ALOT used … And all for what? THE EUCHARIST. Everyone - young and old, men and women, thousands of people did this for the Eucharist - Jesus Christ. This expression of Eucharistic devotion was unlike anything I have ever seen before. The people were happy, they were proud to have done all the work they did for what - the Eucharist! They see the Eucharist, not as something they receive once a week, or as just an ordinary piece of bread, but rather as the source and summit, the center of their lives, their village, and the center and the heart of Guatemala.  You can read more at: https://1infaith.blogspot.com
