HAPPY CORPUS CHRISTI FEAST! Sunday we celebrate the feast of the "body of Christ"--one of my favorites. In our community when we were invested with the habit and received a new name, we also received a "predicate"...Sister NN "of ...." The "of" was the predicate. I chose "of the Sacred Host". Since childhood I have a deep devotion to the Blessed Sacrament...so Corpus Christi, Sunday is my feast day too. All parishes in our archdiocese of Milwaukee, I believe, have one day of the week where they have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. People come in and spend time in adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and petition before the Blessed Sacrament. Our parish, St. Eugene's, has adoration on Tuesdays. Since I am between ministries, I take time in the morning to visit and chat with the Lord, exposed in the monstrance on the altar. I am very awed by the number of people who come spend time with the Lord. I love the peace and serenity of my time spent there. Renews my faith and hope. Strengthens me to live more generously and lovingly....a challenge at times. I hope you have this marvelous opportunity: exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. I promise you serenity and peace.
