The Body of Christ

Today the marching season begins. It is Corpus Christi, so let’s see that Body.

I am off to All Saints St Margaret Street for 6.30pm High Mass and outdoor Procession of the Blessed Sacrament. St Mary the Virgin Bourne Street has its procession on Sunday.

St Patrick’s Soho has an International Mass with all the different chaplaincies of the Parish at 6pm followed by the Procession with the Blessed Sacrament through the streets with Benediction at St Giles’ at 7pm.

Joanna Bogle tells us about this most awesome experience.

Pange, lingua, gloriosi
Corporis mysterium

Sing, my tongue, the Savior’s glory,
of His flesh the mystery sing;
of the Blood, all price exceeding,
shed by our immortal King,
destined, for the world’s redemption,
from a noble womb to spring.
