Ferdinand, thank you so much for letting us know...I watched it and have
been deeply enriched by it.
Corpus Christi could be a real downer, in a way, in a pandemic: an intense
celebration of the Sacrament we cannot fully receive.
But I feel I've fully received it, spiritually, through this celebration.
Wonderful!
