Jesus, I adore youby Genie Packard, Night Luminaries, Lake Jackson, Texas Our Eucharistic Procession on June 2, the Feast of Corpus Christi, was a joint effort with between neighboring parishes: St. Jerome, in Clute, Texas and St. Michael parish in Lake Jackson, Texas. Theresians Maria Macaraeg, Helen Anderson, and I were so impressed by the fervor of the Clute planners! On the day of the procession, we arrived at St. Jerome to a wonderfully festive scene of automobiles decorated with fresh flower wreaths, tulle bows on the car doors, and window flags that read "Jesus, I adore you!" The participants even wore t-shirts bearing the iconic symbol of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance! The prayerful one-mile walking procession was followed by a police-escorted motorcade to our church, where about 300+ persons from both parishes assembled for another mile-long procession. Our Eucharistic Lord stopped to bless residents and staffers at three senior living facilities in addition to our local hospital. No one suffered from heat exhaustion, and all were exhilarated to gather in the church for Reposition of the Blessed Sacrament. The event was followed by refreshments in the hall where the joy was quite palpable. It was obvious that those who participated were deeply in love with the Lord. Jesus shared His abundant graces and blessings with us that day because we believe that He is truly present among us...truly present in the Holy Eucharist! Many thanks to Night Luminaries Donna, Morgan, Lisa, Jet, and Edna who prayed for a successful event, and to Mary, Janet, Yvonne and Traci, who helped keep participants safe in the heat of the day. I felt the intensity of His love that day, and pray that I am never separated from that love.
