Corpus Christi

June 16, 2022 by Amy Welborn

Yes, the feast is today. Second Thursday after Pentecost. But celebrated here in the US next Sunday – and commemorated in other places around the world on Sunday, too – we are currently heading to a place outside the US that will be having a procession on Sunday. But…..let’s do this today anyway.

And then, three years ago, we were in Spain for Corpus Christi. The post describing what we saw in Seville and Caceres is here.

In both places, the path of the Corpus Christi procession was marked with rosemary:

Perhaps my favorite moment, though, was in another town – Trujillo. This was the scene in the late afternoon, with my description below:

In the late afternoon, even there, little girls in long white dresses appeared, walking around the plaza as the adults ate and drank. In general, it was an immensely civilized scene, so beautifully structured to allow everyone the freedom to do what they want – adults to enjoy each other’s company, children to be around and safe, but also on their own, exploring and just being. The girls in white dresses and boys in their suits, racing around with popsicles and soccer balls told me that here, too, there’d been a procession, a celebration, that here he’d been welcomed, too.

    Diocese of Corpus Christi in South Texas is doing their diocesan wide Corpus Christi procession today (actually really cool, they start at the Cathedral and make prayer stops at temporary altars at the county jail and homeless shelter that are nearby before looping back to the cathedral. Parishes are all invited to participate, and there’s a lot of people who come in cultural dress).

    So it is being celebrated today in some areas of the US. At least this one.

  • Today's the memorial of St. Angela Merici, founder of the Ursulines.  Today is the feast the Conversion of Paul. Some related images from my books. The Loyola Kids Book of Bible Stories, the Loyola Kids Book of Heroes, and the Loyola Kids Book of Catholic Signs and Symbols. More:. https://amywelborn.wordpress.com/2023/01/25/the-conversion-of-saul-in-poetry/ St. Francis de Sales, whose feast is today, invites us to focus first, on the reality of the present moment. How is God calling me to love here, now? From St. Francis de Sales, whose feastday is today: It's coming! For more: Pages from an English-language, but Belgian-originating Mass book for children from the 50's.  More at All right, here's another one. I'm trying to get better and more efficient at video for this app, so I'm practicing by doing reels and such related to this year's travel. Last time - my trip to Mexico in October. This time, our trip to England and Scotland from this past June:  Oxford, York, the Hadrian's Wall area, Lindesfarne, Edinburgh and London. Phew! In late October, I spent a week in the gorgeous, wonderful city of Guanajuato, Mexico. I'm currently preparing for another trip and am working on my editing skills (hah) so I'll be more efficient. As practice, here's a short survey of that Guanajuato trip. It was great - as I hope you can tell.
