"An expression of popular Eucharistic devotion is
found in the processions with the Blessed Sacrament that take place in the
streets of many towns and countries; in this regard, I encourage you to keep
alive this beautiful manifestation of public witness to the faith."
Pope Leo XIV expressed this sentiment during his
Wednesday General Audience, recalling that this week the Church celebrates the
Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.
The Pope encouraged the faithful to participate in
this tradition, recalling that "In the Eucharist we contemplate Jesus,
bread broken and given for each one of us."
In his greetings to the faithful, the Pope also
offered special words of closeness to priests and religious serving in the
Middle East.
"I accompany with my prayer and my blessing your
ministry and the hopes of your respective countries."
The Holy Father also greeted the Daughters of the
Sacred Heart of Jesus, the members of the Montfortian Family, and the Sisters
of Our Lady of the Cenacle, encouraging them "to be a sign of hope for all
those who thirst for God, for His truth, and for His peace."--Vatican News
