Papal Nuncio Archbishop Charles BrownHomily notes of Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Charles J Brown for Mass celebrating the Eucharistic Procession in Cork

O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine, All praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine.

It is indeed a great pleasure for me to be here in Cork this afternoon to take part in this historic Corpus Christi procession. In a special way, I want to thank Bishop John Buckley for having invited me to be with you today. And what a joy it is to carry the Blessed Sacrament through the streets of this beautiful city.

These processions, some of which date back hundreds of years, are an expression of our Catholic faith in Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist.
