Attend a Eucharistic Procession
On the feast of Corpus Christi, many churches have Eucharistic processions. A Eucharistic procession is a public witness of the veneration of the Most Holy Eucharist, conducted through public streets. It takes place this way: A consecrated host—the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus himself —is placed in a monstrance, which is then carried by a priest who leads the faithful in procession. Like a pilgrimage, a Eucharistic procession normally starts at one holy place and ends at another. This earthly journey reminds the Catholic faithful of their spiritual journey toward eternal life with God.
Today, find a local Eucharistic procession and join in! Each year there is a Eucharistic Procession at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Detroit. Other parishes have them as well.
Can’t make it to a procession? Visit Jesus at an Adoration Chapel. Many parishes have 24-hour chapels for perpetual (or continuous) adoration. As a family, spend time with the Lord in adoration. Spend time in silence and pray for the needs of your family and friends. Bring a journal to write down anything you hear the Lord speak into your heart.

Listen and sing along with Matt Maher’s song, Adoration. You can find it on YouTube and most streaming sites.
