Humble Procession versus Pride Parade

About this sermon

June is the month where Holy Mother Church focuses her piety and devotions on the Sacred Heart of Jesus. And on this past Thursday, we honored the Most Blessed Sacrament on the Feast of Corpus Christi and will actually have a procession today. But the secularist realm has another focus during this month. Through the actions of previous presidents and legislators, June has become the month dedicated to affirm and validate various sexual perversions that are utterly degrading of men, and yet we are told to be prideful of such violations of the Decalogue. In fact, parades and processions must be held to proclaim publicly the goodness of an act that brings about vengeance from heaven, as well as natural punishments connected with transgressing the laws of the created order. Disturbing clips from these parades show the worst excesses of this prideful movement, including lewd dancing… simulated acts of disordered lust…the corruption of minors…flamboyant and outlandish theatrical displays and costumes that demonstrate just how unreal their worldview actually is. But despite all of these signs of moral sickness and cultural rot, one can also see a remedy for it all in another sort of procession …the humble…hidden…self-effacing parade of the Eucharistic King…the traditional Corpus Christi Procession. This is no prideful parade of vice, but rather an exaltation of the humble and hidden Eucharistic Lord. As the Lauda Sion sequence before the Gospel began: Praise, O Sion, thy Savior, praise thy Leader and thy Shepherd in hymns and canticles. As much as thou canst, so much darest thou, for He is above all praise, nor art thou able to praise Him enough. In no other of His sacred mysteries is Our Lord Jesus Christ so lowly…so humiliated as in the Holy Eucharist. During His earthly pilgrimage, Our Lord’s Divinity was hidden under the veil of the Sacred Humanity, and yet the Divinity came through in His holy miracles, and even on Good Friday Itself when the Roman Centurion admitted openly that, Indeed this man was the Son of God." But in the Holy Eucharist, far from appearing to be God, He does not even show any resemblance to man. Divinity and Humanity lay hidden under the veil of the Blessed Sacrament. He is more little and vulnerable, in a sense, than He was in the manger at Bethlehem.
