The explication of the mystery of the Eucharist is so beautiful it made me weep. I wonder if the priests who tipped the Body and Blood of Christ into plastic cups have read this letter?Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780292617648919766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-18925120204910729892013-08-08T18:40:55.612+01:002013-08-08T18:40:55.612+01:00I was on Copacabana beach for the vigil and mass. ...I was on Copacabana beach for the vigil and mass. Distributing Holy Communion in plastic cups doesn't look or sound great. <br /><br />I didn't see this as our group got nowhere near receiving Holy Communion and I imagine many of the pilgrims didn't either.<br /><br />To be fair to the organisers they had planned to have the vigil and mass on a large field on the edge of Rio de Janeiro but the unseasonal rain had washed it away. I would have hoped that the prevision for Holy Communion would have been far more suitable. Having to transfer it all to Copacabana beach made it difficult for the organisers and the pilgrims on many levels. However, I can sure you that the people I saw were engaging in the mass very appropriately given the situation.<br /><br />I think that it is not fair to blame the Holy Father for the arrangements.
