Peaceful Procession
Once in a few years, a district level Corpus Christi procession is organized as part of evangelization. In the Petaling Jaya district, my church is relatively the most suitable because it is in the proximity of residential areas. The whole activity involved several churches, and the logistics were quite difficult. Held on a Sunday evening, I felt that the turnout wasn't very encouraging. Many came to serve, but in the end, there wasn't much to do. During the procession, the Sacred Host (on a 4WD float) is exposed at five strategic spots, and there would be prayers and hymns along the way. As usual, there weren't many curious onlookers (KL-ites prefer to hide in their homes), but as we passed the Mayang Oasis Food Court, some guy got very agitated and started shouting. Stirred up by the Holy Spirit perhaps. Five kilometers later, we were back at church. Food was served, and a tonne rubbish cleared up. A long and tiring Sunday.
