00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,636
I really love Corpus Christi procession.
2
00:00:01,636 --> 00:00:03,404
It's my favorite day of the year.
3
00:00:03,755 --> 00:00:05,732
I just love being able to see Jesus in the Eucharist
4
00:00:05,732 --> 00:00:08,261
and just come together as a Church here in Brisbane.
5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,647
We are here to proclaim our faith
6
00:00:10,647 --> 00:00:12,429
and represent our culture as well.
7
00:00:12,738 --> 00:00:14,640
I'm actually volunteering today,
8
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,720
I'm one of the guard of honours
9
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,230
and it is an honour.
10
00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:19,805
We're just here to
11
00:00:19,805 --> 00:00:21,158
process with our Lord, to adore our Lord,
12
00:00:21,158 --> 00:00:22,480
be a witness of our faith,
13
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,197
bring Christ to the world, walk with Him
14
00:00:24,197 --> 00:00:26,718
as he walks in us as living tabernacles.
15
00:00:27,130 --> 00:00:28,969
I'm walking with Jesus,
16
00:00:28,969 --> 00:00:30,065
yeah, that's how I'm feeling.
17
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,131
I think it's really good and really nice
18
00:00:32,131 --> 00:00:34,400
and I think it's a great proclamation for our faith.
19
00:00:34,699 --> 00:00:36,437
And just to pray and
20
00:00:36,437 --> 00:00:39,895
for all those that don't have God in their lives yet and just
21
00:00:39,895 --> 00:00:41,559
give them a hunger for Jesus.
22
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,604
This is very important because
23
00:00:43,604 --> 00:00:46,129
Jesus comes to us as a Saviour.
24
00:00:46,624 --> 00:00:49,832
He gave the body to be one community.
25
00:00:50,069 --> 00:00:51,949
Christ is the King, which is Corpus Christi.
26
00:00:52,454 --> 00:00:53,426
You got to like,
27
00:00:53,426 --> 00:00:54,497
realise Jesus is the King,
28
00:00:54,497 --> 00:00:56,633
you come here to worship that, His Kingship.
29
00:00:56,901 --> 00:00:59,835
I just think it's such an incredible proclamation of faith.
30
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
We believe in the presence of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
31
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,499
of our Lord Jesus Christ and
32
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:07,166
He's the source of life and
33
00:01:07,166 --> 00:01:09,433
He's always waiting for us in the tabernacle.
34
00:01:09,783 --> 00:01:12,805
He came down to us with such humility and
35
00:01:12,805 --> 00:01:15,520
we should never forget Him, that He's always there for us in the Church.
36
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,293
We need to send that out in the city.
37
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,872
It's such a honour and I always feel so proud of my faith
38
00:01:20,872 --> 00:01:22,682
when we do this every year, I look forward to it.
39
00:01:23,074 --> 00:01:25,276
It is wonderful because I took part in Rome
40
00:01:25,276 --> 00:01:27,792
in the Corpus Christi procession in Rome
41
00:01:27,792 --> 00:01:30,748
with the Holy Father in 2016.
42
00:01:30,748 --> 00:01:33,167
So it's nice to know that it's happening all over the world.
43
00:01:33,332 --> 00:01:36,000
The Eucharist is the treasure of the Church,
44
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,018
it's Jesus real in our lives.
45
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,713
The Corpus Christ procession has this,
46
00:01:41,713 --> 00:01:43,892
this meaning to show to the world Jesus.
47
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,636
And this is really important that
48
00:01:46,636 --> 00:01:49,058
more people can come and enjoy with us.
49
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,280
It's our pathway to Heaven.
50
00:01:51,683 --> 00:01:53,877
It's a fantastic Feast to be a part of.
51
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,995
It's great to do the walk around the city, it's fantastic I feel.
52
00:01:58,222 --> 00:02:01,466
It's so rich in everything, in every which way
53
00:02:01,466 --> 00:02:03,213
as far as our Christian journey.
54
00:02:03,564 --> 00:02:04,658
I'm overwhelmed with it.
55
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,073
It's really powerful the way that we're able to witness
56
00:02:08,073 --> 00:02:10,586
our faith but also testifying that
57
00:02:10,586 --> 00:02:12,478
Jesus is real and in the Eucharist.
58
00:02:12,478 --> 00:02:15,152
It's just amazing to think that every time we go to Mass
59
00:02:15,152 --> 00:02:18,000
we get Jesus for real, you know, not just
60
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,080
as a symbol, but, you know, He's really there.
61
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,349
So yeah, to me that's very special.
62
00:02:23,061 --> 00:02:25,484
I would say it's the cornerstone
63
00:02:25,484 --> 00:02:28,240
that we can worship the Blessed Sacrament,
64
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,566
worship our God
65
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:33,734
and that young people, especially young men
and women who are feeling that calling
66
00:02:33,734 --> 00:02:35,267
that they see they're not alone.
67
00:02:35,525 --> 00:02:37,187
So in terms of my own vocational calling,
68
00:02:37,187 --> 00:02:39,360
I'd say it's built off a community,
69
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,583
it's built within a community.
70
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,339
That strengthens me, that makes me want to
71
00:02:43,339 --> 00:02:45,928
completely devote my life to serving these people as well.
72
00:02:46,382 --> 00:02:48,914
I'm proud to be Catholic and I want to show that.
73
00:02:49,357 --> 00:02:52,500
You know, I want to show everyone that I'm a Catholic
74
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:55,825
and I believe in the Body and Blood of Christ.
75
00:02:56,402 --> 00:02:57,760
It actually felt like super beautiful,
76
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,233
I was talking to my friend she and I were
talking about how it reminds us like
77
00:03:01,233 --> 00:03:03,888
of our future, God willing, our future life in heaven.
78
00:03:04,084 --> 00:03:07,499
When we were praying like the Rosary like the wind was moving in such a
79
00:03:07,499 --> 00:03:10,613
very spiritual way that it can only be
80
00:03:10,613 --> 00:03:12,868
God, I can only explain it as God.
81
00:03:13,373 --> 00:03:15,884
It surpassed everything that I was going to expect.
82
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,890
So I'm so grateful,
83
00:03:17,890 --> 00:03:18,954
I would love to come again.
84
00:03:19,305 --> 00:03:21,378
We love Jesus!
