Pilgrimage celebrates holy Eucharist in downtown San Angelo
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — A pilgrimage went through Downtown San Angelo celebrating Pentecost Sunday with a holy Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament, otherwise known as the body of Jesus Christ, on Sunday, June 8.
'Our faith that is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ,' said Adam Wolin, Pilgrim from Odessa, Texas. 'He gave us the Eucharist so he could be with us, always. So it means a lot. And I just want to show my support to my Lord.'
According to Rev. Ryan Rojo, San Angelo Catholic Diocese, there has been a three-year revival of Catholics where the United States Bishops are inviting Catholic people to meditate on a deeper reality of the Eucharist.
Pilgrims commented that they find this time as a time of healing. That even in the heat of the morning in Texas, they are willing to walk for the Lord.
'You just imagine Jesus actually walking, and everybody else following it, puts it in perspective,' said Jonathan Hernandez, National Eucharistic Pilgrimage.
This event started in May in Indianapolis, Indiana, and is passing through West Texas and will conclude in Los Angeles, California, later this month. The reason is the hopes of unifying the church and the world.
'I think that the Holy Spirit is actively inviting us to the power of Eucharist to really reclaim our baptism, our identity, our identity as Christians and our identity as a church,' Rojo said.
As the Pilgrimage continues, it is expected to be in Fort Stockton over the next few days before making its final stop in Texas, in El Paso.
