I appreciate that you’re concerned about proper respect for the Blessed Sacrament.One thing that bothers me about the video though is the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament being carried around in a bag.
There are proper ways to carry the Blessed Sacrament. When the Host is carried off the church, it is usually in a pyx. Today is the feast of Corpus Cristi, there would be a number of processions of the Blessed Sacrament, and you’d see the Host in a monstrance carried high. I just don’t know if its proper to be carrying the monstrance in a bag. Its purpose is to display the Blessed Sacrament for adoration, not to transport it.I appreciate that you’re concerned about proper respect for the Blessed Sacrament.
Still, how else are they going to bring it to the site?
If the Sacrament is brought to a private home, do they not use some kind of bag or satchel to hold it?
Didn’t you see Bro. JR’s post ? There is no irreverent handling of the Blessed Sacrament here. None at all. The Friar is handling it in the traditional manner for his Order.There are proper ways to carry the Blessed Sacrament. When the Host is carried off the church, it is usually in a pyx.

Considering the intent of the Monk do you really think the Capuchin Monk had evil intent or sacrileged our Blessed Lord?One thing that bothers me about the video though is the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament being carried around in a bag.
Extremely up lifting!That was very cool. Always beautiful to see people honoring Our Lord.
And, because if we can’t unite over Pascha what can we unite over, here’s another Christian Flash Mob for you. This one is from Beirut. It took place in a mall at Pascha (Easter):
They’re singing the Paschal Troparion: “Chris is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!”
Any other Christian Flash Mobs? I love flash mobs, and if they’re honoring God all the better!
You might want to check biblical scripture again.I believe the correct phrase is “.every knee shall bend…”
Just sayn’
ISIAS Chapter 45: verses 23-24
23 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, and shall not return:
**
24 For every knee shall be bowed to me, and every tongue shall swear.*
Romans Chapter 14: verse 11
*11 For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me: and every tongue shall confess to God.
PHILIPPIANS - Chapter 2: verses 9-11
9 Wherefore God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name:
*10 That in the name of Jesus, every knee should bow of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
No need to blush friend. Everyone one here has something to learn everyday.I stand corrected (blush)
