That’s fine. 🙂

From what I gather on Zenit, the English translation should be coming up this evening.

I am going to send a copy of the homily to my pastor so that he could read it. This homily, along with the passages from the Spirit of the Liturgy, demonstrates a solid reminder of the importance of the Blessed Sacrament. While the Holy Father devoted Holy Thursday’s homily to the institution of Holy Orders, he ties in the Washing of the Feet with the Solemntiy of Corpus Christi because Jesus humbles Himself to come down among us a man, for us men and for our salvation, taking on our condition as creatures so that we could be saved by a man like us in all things, but sin. Kneeling down to wash the feet of the 12 was something very humbling for the Son of God to do. He carries on this posture by choosing to remain with us under the humble forms of bread and wine.

I think once you read the entire homily, you will get a really solid catechesis on the Holy Eucharist.
 
And according to later news reports it was ‘choregraphed’ as a response to the homily and the feast.

How can it not be interesting?

Have you read “Spirit of the Liturgy”?

to me it feels like the book is playing out in real life…if it is…well then perhaps there will be some bigtime liturgical reform.
