Si Racha, Thailand, Jun 4, 2013 \/ 04:12 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- In a spirit of jubilation and fervor, Catholics in Thailand celebrated the feast of Corpus Christi with Eucharistic adoration and processions.<\/p>\n

\tThe solemn liturgical celebrations at the Sacred Heart Church in Sriracha drew large crowds, despite heavy rain showers. Mass was followed with traditional floral processions and adoration to celebrate the real presence of Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist.<\/p>\n

\tIn his homily, Bishop Silvio Siripong Chartsri of Chantaburi stressed that the Eucharist empowers and transforms lives in order for the faithful to be true disciples, sharing in the communion of Christ.<\/p>\n

\tBishop Silvio drew his homily from the words of Pope Francis, who spoke before leading a Corpus Christi procession.<\/p>\n

\tThe Eucharist motivates and invigorates Christian life, he said, explaining that the sacrament \u201cnourishes\u201d the faithful to \u201cbe in close communion with the Lord and His people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe bishop highlighted the words of Pope Francis: \u201cThe Eucharist is the sacrament of the communion that takes us out of our individualism so that together we live our discipleship, our faith in him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tHe further encouraged the faithful to remember the importance of \u201cEucharistic Communion with God and the relationship with the neighbor.\u201d Charity is an indispensable virtue in the life of a Christian, he said.<\/p>\n

\tBishop emeritus Lawrence Thienchai Samanchit joined in the sacred celebration, along with local priests and various religious communities, schools and parishioners.<\/p>\n

\tParishioners welcomed the Corpus Christi homily of the Pope Francis with enthusiasm, saying they were \u201chappy\u201d to hear the Holy Father\u2019s teachings translated into their own language.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tKanjanee Jokthong, a local catechist said, said that the feast of Corpus Christi \u201cis important to reinforce our spiritual life and interpersonal relationship with our fellow beings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIn totality, this sacrament is the center of our life,\u201d she explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
