Jesus crosses from Quebec to Ottawa

Hidden in the form of the Blessed Sacrament, Jesus crossed the Ottawa River from Gatineau to Ottawa this evening, in a joyous Eucharistic Procession. I could scarcely contain myself. And what was amazing was how this procession of young people wearing bright t-shirts saying "disciple" or "sent" and clergy wearing liturgical robes, elicited such a response of warmth and happiness in all the tourists who were attending the Tulip Festival.

The event was part of the 4-day Youth Summit/Montee Jeunesse, one of the fruits of the 2008 Eucharistic Congress.
