I, too, am Bert

I just took the Sesame Street Personality Quiz. I, too, am Bert! I just reported this to my sister, who said, not quite scathingly, "You are so Bert."

By all accounts, yesterday's Eucharistic Procession from St Patrick's, Church Hill, to St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, was a great success. About ten thousand people walked, praying the Rosary and singing; the hymns and prayers were broadcast over a local radio station.

Some Bible-only Christians also turned out, to heckle. I thought afterwards, they would not be here if it were not for the Eucharist. Our Lord drew us to that procession, because we love Him in His Eucharistic Presence, and that same Presence drew them, even if it was to deny that Presence. However mistakenly they denied it, they did so because they love Him, and the Eucharist drew them into a public declaration of that love. He was calling them.
