The Body of Christ at Nationals Park

Tom Hoopes here. I'm down at the priest's checkpoint area. Rows of priests are lining up to receive ciboriums. Then they stream out into the stadium holding the Body of Christ in the vessels in their hands. It's an awesome sight.

One doesn't know whether to kneel or bow or genuflect. One heartening sight is the vendors standing idly by their shops. No food is allowed to be sold during the time of the hourlong Eucharistic fast before Communion. This caused some consternation in the press booth where only water is available.

But sorry folks, you're in Our House now.
