Month of the Sacred Heart, Day 19, Corpus Christi

The Solemnity of Corpus Christi is transferred to today in the U.S., and hence this painting of a Corpus Christi procession -- with an image of the Sacred Heart in the background. 

I know I keep coming back to this quotation, but I love it. 

Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament… There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth....  ~ J.R.R. Tolkien in a letter to his son
