On this feast of Corpus Christi  let us remember our religious duty to feed the poor, to set the prisoners free, to care for the widows and orphans, to protect this planet, our common home, to welcome the stranger, to proclaim the social upheaval of the Magnificat of Mary.

On this feast of Corpus Christi I will celebrate as a gay man where the sanctuary of my home is decorated with a rainbow flag. I invite my Rainbow Catholic community to add our colours to those of parish and ethnic communities in the public procession of devotion.  Let's wear the flair of the rainbow alongside the brocade and lace of religious vestments. I invite you to process with the Catholic community witnessing to the Good News of diversity, equality, and inclusion
