Hey Fellow Catholics!
Drive-by mass and communion is a real thing apparently. Put
a priest on the back of a truck, give him a microphone and some speakers and
you can catch mass by standing on your front porch. Or you can catch it as you
go flying by the priest-mobile in your bus full of students. Either way, I think
it counts.
Just kidding. In all seriousness, we really did pass a priest
in the back of a truck saying mass. Yesterday all the towns heading up the
hillside to Monteverde were celebrating Corpus Christi with celebrations along
the way. The priest began at a town at the bottom of the mountain and stopped
at every pueblo on the way up to say
mass or pray. As he passed through each town, the townspeople would gather and
follow him up to the next church. The great processional ended at the top of
the mountain in Monteverde. The route along the way was decorated with balloons
and beautiful displays of flowers! It was really amazing to witness for the
short time that I did!
On the downside, I don’t think it actually counted as mass.
Pura vida,
Jessica Lynn
