The Church carries the Blessed Sacrament in procession with such pomp on Corpus Christi, first, to celebrate the victory gained by the faith over so many heretics who impugn this mystery; secondly, to atone in some manner for the great irreverences and injuries which Our Lord suffers from wicked men in this Sacrament of love; thirdly, to revive the faith of Christians in this Sacrament, and to increase their devotion toward it.
