On May 20, I took part in a Eucharistic procession that made its way through Washington, D.C., carrying the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ to the White House and other centers of power in our nation’s capital.

Charles Pope — led a kneeling crowd in prayer for our country, our leaders and other intentions.
