IN the NEWS - Monstrance Idolatry

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,... Exodus 20:4

"Auxiliary Bishop David G. O’Connell of Los Angeles climbed a high summit in the San Gabriel Valley April 23 to bless the most populous counties of Southern California and beyond during this
pandemic.

O’Connell, who oversees the San Gabriel pastoral region of the Los Angeles Archdiocese, invoked the power of God “to bring us out from the darkness of the pandemic to the light of the Lord’s glory.”

The evening began with the rosary and continued with canticles of praise and ended with the bishop’s blessing of the four corners of Southern California as he held up the monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament." CRUX
