The 3rd Annual Penitential Walk in Reparation for the sacrileges against the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.
On the 23rd of March 2019, we the Knights of the Militia Immaculatae in Chennai demonstrated our love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament by a penitential walk from Royapettah to St. Thomas Mount (the Place where St. Thomas was martyred). All through the 13 km walk we prayed the Rosary, Litanies and sang hymns.
It was a heartening sight to see people reverence the Holy Cross that we were carrying. While some blessed themselves with the sign of the Cross and stood up, and some walked up to touch the Crucifix, others just paved the way for us to pass through. The walk culminated with the “Way of the Cross” from the foot of St. Thomas Mount to the church atop the hill.
This was also a humbling experience for us Knights as we walked through the busy roads of Chennai bearing witness to our crucified Lord.
