I watched it with joy. Then, at the end, I couldn't get past the priest placing the monstrance in a duffel bag for one thing. We have our traditions and rubrics for exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for multiple reasons. Maybe the priest had special permission or there already exists situations that are exempt from protocol. What does anyone else have to say?

I won't go as far as to say that what they did was wrong, but there is room for improvement. Perhaps simply setting the monstrance down, removing Christ, placing him in a proper receptacle, and then retiring the monstrance to the duffle would work.

Or processing out of the area to a different location where the monstrance can be evacuated properly.

I think it would have been way cool to have concluded with "Holy God We Praise Thy Name." I'll bet in Wis. Rapids you'd get a good number of people who already know the hymn to join in.
