Latin Mass 2

Another Sunday and another Latin Mass attended.  Around 20adults there I think, and about 10 children, so the tiny church felt quite full.  It is such a blessed time for me...and for us al lI'm sure.  I talked to lots of people afterwards which is always lovely, but it is the Latin Mass itself that I go for.  Quiet, gentle and totally focused on Our Beloved Lord on the altar.  No hustle and bustle, no 'ministers' parading to and from the altar, just the quiet murmurs of the priest and altar server and the (mostly) silent devotion of the people. Maybe it's not 'relevant' maybe it's old fashioned (like 500 years old) but it's moving and holy and when you reluctantly leave, you feel spiritually filled and peaceful.

Thank you for this blessing Lord.
