There was a real sense of occasion (helped in no small part by the fact that people were silently praying and waiting rather than causing mayhem as sadly happens so often in our churches these days). I found myself getting really excited for the start of Mass as the carols progressed. I've heard and read so much about EF Mass and wasn't disappointed. It shows how much some churches and priests have strayed from what Mass is supposed to be about. Thank you once again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
