In the front row of the congregation, only 15 feet from the choir, was a woman who was strikingly dressed in an African long-dress, (etc.) It occurred to me that she was part of a diplomatic corps from Africa; perhaps her bearing AND the dress.<br /><br />We began Mass IX, and she joined in, perfectly on pitch, not missing a note or word of the Latin.<br /><br />That's when I had that "aha" moment that you did in Chicago: She is Universal!Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732686458550385517.post-74921325210398578622011-04-08T02:52:57.091-04:002011-04-08T02:52:57.091-04:00I, too, had a powerful experience of continuity wh...I, too, had a powerful experience of continuity when I was at Mass with a group in the catacombs. We sang at that Mass and I placed my hand into earthen holes where the bodies of the saints that went before me had rested. We in a portion where one had been murdered and we used that sarcophagus as the altar. During communion I had the deepest experience of being connected to Heaven and Earth and to the Universal Church. <br /><br />I enjoyed your post here immensely.Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183603289940405914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732686458550385517.post-56716099234156112582011-03-20T16:28:48.971-04:002011-03-20T16:28:48.971-04:00Welcome to the wonderful world of 'blogging!
