Sunday, June 15th 11 am BST What a beautiful Mass this morning! It moved me very much, perhaps more than the Mass in Genoa. Papa seemed to me to be on top form and to be enchoying everything - the great welcome was overpowering. Lots of banners. The music for the Mass was, I thought, quite in keeping with the occasion - it's a setting we have in our church many Sundays and is certainly one of the holier settings. Most of it was in Latin, too, except for the Kyrie, obviously.
Note: the faithful who received Holy Communion from Papa again knelt at a prie dieu and received on the tongue. So this wasn't something that was reserved for Corpus Christi.
I loved the vestments, though the exact colours are difficult to discern on EWTN. The obvious green of the season, worn by all the clerics except for Papa and his deacons, did clash a bit with Papa's own colour, which appeared to me to be a lovely shade of gold/green/lime. I liked it, anyway!
I feel on Cloud Nine now! Papa - come to England! PLEASE!!!!! We need that injection of holiness. The Italians are lucky to have had ten Papal visits. |
