I like these too. Perhaps I should go with you then. Perhaps funny things
occur at mass where I go and I am unaware of what goes on. I go to
traditional masses. Are there any in your town? I was so happy to find my
daughter moved across the street from a church which keeps the tradition
alive. I go all the way across town each week to hear mass at that church.
I could go to a church which is closer to me but it offers me and my son a
chants to spend some quality time with her. I love Latin.
