I was in a quiet introspective mood for this mass.
Unfortunately, in my current family situation, going to Mass feels like playing hooky. But what can I do? Maybe it is a deserved penance.
I sat at the right pillar seat
I didn't consult the hymnal as I took in the mass. I had read it twice beforehand. I want to know the order of the mass without having to flip through pages.
I could do without music at Mass. I prefer to recite its prose and poetry, and not sing, or at least let the others do the singing. But at the end of the Mass, They sung the Star of Wonder hymn and it was entrancing.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Why can't the music always been like that?
