colliemommieWent to a Roman Catholic Mass for the first time in two years today, as I am in Pittsburgh and my Byzantine Rite Catholic church is in Va Beach. It seemed really short, but I was thrilled we got to sit down some. (Last year I wore new shoes to Easter, and had to stand in them for 3 hours straight. It was like Super Lent, concentrated for your penetential pleasure.)
I missed organ music. There was some yummy Bach-ness that made my scalp tingle. Though I have not missed 1970's choral church music. That just makes the scalp crawl.
Otherwise, pretty lackluster experience. I hadn't thought about how much audience participation the Divine Liturgy has until I sat through a Mass again. I missed my chanting.
Happy Spring, Happy Easter, Christos voskres! Take your pick and have a great one!
