"Truly, it is the indescribable sweetness of contemplation which you give to those who love you. In this you have shown the tenderness of your charity, that when I had no being you made me; and when I strayed away from you, you brought me back again to serve you and commanded me to love you." The Imitation of Christ

All Souls...
The Mass was totally awesome.* You could almost hear the cheering from Purgatory...
There are a few more photos (only a couple) on my Flickr page.
*Yes, the Mass is always awesome, but some times it's more awesome than others...
It looks sparsely attended- or is it just that curiously Catholic thing where everyone remembers that they are not to seek the best seats for themselves and, instead, pack the back of the church?
It wasn't as well-attended as one might wish, but the photos are deceptive. There were 15 or so people in the choir to my right but they didn't want to appear on the blog. I always sit up front because I can take photos more easily... but there were plenty of people behind me (the Epistle side of our church always seems more popular than the Gospel side...
Have ALL the faithful departed?
