The 10:30 Masses in the Cathedral are being held in the Holy Souls Chapel. The Latin Mass at 10:00 comes off much better in one of these side chapels, with the priest facing the altar. The simple dignity and the age old words are so inspiring.

That is not to say that the mass in English is inferior. It is just different; more an intellectual exercise in understanding the readings and less a spiritual experience.

Pay attention, keep calm, have no fear. Do not let your heart sink.

Isaiah 7: 1-9
