If you go to the 5:30 Mass in the Cathedral on a bright summer’s day, the light streams in from the windows high in the nave on the west side, casting a brilliant luminescence across the black, vaulted ceiling. It is fantastic to behold as the organ sends up its thunderous chords at the end of the Mass.

Out of his infinite glory, may he give you the power through his Spirit for your hidden self to grow strong, so that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, and then, planted in love and built on love, you will with all the saints have strength to grasp the breadth and the length, the height and the depth; until, knowing the love of Christ, which is beyond all knowledge, you are filled with the utter fullness of God.

(Ephesians 3:14–19)
