A Spiritual Experience in a Historic Church πβ¨
During my recent visit, I finally had the chance to attend Sunday Mass at this historic and beautiful old church near Lafayette Square. The moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a place of peace and reverence. I chose the Latin Morning Prayer service, and it made me feel like a wide-eyed First Communicant all over again! πβ€οΈ I had my First Communion the year before Vatican II, so I still remembered all the prayers β even if I was a little rusty. It was Gaudete Sunday (the third Sunday of Advent), and everything was adorned in the traditional rose-pink colors, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. πΈπ The sacred art and stained-glass windows were absolutely breathtaking, and the organ filled the space with powerful, moving music. πΆπͺ The congregation was a beautiful mix of the oldest parishioners and the newest visitors, all coming together in faith. After the service, the Father warmly welcomed me, and when I mentioned I was from Los Angeles, several parishioners came over to chat! They were eager to hear updates about the Archdiocese of the West. π£οΈπ It felt like a true community, both holy and heartfelt. Amen! π #HistoricChurch #LatinMass #SpiritualJourney #GaudeteSunday #CatholicFaith #CommunityLove #StainedGlassBeauty #TraditionalWorship #Amen ππΏπ
