You are so sweet!

I'm not sure I ever mentioned that every weekday morning for a good ten years, I attended Mass before going to school. It was required, & it had its pitfalls.

After some 50+ years, I attended a Latin Mass today. I'd forgotten some of what to do when, but the incense, the altar boys, the priest singing, the choir - it was like what I've heard death is like: You review your life.

I considered all the things I'd done wrong, but also gotten right. I reviewed the joy as well as the hurts. The injustices, but also how fortune (God) smiled upon me at times. All this within five minutes.

I managed to keep from embarrassing myself with sobbing by also thinking:

I took six years of Latin. I had a Latin name, for criminy sake: Antonia. I should UNDERSTAND this stuff.

Man plans, God laughs.
