Have you ever gone back in time to the masses in Latin? The 8th grade class was invited by Canon Moreau (a position higher than a Monsignor) to a Latin Mass. The mass was distinct, very different from regular masses. This type of mass has been practiced for about 1600 years. To think how old this mass is, I felt that we were traveling back in time. Before the mass started, Canon Moreau gave us a little background explaining the features of mass. He asked us several questions, one would be, "What language would you speak in heaven?" I was struck by this question thinking the answer would be from my intellectual side of my brain. I realized the question could only be answered using my heart and faith. I enjoyed the mass very much. I devoted my listening to the way pronounced the words. After the mass, he came to the classroom and asked if we had any questions or comments about the mass. I appreciated the time he came to the class. His visit educated me about the traditional ways of mass.
