Taken from www.fssp.org. This photo isn't of my parish. But we are FSSP. None of the pictures on their website of our chapel are updated.But the vestments and the altar in this photo are similar to ours. [Holy Thursday] Mass tonight reminded me of royalty. Seeing the elaborate vestments of gold & white process into the sanctuary, still possessed a simplicity and humility with the lace surplices and black cassocks underneath. It reminded me of knights in armor. Our new high altar always makes me think of a throne, in which is only suited for Jesus, and I watched this "army", His holy servants, approach His Throne from the choir. They almost seem like they were floating the entire Mass and up through the Eucharistic Procession, assisted by many young altar serving boys which reminded me of angels. Taking witness of this heavenly banquet tonight allowed me to recall back to what I heard Fr.
Leo Patalinghug from the Archdiocese of Baltimore share recently. He shared with us a moment from back when his conversion was taking place, and how before Mass one day he watched a priest place on his vestments and listened to him say the prayers as he was putting them on. He then said... that's when he realized that this priest was preparing for battle.
God bless our priests!
