A student would carry a cross at the head of the procession. It was a way of symbolizing Christ's entry into Jerusalem. During the Gospel reading, all of the lights in the church were shut off except a few lights on the altar. The Mass concluded in silence. With these dramatic (for lack of a better word) effects, for me, Palm Sunday Mass took on a more solemn tone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-79319600879302171832007-03-31T12:30:00.000-04:002007-03-31T12:30:00.000-04:00Thank you, Warren.

I also really love Carmelite spirituality, and I notice in your profile you're a secular Carmelite. I attend a Latin mass at a shrine of St. Therese of Lisieux. I really love St. Therese.<BR/><BR/>May God bless you and your family and friends richly this Holy Week, and may you have a blessed Easter, may God give you peace, and may Our Lady keep you safe.<BR/><BR/>WarrenWarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053407632823479165noreply@blogger.com
