We had a beautiful High Mass last Sunday.

It all came together --

* the singing (including Fr. Garcia, who has a good singing voice)
* the High Mass itself (Fr. Garcia is quite a stickler for the rubrics and the Liturgy)
* the server is quite a pro, even in the role of MC at High Mass
* the choir, the organist
* the beautiful Easter hymns - Regina Caeli Jubila, Hail True Victim Life and Light, Jesus Christ is Risen Today, Salve Festa Dies, Vidi Aquam
* the Paschal candle lit, along with the other 6 candles on the altar
* Incense, and lots of it (I did say Fr. Garcia was the Celebrant, didn't I?)
* the Easter lilies were still mostly alive, plus we have artificial white flowers to supplement. We also had real pink roses for the Blessed Mother statue.

I don't think it was a coincidence that Fr. Garcia mentioned in his sermon the material things of the Liturgy. He talked about the symbolism of incense, he mentioned chant and other elements we see and hear at Mass.

I guess it was a beautiful experience for him as well!

I totally forgot about the CathInfo problems, and didn't give it 2 consecutive thoughts during or after the Mass. The Mass did that good of a job making me think about God, heaven, Calvary, Jesus Christ, etc.

But a couple hours before Mass, I was *quite* pre-occupied with the CathInfo attack. Nevertheless, I was able to forget the world for at least an hour and 15 minutes.
