All this conversation about the mystery and majesty of the mass makes me glad that I am a baptist and can just focus on my relationship with the Lord.

My daily quiet time keeps me in touch and provides a strong anchor amidst the daily trials of life. I recommend it to you. You get to decide if you want to read in latin or english, king james or new living and the conversation is on a personal level.

Modern life offers options of all sorts so why not the choice of Latin or English mass. I believe the switch to English represented democratization of the Catholic Church. The congregation became more interactive with the priest. English would be my first preference, but as a very infrequent churchgoer, I'll leave that decision to the regulars.

A Latin mass with ancient hymns for Christmas would make the day even more special. Gregorian chants are mesmerizing...might consider attending myself for that type of ceremony.<g> A smattering of "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Morn" and "The Holly and The Ivy" could be thrown in for good measure to lend an ecumenical spirit as well.

You would never know I started my Christmas shopping today, would you? lol
