Last Sunday I reflected on how our experience of Mass might
be enriched. Today I turn to a related question: what makes our Sunday
celebration come alive?
From time to time it does us good, I think, to step outside
our own parish and savour a different atmosphere or approach. Earlier today I
attended Mass in my local “Mother Church”: the Cathedral of the Assumption in
Carlow, a town of some 30,000 souls in the South East of Ireland. The Cathedral
serves one of the town’s three parishes.
I was not disappointed.
