“Christmas Eve Mass was beautiful. Pope Francis briefly passed within about ten feet of us as he processed down the main aisle. The liturgy itself was primarily in Italian but was punctuated with readings and intentions in Spanish, Swahili, and Mandarin, among others. The sign of peace was perhaps the most joyful moment of all, with everyone greeting each other with that same diversity of languages. The Holy Spirit was so palpable in the awed and reverent faces of those gathered there!”
