reflections on my first latin mass

"You come to me and unite Yourself intimately to me under the form of nourishment. Your Blood now runs in mine, Your Soul, Incarnate God, compenetrates mine, giving courage and support. What miracles! Who would have ever imagined such!"
- St. Maximilian Kolbe

So Sunday I went to my first Latin Mass at Sacred Heart Church in Grand Rapids. I went not really sure what to expect. I had heard much talk about it(especially in the wake of the motu proprio). Anyways. I am guessing it was a low mass. I am not sure of all the differences in the different ways the mass is celebrated, but i think it was a low mass.

Anyways here are my positive impressions:

1) I loved the church building. I am a sucker for well designed and cool looking churches. It was a beautiful looking church building with a wonderful architecture and interior. There were stain glass windows on both sides with the joyful and glorious mysteries. it was simply incredible, i spent the first 5 minutes in there looking around

2)In the Latin mass it makes it more obvious that the priest is not just another person, he has a special role

3)It seemed like everyone was very reverent

4) Receiving the Holy Eucharist while kneeling was a totally different experience that i definetly liked

5) i loved the fact that there were prayers at the end that the congregation prayed together. And people stayed and prayed instead of rushing to get out

well, thats my thoughts.
