Blog Blast, Day 3. The Feast of the Assumption of Mary took me to Saint Bernadette's in Silver Spring. Thanks to blogging, and not wanting to fall further off my 52 church pace, I think I have hit all the holy days this year.
Mass was at 7:30, which seems to be a pretty popular holy day time. I was surprised by how many families came to church and enjoyed that there was a good sized crowd. Saint Bernadette's is a cross shaped church, and because I followed another family in, I ended up sitting alongside the altar. That was kind of cool. I could see the altar, the organist and choir. I could wonder why they had so many altar servers and I could check out the Infant of Prague statue behind me.
As I mentioned yesterday, I have been feeling a little unsettled lately. It took me most of mass to quiet myself so I could just enjoy it. The homily was based around the slogan "Life is good."
I'm winding things down, and people are starting to ask what I'm planning on doing next. I haven't figured that out yet. I don't consider myself shopping for a church; I find that concept a little bizarre. This project started out returning to a lost habit, and I hope I can keep going.
Note to self: if you are going to set your phone to silent and plan on using that for your alarm clock, you should turn the ringer back on before you go to bed. See, another lesson learned.
My stop at Christ the King Sunday rounds out my catch up. See you tomorrow!
