Keeping the Wait
You will be much surprised to know that a parish like San Romano Martire,
Rome is very modern in all senses and yet very traditional. The faithful for
one thing participate actively in the liturgies. You would have seen the
participation at the Mass of the Last Supper followed by vigil through the
night (the various groups taking turns) until the next morning and then continue
to sanctify the day by praying the hours at 8.30 am, 9.30 am, 12.00 noon, 4.00
pm and the Veneration of the cross at 6.00 pm. It is then followed by Via
Crucis (way of the cross) at 8.30 pm passing through all the living quarters/apartments
until 11.30 pm (all this while a priest is made available for confessions). I think
I have said enough or else some may begin to doubt my sincerity.
The
meditation music tells us just one thing – the love of the Father for us. I
managed to clipped few shots in between the confessions as I walked along the
way of the cross as penitents pop up every now then for confessions.
