Sigh. My pictures rarely seem to do justice to these beautiful events, but the story's the same again today. This past Sunday, I was thrilled to be part of a mass celebrating 50 years of marriage for couples from all over the Chicago Archdiocese. The mass was held at Holy Name Cathedral, and the celebrating couples filled the entire church! Even immediate family couldn't be accommodated in the Cathedral, so the musicians had the best (and really only) seats available in the house. It was a beautiful mass, featuring a full choir (in white shirts in the foreground of the picture), organ, harp, and violin. Ricardo Ramirez (Director of Music at the Cathedral) kept us all together as we offered Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Panis Angelicus, and (of course) Schubert's Ave Maria.
