Last night was unforgettable. I was at church with my partner and there were so many of us who showed up for the mass at
Saints Peter and Paul Church t was ASH WEDNESDAY. First time in 78 years that it coincided on VALENTINE'S DAY. So this is meaningful and symbolical for many.
We attend mass here in
Saints Peter and
Paul when we are limited by time and space since this
Gothic church is so close to home, just 5 minutes on foot and then we are there. It is also right across
Washington Square, our neighborhood park in this neck of the wood.
The mass started at 6 PM and it was packed. Many tourists and guests were present. It was a good feeling of being there, listening to the priest giving his homily and with us participating in the message of Lent (praying together, alms giving and making some sacrifices). I am not preacher but I believe in doing all of the above. And after mass, I felt better. Later, we headed to
Victoria Pastry for some coffee and then we were home.
