Suffice it to say, the Mass this morning at Nationals Park in Washington was glorious.
The weather was picture perfect for the third day in a row (This has to be some kind of record for the D.C. area....I seriously want to know who the Archbishop of Washington had on his team praying for the weather this week....must have been the Poor Clares or something). The ballpark was in fact an outdoor cathedral...that wasn't just some analogy coined by the media. It was indeed a very prayerful atmosphere. The liturgy itself was simply beautiful -- flawless -- not a glitch to be seen.
I got some pretty good photos of the altar, a few shots of the popemobile on its ride around the stadium, and some video. But those are currently still on my colleague's camera.
And besides, this is about all you're gonna get out of me tonight. I was up at 4 a.m. to make it to the stadium. So further commentary and, hopefully, some pictures, will have to wait till the weekend.
