“I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.” J.R.R. Tolkien
My first official Mass with my family was on December 25, 1998. As I lifted up the host for the first time, I felt tears welling up in my eyes…13 and a half years of preparation and the moment finally arrived, so special! This photo was taken shortly after the Mass at St. Isidore’s in Rome.
An 80 year old priest accompanied me during this Mass, so I truly felt the passing of the torch!
