Although I'm still living my studium days now in Rome, I'll always remember all of the lovely Solemn High Masses that we have celebrated every Sunday and Holy Day at our parish in Rome. But, whether residing in Rome or extra urbem, I hope to always continue to santify my Sundays with a Solemn High Mass (although in the urbs it's always the best!).
The Church has such sympathy for our human condition. In Her wisdom, the design of the outward movements of the Holy Mass so speak to our human element and so we learn from the study of the "whys" of the rites.
