Pope's funeral

my mood

I am watching a rerun of the Pope's funeral. My French prof scolded us today because we didn't get up at o'dark-thirty to watch it.

Requiem Mass...such beautiful music, and all in Latin... Gregorian chants mixed with organs and voices in the choir... All hauntingly familiar.

I am too young to remember Mass in Latin.

My mother does. She was also able to tell me the Polish word for "uncle", which is how the Poles referred to him. This is the fourth Pope she's seen in her lifetime.

I really don't have much else to say.
