Reading this story earlier in the week, I was so moved that I sought Father's permission to reproduce it here in the Religion Forum. The link to this thread has been sent to him. Please share your reflections on this Mass.

very moving. After saying the rosary now every day for a month and reading this I feel moved to go to Mass tomorrow for the first time in over a year... long story. But I was remembering a Good Friday service I attended in 1972. My new husband and I were house parents in a fraternity but pretty hard core hippies at the time (I've traveled a long way) One evening a friend of a friend knocked at the door and asked if we could shelter someone. We said yes. He stayed in the dorm. After being there two or three days he shared his story. He was a devote Catholic who had been convicted of treason and had walked off the farm so to speak. After he told me this, we went to the Good Friday service and sat next to a police officer wearing his gun. I have never experienced anything like it since. He then left on a Greyhound bus and I have never heard what happened to him.
