Your post sums it up-the reverence, the solemnity and respectful adoration-and the sense of communion with God-it was joyous worship without being like a tent revival. There was also a certain peace in the flow of the latin and a oneness with the other worshippers that is missing for me now-just turning to the person next to you, shaking hands and saying may the peace of God be with you just doesn't do the same thing, for some of us, at least. When I showed hubby an article about many wanting to return to the pre-Vat II latin mass, he said "great-I'll be there gladly every Sunday and Holy day of obligation again when they do"-he is so unthrilled with the way the mass has gone the last several years that he doesn't always go to mass with me like he used to.
Mass is still the union with Jesus at the moment he died on the cross - whether it is in Latin or English, it's still the same. God is present, communion happens, it is eternal. Just as the sacrifice Jesus made is. I will celebrate it either in English or Latin, doesn't matter to me. Wouldn't miss it for anything.
