Amazing!

We had beautiful weather here. I've never heard our priest mention so much today about Divine Mercy Sunday. It was wonderful to see.

One of our other parishes had Services this afternoon.

I watched part of the Mass on EWTN for the Mass at Stockbridge, Mass. There were no winds, but lots of rain/snow.

With all the umbrellas in the crowd, strong and gusty winds would have caused problems.

Some of the groups were protected -- there was a tent for the choir.

Cardinal Maida of Detroit was the Celebrant of the Mass.

My concern about the weather was older people attending the service and with 20,000 expected, it might be difficult to get help if there were a number of people having trouble with the weather.

One could see snow on the roofs as it was raining, so it was cold enough to make it very miserable for some.
