Mass at Assumption Parish Ottawa

Maureen and I went to Assumption Parish on Sunday. What a beautiful church. What a beautiful service. Simple. No singing. Good short homily. The priest said this:
"Jesus has sweet words for us...come to me all who are burdened...the Mass is the source and summit of our life...the Eucharist was all taken away from us. All the signs of our fruits, our buildings were closed...not only should be open our churches...the government would not even consider them essential services...we must open our hearts...if we find it burdensome Jesus asks us to come to Him...my God and my all"
And the church has a crucifix. Amen to that.
