Cassock again

On Good Friday I was able to be a communion minister for the Papal liturgy.  We vested in the side chapel where Pope John Paul II is entombed.  

So I was able to be close, which is normally not possible.  We had a beautiful service except that we did not have very good seat and were unable to take any pictures.  I did stop to get a picture of the crucifix we used.  

I just saw the facebook pictures of St. John's service.  There is a real unity in the Church, as we celebrated the same ritual.  On this solemn day we bring all our human struggles to Jesus, who was human just like us.
