Flabbergasted by a devout Holy Mass

From Daphne Momple, Cape Town – A  few months ago, I attended Mass at St Lawrence church in Delft, on the Cape Flats, as the church was celebrating the feast of its patron saint. I had visited this church a year previously, and I was flabbergasted at what I noticed at this year’s Mass.

New seats had been added, and the church was filled. The congregation  of all ages had grown immensely.

Everyone, but everyone, was totally immersed in this Mass. There were no unnecessary movements. The congregation’s eyes were focused on Fr Emmanuel Eyeowa CMF or on the prayers on the overhead screen. The prayers were said loudly and the singing by a traditional choir was vibrant and set a lively tone.

Fr Emmanuel, I salute you for your own spiritual growth which has filtered down to your congregation.
