In the Heart of the City…

How blessed I was to find not only a TLM but a TLM on W. 37th St. in midtown Manhattan!

For those unfamiliar with the Big Apple, this location is literally in the heart of it all – a few blocks south of Times Square and a few blocks north of Herald Square. In fact, I myself have walked down this particular block of 37th St. hundreds of times in my life and had never even noticed the beautiful façade of the Shrine of the Holy Innocents.  for a 6 PM daily mass on a weekday, there were a fair number of people present. And true to form for the Latin Mass, these people represented all walks of life, but particularly those tending on the younger side. 

Praised be God because He gives us signs of hope like this. Below are pictures from inside the church. Take note of the beautiful description of the drawing of “The Return”.

If nothing else, the scent of burning incense used for Adoration just prior to Mass was a nice respite from the scent of burning cannibis that now seems omnipresent throughout the island of Manhattan.
