“…and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. (Rev 5:8)”

Incense. Don’t you just Love it? Ahh… Mass with incense is just Heavenly. At our last Parish, our lovely priest, would use incense at each Mass, it was so special!  I really bless him for the memory & heights of prayer it carried me to as my soul felt ‘caught-up’ to the Heavens,  being embraced by His Majesty.  Take a look at this youtube clip, for inspiration, … those heading off for World Youth Day in Madrid Spain … this site is not too far, be sure to GET there : Santiago de Compostela, & breath in the treat that you find within it’s worship.  Take a look:
