after waking up at 0530 and showering in the cold water, i departed for pedro santana (5 kilo's away) to celebrate Mass at 0700. i arrived around 0615 and the church was open and the women were setting up the altar, moving the flowers, and doing whatever it is that women do. i had seated myself up on the altar so as not to be disturbed by anyone, and at 0630 the church became a tomb - deadly silent. i remember looking up briefly to see what had happened and saw 20 people sitting in the pews praying - and yet not a sound resounded. for an entire half-hour i prayed in a quiet, peaceful, silent church. it has made me realize what i took for granted so often. i just hope it happens again...
