Ever Ancient, Ever New - The High Mass at St. Peter's, Steubenville
Late have I loved
you, O Beauty ever ancient, ever new,
late have I loved you!
You were within
me, but I was outside,
and it was there that I searched for you.
In my
unloveliness I plunged into the lovely things which you created. You were with
me, but I was not with you.
Created things kept me from you;
yet if they had
not been in you they would have not been at all.
You called, you shouted, and
you broke through my deafness.
You flashed, you shone, and you dispelled my
blindness.
You breathed your fragrance on me;
I drew in breath and now I pant
for you.
I have tasted you, now I hunger and thirst for more.
You touched me,
and I burned for your peace.
from The Confessions
of Saint Augustine
Thank you, St. Peter's parish for your faith example.

What great pictures of the Mass. I almost went to Steubenville for school.
