Monday, I made it out to the Cathedral Basilica for Mass. It contains the largest collection of mosaics under one roof. I took the tour at least twice while living in St. Louis and could spend hours gazing at the ceiling. Monday, I glanced up during Mass and to my surprise discovered some new-old faces.
St. Gregory the Great and St. Athanasius stared down at me from their tiled arches. I hadn't known their stories before this year, but now I have read their works and about their lives. St. Ambrose was more familiar, and St. Francis closer. It's nice to see that I am learning things and meeting new people at school.
