Wow! Wonderful! I am already sharing it with others. I see Father Thomas Loya is concelebrating and Deacon Sabatino Carnazzo is also present. A big thanks to those who recorded and edited this video.

Beyond the singing (which was quite wonderful), the most important part of this is the homily, which I advise everyone to watch and contemplate. It begins about 30 minutes into the video.
