I'm not making fun of your question, Kate, just saying what uh Ignatius' experience was.

You know, I it's a it's an example of um emotions that are happening, right?

And uh it certainly makes sense that it happens during mass, during any of the sacrifice.

sacraments, it happens for different people at different times.

So I would say to just um accept it as a gift from God, the gift of tears, and the gift of God moving you interiorly, you know, during the sacrament.

And yes, others do experience this, but not everybody.

Not everybody goes to Mass and not everybody cries at Mass and not everybody cries uh, you know, over emotional things in general.

But I would say, Kate, don't worry about it.

It is a gift.

and um, you know, maybe just celebrate it and think of what God might be.

uh inviting you to look at at that particular moment.

So for you, Matt, Kate asks, I am often moved to tears at mass, but don't understand why.

Do others experience this?

What would you say to Kate?

Well Matt Ma, we are ending on a note of praise, uh w which is wonderful.

I wanna thank you so much for so many things.

I've really enjoyed your music over the years, so thank you as a

listener, fan, singer, uh, consumer as it were, of your beautiful music.

Thank you for that.

I know there are many people who would want to thank you, so thank you on behalf of them.
