Your first experience is filled with every sensory delight.
You have incense, you have music, you have a worshipful order towards God, which is not found anywhere else, in my opinion.
And experiencing that again, particularly at the Brompton Oratory in London, which, as many people will know, has some of the best music left in the UK.
And in other wonderful churches, particularly on trips to Rome and to France, I began to come back.
Yeah, around eight years old, I experienced my first traditional Latin Mass.
My parents went more or less exclusively, but we would still attend the Novus Ordo from time to time.
And that was a diocesan Latin Mass.
So you had to travel quite a while in those days to where we were in the Midlands.
We weren't in London at the time.
So you had to travel quite a while to find a Latin Mass.
They weren't everywhere at the time.
And so occasionally we'd still go to the Novus Ordo and occasionally we would, or most of the time, we'd go to the Latin Mass.
And as I got older, we switched exclusively to the Latin Mass.
We were going to the FSSP and I also went a couple of times to the SSPX, although I didn't really
know what that was at the time and um yeah we settled in this this kind of community the fraternity of saint peter and so my teens really were in that community and then i stopped probably practicing properly um around the age of 17 i would say although i had already fallen into wayward habits in my teenage years but i stopped attending the sacraments around that age and i guess i went back to it probably about five years later um or you know around that time
And I have to say that, you know, I'm 28 now and
COVID really, funny enough to say, strengthened my faith immensely in that period because there was a lot of time to think and reflect.
We're all in lockdown and ready to realise where the world was heading.
And although I'd already returned back to the church at that point, it sort of consolidated where we were in terms of how easy it was for everything to just stand still and what a blessing it was to have the sacraments.
And so that's when I really started to get to grips and explore my faith even further.
