When: Sunday, April 3rd, 2011.

We attended 12:00pm Mass at this Catholic-run hospital in the Brentwood area of Northeast DC. A single priest celebrated Mass with the assistance of a reader and a pianist/cantor. The congregation was about 25 or 30 strong - certainly some hospital staff but possibly some people from the neighborhood too.
The Mass followed the standard rite. The priest focused his homily on the gospel, in which Jesus performed the miracle of making a blind man see. The priest explained how Jesus cured his physical and spiritual blindness; and that, without the light that God is in our lives, we too would be blind. He reminded us to share that light with others - we are not to keep it to ourselves.
