It is a magnificent building, and the Catholic rite within its walls is essentially sacerdotal, almost esoteric. The crouching multitudes at prayer gaze wonderingly and fervently at the priestly ceremony enacted glit-teringly on the threshold of the high altar.
The majesty of the rite increases from moment to moment, until, with the elevation of the Host, man is lost in the true humility of supreme worship.
