⚪ Meeting Christ in a Foreign Land – The Eucharist in Georgia ⚪
5 PM – A Bucket List Mass: The Latin Mass Experience This was more than just another mass—this was an unexpected and profound encounter with God. As an expat attending a Latin Mass, I had tempered my expectations due to the language barrier. I knew the Liturgy of the Word would be in Russian, while the rites would be in Latin.

We brought a Latin-English Mass guide to keep track of where we were during the service. I anticipated it would be just another typical…
