Are you a Maronite NYer?

I am a Roman Catholic practicing my faith in a Maronite Catholic parish for the past 7 years. The liturgy is reverent and beautiful, the parish community like an extended family and our priests, devout. I also serve as Director for Religious Education. This parish was the answer to prayer and I am very grateful to our Lord for guiding me there.

We discovered a Maronite parish just 5 minutes from our home last December and what a blessing!!! The Liturgy is so beautiful & the musical accompaniment is always a lute and a fiddle. During Consecration I feel like I am in that room in Jerusalem...

So how does a Maronite mass differ from another order?
