I didn’t understand a word of it but it was linguistically beautiful.

Really? You didn't know what "Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth" meant?

Or "Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis"?

Fire your cathechist!

Seriously, I really don't understand why so many of our protestant brethren (and some Catholics) think one has to be Latin scholar (or be fluent) in order to understand what is happening when in the liturgy.

LOL — OK, I understood a FEW words. Sanctus, dominus, Dei/Deus and a few more.

“Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus” was way cooler than “Holy, Holy, Holy.”
