Like many others who have found themselves in trouble, I returned to the church of my childhood when things seemed their darkest. At our Thnaksgiving Mass this year, a day we hold as sacred as any other holy day, there was a moment in the liturgy when we stood, held hands and said the Lord's Prayer together. I held the hand of my eight-year-old, who held the hand of an eighty-year-old, and the circle moved on, hand-over-hand, unbroken among the five hundred in church. The prescence of God was indisputable, the power of faith breathtaking. In our collective gratitude, we all became, at the moment, immortal.
