I was down in Atlantic City for the Blessing of the Sea. The weather was beautiful and the Mass was lovely. Singers and instruments were added this year, I am not really one for that in the Catholic religion, but it was nice. They also did the mass in Spanish and even a little Italian. After mass inside then everyone goes outside onto the boardwalk. The statue of the Blessed Mother is brought out and we follow the Priest down to the ocean. He goes in the boat with the lifeguards, blesses the sea then throws a pretty wreath in the ocean. At that point everyone rushes to get their containers filled with Holy Water. I filled ten this year as I know of many friends that I wish to share them with. Blessings to all of you.
