A typical Charismatic Mass

I accompanied my father to attend Mass being said by a former parish priest of ours in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. As the Mass was "sponsored" by a charismatic community for which the priest has been spiritual director, it turned out to be a typical charismatic Mass complete with dancing, the singing of non-liturgical songs (The Prayer and You Raise Me Up, among others) and the use of Joel's "favorite" set of musical instruments for the celebration of the liturgy, a drum kit. Oh, my poor ears!
