Thanks for your response, Dennis. The liturgy isn't the reason I no longer attend Mass! I've been fortunate to experience quite good liturgy (in both forms--theological ignorance enables bliss when it comes to certain instances of the TLM). I have had such spiritual experiences as you describe, though not at Mass. Still, I just love it, and when I was practicing attended every Sunday and Daily Mass when I could.

These trads who grouse that libs don't go to Mass make me laugh.
