So we get a call at the restaurant. Our cousin Anthony is back in Brooklyn and is at the store. He had just celebrated his first Mass as a Catholic priest as I had previously spoken about before.
Well he wanted to celebrate Mass in Lee Lee's Valise. So we finished up and went back to store.
He had already set up. We had chairs set up and the wife and I and our two employees got ready to hear Mass. Just then the window washer guy showed up. I told him to take a hike and locked up so we wouldn't be disturbed.
The Mass was beautiful. I did the readings and Anthony blessed us and the store. (And all the clothes so if you buy one you will get a special blessed dress....just sayn'). Since it was once a Mafia social club back in the day it could do with a little blessing.
It was a wonderful service and a great way to end the day. With all the crazy something spiritual and good came at the end to remind us what was really important.
And he got to use his good chalice. Cool.
