It took place at a Baptist camp in the mountains, and although we used their chapel, it was a bare space, and we had to improvise on some of the details. \u00a0I commented to the boys who helped, \u201cI wonder what it is like when priests have to celebrate Mass in very difficult situations, like on the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n
