I spent a delightful evening with my sister, Mary Eileen on Friday. We ate a "hipster" restaurant on Mission Street called "Foreign Cinema". The food was outstanding and the restaurant shows films on the back wall of the outside eating area. I am totally impressed!
Saturday afternoon was spent - what else - shopping! The area is - what else - way cool - adjacent to the ball park. We had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant that specializes in various combinations of grilled cheese called The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen.
When I walked to Mass at Saint Ignatius, [located on the campus of USF] I heard fog horns. The sky above me was a brilliant blue - yet when I reached the top of "Lone Mountain" I saw fog streaming hurriedly through the Golden Gate enveloping the coastal areas in its embrace. The sonorous bellows of the horns was a reminder that we often can be lost in a personal fog while others move in sunlight. A good meditation prior to attending Mass. The church of Saint Ignatius resembles many of the churches in Europe - Romanesque architecture with small altars along the sides. The main altar sits below a dome high above the sacristy with a Rosetta atop it. ( I will attach some photos) The choir was incredible and the liturgy was quite "high church". The homily was brilliant.
I am off to celebrate Father's Day with my sister and her husband. My two Jesuit companions will join us... "Fathers on Father's Day"!
