THERE WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE MORE THAN 5000 AS I DID NOT PUT MY NAME DOWN, NOR DID A NUMBER OF THOSE THAT WERE AROUND ME. THE SOUND OF THE AVE AS WE CAME ALONG HUNTER STREET, BEING NARROW WAS SKIN TINGLING. THE WOMAN NEXT TO ME WAS CRYING FOR THE SHEER BEAUTY OF IT. IT WAS ALSO OUR LADY'S DAY AS THE SKY WAS "MARY" BLUE AND THEREFORE THE AVE AFTER EACH DECADE OF THE LUMINOUS MYSTERIES EVEN MORE BREATHTAKING. THANBK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU ESPECIALLY CARDINAL PELL FOR ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN.
