There's a particular kind of longing that hits you when you're sitting in Toronto or London or Sydney, watching your kids grow up speaking perfect English, and realising they have absolutely no idea what their grandparents are saying during a prayer. No idea why the priest chants what he chants. No idea that the words in that chant are literally thousands of years old.
