“God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” are superior to anything playing on the radio these days. Don’t @ me.

This might sound silly but I want to start going to Mass, I've only ever been to protestant church services before. I have no idea what to expect or do or wear and I've watched a few YouTube videos but for whatever reason I'm still anxious.
I just have nasty social anxiety and I don't want to stand out as a total newbie who doesn't know what they are doing. Any advice and prayers would be appreciated

Listen here:
Gregorian chant - Deum verum
Medieval music feat. Hildegard of Bingen
Hymnody - All People That on Earth Do Dwell (Tune: Old Hundredth)
Transitional - We Are Many Parts (Marty Haugen)
Contemporary - Here I Am to Worship (performed by Chris Tomlin)
Had a bit of a spat with my parish priest about this recently, so I'm taking it to Tumblr to see what all you think.
Bonus points if you explain why that's your favorite type of music in the tags or reblogs.

went to catholic mass for the first time today as a jewish woman.
as the incense burned my nose and eyes, i couldn’t help but think of my own great grandpa (Z”L).
the man who fled his polish sztetl so as not to become another victim of a russian pogrom.
the man who left everything he had grown up with to survive in a world that deemed he shouldn’t.
the man who had to live with the fact that every family member he had left behind fell victim to the shoah.
the man who probably felt the same way i did today the first time he went to a catholic mass.
the man whose jewish identity became nothing more than a memory.
as i looked up to the figure of jesus nailed to the cross, i couldn’t help but think about how this religion of love and kindness could also be the religion of the people who committed the most heinous acts the world had ever seen on his people. my people.
i sat on the wooden pews for the entire mass, even as the women around me glared at my magen david. leaving during services is too rude, my catholic friend tells me.
my friend bows her head and lifts her arms, the words of the lord’s prayer on her lips.
my mind finds itself once again on my great grandpa (Z”L). i wonder if the words of the shema ever crossed his lips the way the lord’s prayer crosses hers.

Oh nothing to see here, it’s just me the divorced woman with hand tattoos going to the nearest Catholic Church which happened to be Sedevacantist
Also there’s a parish called St. Joan of Arc Roman Catholic Church near so obviously it’s meant to be 😌

If someone has a super low alcohol tolerance, could one hypothetically get drunk off of sacramental wine?
Catholics pls answer

Sitting on cold pews
The smell of burning candles
Crunchy leaves leading up the double doors
Harmonious singing of strangers
An old prayer book in your pocket
The smile of your neighbor
Eyes closed during prayer
A child's laughter
Gentle rain outside stained glass windows
Quiet whispers to God for Salvation
The Holy Spirit's presence

The husband works on Christmas Eve so I might as well go to the Christmas Vigil Mass. Maybe I'll even meet some new people and make some new friends.
