I went to a Mass this evening (because I couldn't haul myself out of bed for the 6:30 this morning) where the priest never raised the chalice during the consecration. I don't look to pick on priests or the Mass but it's really quite simple - say the words, and make the appropriate gestures and save the improv for some other time!TLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699746979019393620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-43597611822541996762011-07-13T15:32:40.656-05:002011-07-13T15:32:40.656-05:00I thought the same things after reading about the ...I thought the same things after reading about the Boston 'gay' Mass - but even if the NO Mass was said as it should be - as well as ad orientum most of this novelty stuff wouldn't have a place.

The priest should be relaxed, but not so much so that he cannot follow the guidelines. Then again, he should not be so up tight that he makes the Mass sound robotic. excellent post!<br /><br />God BlessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-47099533970517829842011-07-13T08:47:22.239-05:002011-07-13T08:47:22.239-05:00I find myself distracted at some N.O. masses for t...I find myself distracted at some N.O. masses for those same reasons.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423794317423373245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-52782767297383962652011-07-12T07:46:47.338-05:002011-07-12T07:46:47.338-05:00Uh oh! sigh.
