Michael Davies gir mange eksempler p\u00e5 klovnemesser o.l. i sin bok ‘Pope Paul’s New Mass’, men innr\u00f8mmer ogs\u00e5 at disse jo bryter med de liturgiske reglene. Det er ogs\u00e5 klart for alle at grove brudd p\u00e5 liturgiske regler ikke lenger skjer p\u00e5 langt n\u00e6r s\u00e5 ofte n\u00e5 som p\u00e5 70-tallet. Det jeg syns er viktigere i Davies’ bok, er der han beskriver hvordan de moderne liturgene beskriver hvordan prestene m\u00e5 begynne \u00e5 feire messen p\u00e5 en annen m\u00e5te; at fokus i mye st\u00f8rre grad m\u00e5 v\u00e6re p\u00e5 menneskene som er til stede i messen (enn p\u00e5 Gud), og at dette i praksis betyr at det m\u00e5 v\u00e6re en kontinuerlig kontakt mellom presten og messedeltakerne gjennom aboslutt hele messen:<\/p>\n
Father Hovda considers the facial expression of the celebrant to be crucial to a successful celebration-which virtually restricts «success» to good-looking extroverted presiders.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should not be necessary to say that absent-mindcdness or a far-away look in or on the presider are death to a worship assembly. It should not be, but it is … Good presidency mcans an effort to solicit the attention of each person in the assembly with one’s eyes, as well as with one’s general demeanor. To attend to anything else – even the book or the bread and wine – without attending to the persons present is the opposite of the style we seek.<\/p>\n
One need not and one should not devour the congregation with one’s eyes. But there must be a constant exchange of interested, compassionate, encouraging looks<\/strong>, not only during reading and homily but also during song and prayer. The heavenward gaze (although there is nothing wrong with an occasional glance upwards if it fulfils a need) belongs to a view of the universe no longer with us. Our assembly gathers, conscious of the unseen and transcendent. But with our eyes we see, and what we see should be nothing less important than the people. Our brothers and sisters are the first sign of Christ’s presence, and the most important ones. \u201c \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
The final paragraph of Father Hovda’s article makes explicit his belief that the Catholic concept of a cultic (sacrificing) priesthood has been replaced by that of a Protestant ministry: \u201cThese are, I think, important elements of the style and presence required of a good presider. Thoughtful readers will add others. Together we have to appreciate what Gregory Baum called the transition from a «cultic priesthood» to a «ministerial priesthood.» No longer «magical» persons, we are servants now, who must earn attention, respect, and cooperation. Our earning power is what we are talking about when we discuss style and presence. There is great satisfaction to be found in today’s ministry by men who are interested in being not stars but good servants.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
