After celebrating Mass facing the Lord I can report these favorable effects from the priest’s point of view:<\/p>\n 1. I don’t have to worry about where to look
\n 2. I don’t have to worry about what my face looks like
\n 3. I can weep at the beauty and wonder of it all without concern
\n 4. I can worship more freely and fully
\n 5. I feel more at one with the people of God
\n 6. I am on a journey to God with the people
\n 7. I am not the focus of attention
\n 8. The elevation of the host and the Ecce Agnus Dei have become more of a focus
\n 9. I feel more part of the great tradition
\n 10. I can’t see who’s not paying attention and feel I have to do something to get their attention back.<\/p>\n
