Unfortunately this change had a number of unforeseen and largely negative effects. First<\/strong> of all, it was a serious rupture with the Church\u2019s ancient tradition. Secondly<\/strong>, it can give the appearance that the priest and the people were engaged in a conversation about God, rather than the worship of God. Thirdly, it places an inordinate importance on the personality of the celebrant by placing him on a kind of liturgical stage.<\/p>\n

Because the Mass is so necessary and fundamental to our Catholic experience, the liturgy is a constant topic in our conversation. That is why when we get together, we so often reflect upon the prayers and readings, discuss the homily, and \u2013 likely as not \u2013 argue about the music. The critical element in these conversations is an understanding that we Catholics worship the way we do because of what the Mass is: Christ\u2019s sacrifice, offered under the sacramental signs of bread and wine.<\/p>\n

If our conversation about the Mass is going to \u201cmake any sense,\u201d then we have to grasp this essential truth<\/strong>: At Mass, Christ joins us to Himself as He offers Himself in sacrifice to the Father for the world\u2019s redemption. We can offer ourselves like this in Him because we have become members of His Body by Baptism.<\/p>\n

We also want to remember that all of the faithful offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice as members of Christ\u2019s body. It\u2019s incorrect to think that only the priest offers Mass. All the faithful share in the offering, even though the priest has a unique role. He stands \u201cin the person of Christ,\u201d the historic Head of the Mystical Body, so that, at Mass, it is the whole body of Christ \u2013 Head and members together that make the offering. <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
