Ranjith on Pope Benedict’s plan with the liturgy

For the liturgy, "through which the work of our redemption is accomplished," (1) most of all in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, is the outstanding means whereby the faithful may express in their lives, and manifest to others, the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

Yeah, great.. making the Mass 'accessible' for all, has ended up making an objective of appealing to the lowest common denominator.. where as the liturgy obviously should aspire to highest, the most individually empyreal and transcendant of numerators.

I have to say, the former has produced a mob mentality in the Novus Ordo... and has had widest deliterious effects on the whole Church.

The mass should aspire us to greatness.
