The booklet being prepared by the Vatican to tell priests how to celebrate Mass well will discourage “showmanship” by the celebrant and novelties introduced to make the liturgy “entertaining” to the people.
The prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, Cardinal Antonio Canizares, said the guidelines will help priests to “celebrate well and to participate well”.
He said the liturgy is God’s gift to the Church rather than the invention of individuals. “God wants to be adored in a concrete way and it’s not up to us to change it.”
