This is a liturgical rarity: the typical liturgical prayer is addressed to the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit. To have those prayers before Communion all addressed to Jesus directly is another way that the Church confesses her Eucharistic faith, and one that we can surely begin to help others notice better than I did!!!Sister Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032465016160490375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950714.post-42507079547702730192011-05-04T00:13:33.196-05:002011-05-04T00:13:33.196-05:00So much the better that we publicly acknowledge ou...So much the better that we publicly acknowledge our sinfulness multiple times - maybe repetition will sink in. Ditto for repeating "I believe". However, that is only part of the equation. What effect will the "new" Roman Missal (actually a reintroduction of the Missal's original language) have, in the words of Blessed John Paul, in "rekindling Eucharistic amazement"? What language can pierce our hearts with the realization that Jesus Himself is on the altar at every Holy Mass?leslieannerabbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17085785274151949267noreply@blogger.com
