The participation in the Traditional Latin Mass is supposed to be far deeper than mere singing or vocal prayer; it is supposed to be a mystical union in prayer with the priest towards Christ. This is why Pope St. Pius X asked that the faithful "pray the Mass." (Incidentally, praying the Rosary during Mass is not encouraged by the Church.) Some souls who don't say a word during Mass may be participating more fully and more spiritually than those who sing every hymn "with great gusto." It's impossible to judge from mere external observation.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05205862627682998184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-54823382547256223652007-11-18T12:21:00.000-05:002007-11-18T12:21:00.000-05:00I think the original intention of the council was ...I think the original intention of the council was to encourage people to pray the Mass, and to enter more deeply into it, united with their brothers and sisters in Christ. The Vatican Council documents say nothing about getting rid of Latin, merely introducing the use of vernacular to parts of the Mass.elena maria vidalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129629173535139807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-2500754588860344412007-11-18T12:18:00.000-05:002007-11-18T12:18:00.000-05:00It all comes full circle.

It seemed like half the congregation participated using their missal which had one page in Latin and the other page in English, but many just prayed the rosary and never looked at the missal. I found this fascinating compared to the Protestant church which I attended where the Congregation fully participated in all the prayers and sang all the hymns with great gusto. This is just an observation, not a criticism. I am now a Catholic and could never conceive of returning to a Protestant church.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
