Dominus Vobiscum: Notes from a massgoer's underground
. . . unless he’s turned around the looking same way you are looking, at God incarnate in the tabernacle, or up to God in heaven above in a tried and true symbolic gesture — He’s everywhere, we know — God being the most important person in the room.
But no, it’s the mass of the faithful kneeling, standing, sitting together under the same room in His house, the mass of gazing on Father at the altar and what he does, hearing his voice (as prescribed) almost constantly, requiring (demanding) our attention. It’s his time to shine, whether he or we like it or not.
And He? Gets a lot of lip service, He does. Priest keeps things moving right along. Few empty (of words) moments.
Not good, not good, not good . . .
Blithe Spirit
