New Zealand<\/a>, that is).<\/p>\nComments on how it went, second time around?<\/p>\n
I’m especially interested in the declamation of the celebrant’s proper prayers. At first I thought these would have to be proclaimed slowly and carefully, with pauses at the punctuation to help make clear(er) the convoluted syntax. But now I wonder if that doesn’t just call more attention to the syntax, which is the hardest part in this whole project. Is it better to keep it moving and not break it up? Will worshipers gradually learn to listen in a new way, grasping various words and phrases but not necessarily catching the whole argument? I was put onto this line of thinking by a fellow monk’s comment that it sounds better not to pause at the comma they put after “that.” Here’s an example, from today’s Prayer after Communion – see the third line.<\/p>\n
Replenished by the food of spiritual nourishment,
\nwe humbly beseech you, O Lord,
\nthat, through our partaking in this mystery,
\nyou may teach us to judge wisely the things of earth
\nand hold firm to the things of heaven.
\nThrough Christ our Lord.<\/p>\n
How did this and such prayers go?<\/p>\n
I’m also interested (for various reasons) in the missal chants. Were they used where you worshiped? How did they work? I’m really interested in the new Preface tone. I think it’s one of the gems of the missal – and I speak as an objective, neutral observer. I’m very fond of the lilt of it. I dearly hope priests don’t find it too difficult or complicated or Baroque (or whatever unfortunate label could stick). If the Preface was sung, tell us how it went.<\/p>\n
Be nice, everyone. But do be honest.<\/p>\n
