It is a joy that the principle of ex opere operato holds regarding the Sacrifice of the Mass. I assisted at Mass in a rural Virginia parish today.
It was a Marty Haugen festival, with off beats and syncopation galore. The choir practiced the complete 20 minutes in the church prior to the liturgy (no time for praying in silence here). The priest got a good guffaw with his opening joke during the homily. And a good time was being had by all.
But it rankles when the priest does not KNEEL before the consecrated Elements. He gives a little bit of a silent bow ... Hmmmmm.
