Episode 9 - Active Participation

The Church weaves the notion of active participation, together with full and conscious into her understanding. We should be engaged fully, conscious of what we are doing, aware of the liturgy’s beauty and richness. This participation is first and foremost interior. Like Christ, we offer ourselves from our hearts, completely to the Father. Only then can our participation be full.

Does this accuse all past attendance of the Mass as inactive, disengaged, unaware? What were people doing? Please describe it with actual examples so we can understand the contrast better.

this is a bit vague to be honest, St Pope Pius X did not mean participation in the sense of the laity doing and saying things. The lady the priest mentioned at the beginning was 100% right.

It seems to me this whole Vatican ll thing, got lost in translation. So, all these people who are fighting over Vatican ll, are missing the point that this all stems from Pope Pius X. We are doing what he originally wanted us to do. To consciously and actively participate in the Holy Mass.
