…is to catechize his
flock on ad orientem worship and then
follow Cardinal Sarah’s direction by starting in Advent to celebrate Mass
facing the Lord. This decision will
orient our worship and our lives toward man’s telos which is union with God.
Turning toward the Lord
together is not a matter of style, preference, scrupulosity or facultative
liturgical reform. It is the most important liturgical restoration we
could undertake. Especially in a time when the world has become unmoored
from God’s Law, we need to show the world how to turn to God and seek His face
once again. In every age, this orientation is our Christian way of
life. This orientation begins in the liturgy, which flows from our faith
and in turn informs our life decisions. Lex credendi, orandi, vivendi.
We need to do
this. As much as we need to eat, sleep, breathe and love those in our
care, we need to do this.
