Quote of the Day

“To participate properly in the Mass it is essential that we be aware of its temporalness: of its beginning, continuation, and end. This brief portion of time enfolds eternity. Customs like that of exposing the Blessed Sacrament during the Mass can blur the sense of sacred time in the Mass. The constant figure of the host, star-like above the altar, cancels the sense of the Lord’s coming, pausing, and departing.”

—Romano Guardini, Meditations Before Mass
