For the first time in a long while, after work I managed to get to Mass: a simple said Novus Ordo, at St Vincent's Hospital chapel. I was agreeably surprised to find that at last the small congregation there has learnt to stand at the Orate fratres, and keep standing for the Preface.
(This had been previously what I term a worse "lazy Mass", whereat Christ's faithful do sit dumbly, forgetting that the carpet is soft and thick, their knees bendable, and irreverence inseparable from impiety.)
