News from the Synod

The Catholic News Agency has some interesting news regarding the Synod on the Holy Eucharist that is currently taking place in Rome.

Bishop Petru Gherghel of Iasi, Romania, asks that the Mass also be known as "The Holy and Divine Liturgy", borrowing a term from the eastern churches. This would suggest "the divine, and would invite people, to meditation, wonder, silence and adoration."

Bishop Gabriel Malzaire of Roseau, Dominica talked about the "need for greater silence before and during the celebration of Mass" and said that "pews with kneelers should be returned to the Church so that people get into the habit of showing reverence before the Blessed Sacrament."

I can only add a loud AMEN!!
