I consider it my duty, therefore to appeal
urgently that the liturgical norms for the celebration of the Eucharist be
observed with great fidelity…Liturgy is never anyone’s private property, be it
of the celebrant or of the community in which the mysteries are celebrated…Our
time, too calls for a renewed awareness and appreciation of liturgical norms as
a reflection of, and a witness to, the one universal Church made present in
every celebration of the Eucharist.
Priests who faithfully celebrate Mass according to the liturgical norms,
and communities which conform to those norms, quietly but eloquently
demonstrate their love for the Church
(From Encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia by Saint John Paul II
