There is no awe
here before the dread majesty of God, and no respect for the Holy Table at which Christ is wrapped in linen and His most Precious Blood poured out, where heaven opens and
angels throng about us, bringing earth and heaven together... the mere sound of
singing is preferred to the meaning of the words that are
sung».
We have been awaiting the coming of glory, and now
here it is, the
angels singing Gloria in excelsis: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace (Luke 2:14).
