But remember, the priest is in persona Christi. Hence when he speaks it is really the Lord Jesus who speaks, making use of the voice of the priest.

We do this at least every Sunday. Chanted. Lutheran Church. It is true that the Office places Christ Jesus before His people. TV is no substitute for being present in the local parish.

Prefaces??!!

No. Twenty minutes of sermon - on a weekday, and a, ‘this is the Lamb of God’ for consecration. Same on Sunday followed by ten minutes of prepping the extraordinary ministers then ten minutes of announcements with applause. Jokes

I go for Eucharist. The consecration is nothing in the contemporary mass

[Kolokotronis]

Pretty in Latin...sublime in Greek (whence you folks got it)! "Priest: Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Πατρὸς καὶ ἡ κοινωνία τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος εἴη μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν. People: Καὶ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου. Priest: Ἄνω σχῶμεν τὰς καρδίας. People: Ἔχομεν πρὸς τὸν Κύριον. Priest: Εὐχαριστήσωμεν τῷ Κυρίῳ. People: Ἄξιον καὶ δίκαιον."
