There are two things that the faithful...do... to render our worship more authentic...

First, we can make use of “the full and rich celebration of the more ancient use of the Roman Rite,....

Second, we can... insist on the exercise of the more theocentric options ... Ordinary Form.

Catholics around the world ought to study the words of Cardinal Sarah and take courage from them.

The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught. Isaiah 29:13

Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. John 4:21-24

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Romans 12:1-2

I think that’s kind of the point. Are we really worshipping in “spirit and truth” when what we’re doing feels a lot like we’re worshipping ... the community?
