At the Missa pro eligendo, I noticed that Ratzinger's hands alone were properly folded palm-to-palm as he walked in procession. This is not mere pietism; this is part of what it means to love God with your whole body, since the joined hands are a symbol of perfect accord. I read it's the loathed Marini who popularised the sloppy, meaningless clasped hands posture (from the symbolic POV, they might as well have been walking with their hands in their pockets). I predict this bad habit will be less evident soon.
One of the transitional deacons I assist as MC at solemn high (trad) Mass has asked me to MC at his first Mass after his ordination in June. It'll be NO and mostly in English, because he just doesn't have the training or confidence to proceed in Latin. But I have high hopes for him, and yesterday ordered a Latin missal as a gift.
I see where EWTN's going to re-air B16's first papal mass tonight. I'm looking forward to it.
One thing to beware of when watching the Mass - the music has some rather dissonant moments. Hopefully the Holy Father will take some action in that direction as well.
Have you seen the "new" 1962 Missal from Angelus Press? I got my copy last week, and it is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in print. Beautifully produced, unbelievably thorough, ALL of the Propers in English AND Latin, literally hundreds of prayers, all of the Traditonal Sacraments, wonderful explanatory notes. Anyone who assists at Latin Mass, or has ever thought of doing so, should order a copy immediately. EVERY Catholic should have a copy. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
And no, I am not shilling for the SSPX.;-)
