TURN TOWARDS THE LORD（主に向かって）
一昨日は聖モニカ、昨日は聖アウグスティヌス、今日は洗礼者聖ヨハネ殉教記念日です。聖アウグスティヌスがあげたごミサと同じように「TURN TOWARDS THE LORD」に戻りましょう。司祭が会衆の方を向くのはやはりおかしいと思います。と、私が言ってもFr.Zが言っても何も変わらないのはわかっていますが、それでも言わなければなりません。
FrZ.は言います。
“[A] common turning to the east during the Eucharistic Prayer remains essential. This is not a case of something accidental, but of what is essential. Looking at the priest has no importance. What matters is looking together at the Lord. It is not now a question of dialogue but of common worship, of setting off toward the One who is to come. What corresponds with the reality of what is happening is not the closed circle but the common movement forward, expressed in a common direction for prayer.”
私も同感です！！
