Thank you for your deep thinking and sharing it with all of us! You are absolutely right when it comes to one aspect, namely:
In this respect, the example of the priest-celebrant is fundamentally important: “celebrating the Eucharist well is an important form of primary catechesis on the Holy Sacrifice” (Congregation for the Clergy, Directory for the Ministry and Life of Priests , Tota Ecclesia , 49). While this is not the immediate intention of the priest, it is important for the faithful to see him prepare well by recollecting himself before celebrating the Holy Sacrifice. They should be able to witness the love and devotion that he has for the Eucharist and, following his example, they should learn to remain, for a while, in thanksgiving after Holy Communion .

Technical question.
What should be done to ensure that the cited text from someone’s post is highlighted in the same way as in you?
In a document issued in 1999 (i.e. immediately before 2000 - we know its meaning!), the Church addressed such words to priests:Blockquote I were in chargerather than leave and start shaking people’s hands after Mass, the priest would process out, turn and pray for several minutes. > Blockquote
