I am throwing out this question to see if this is happening elsewhere and if it is allowed.
Last year, after some changes took place our music director has said that until the priest is done pouring the Precious Blood into the chalices and he is ready to say “This is the Lamb, who takes away our sins…” we are to continue singing over and over “Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.” This now goes on 4 to 5 times before we say “Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world, GRANT us peace.”
I thought that saying it only 3 times has a special meaning. ie: …have mercy on us, …have mercy on us, …grant us peace. Is this acceptable or just another way for them to find a loophole to minimalize the mass? It is very frustrating, since it just doesn’t feel right.
