Liturgical celebration: objective, subjective or both?

[Tiwala]

“Catholic worship has strongly objective lines: they are expressed in its form. Nothing subjective or arbitrary, no personal enthusiasm, momentary ecstasy or expressionism are to mark it; what it seeks are clarity beyond the limits of any single person, roots for a content that is divine and everlasting, a sober peaceful and measured expression of what belongs to it, in forms which give direction to the over-flow of thought and emotion, which put nature and passion within its bonds” (Odo Casel, Mystery of Christian Worship).
“The priest, therefore, in planning the celebration of Mass, should have in mind the common spiritual good of the people of God, rather than his own inclinations” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, no. 352).
How can be a liturgical celebration become a delicate balancing act between the objectivity and the subjectivity of rituals?

What “subjectivity” do you perceive in the Mass?

Liturgy is a corporate act – a work of the people. The objective is not dominated by the subjective, as stated: “forms which give direction to the over-flow of thought and emotion, which put nature and passion within its bonds”.
