[Flame_of_Christ]

You do not think that the Father would be offended to see the disciples jumping for joy at the Crucifixion?

Look at the behavior of the Virgin Mary, St. John, and the precious Magdalene…Were they clapping their hands shouting “Praise God, sin is forgiven!” The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is just that: The Holy Sacrifice. If you were present at the Crucifixion, I highly doubt that you’d be wanting to sing the joyful-happy songs.

They do have a place, and there is nothing wrong with praising God with those songs, I personally enjoy a lot of them; however, many are not *appropriate *for the **Sacrifice **of the Mass, praiseworthy though they may be.

Thanks for this conversation. I agree that nobody was clapping as Jesus was crucified. but let me tell you something, the mass has many parts.

we sing alleluia. That is not sorowful.

we sing glory and praise ! that is also not a mournful part either.

we also welcome the celebrant. We welcome him with joy. The mass is something we are so thankful for and we want to show our thanks to the Lord.

now when the consecration is going on though, nobody is claiming tha tit is all of a sudden time for more alleluias or glory and praise songs. No it is time to be united with our Lord in His giving of Himself upon the cross.

And then, we rise with Him to new life. that is glorious.

See this is a problem. People assume that the mass is all sorrowful mysteries when it never has been, nor should be. The mass is rich with life.
