The Power of Unmediated Worship

When attending a concert, people often desire to hear the artist perform their classic hits exactly as they remember them. Similarly, in worship, the temptation arises to tweak or update the Mass to make it feel novel. However, true worship involves approaching God with authenticity and reverence, recognizing that it is an unmediated encounter with the true and living God. The Mass allows participants to enter into the mystery and beauty of God's presence, similar to experiencing a concert live and unfiltered.
