"When you approach the altar,
always keep in mind the greatness and holiness of what is being celebrated. Mass is a time
of celebration and joy. How, indeed, can we not have joy in our hearts in the presence of
Jesus? But Mass is also a serious, solemn moment, marked by gravity. May your attitude,
your silence, the dignity of your service, the beauty of the liturgy, the order and majesty of
the gestures, draw the faithful into the sacred grandeur of the Mystery." - Pope Leo XIV
