I feel very strongly that Mass should include a time for Spirit-filled praise by the entire congregation. Loud chanting may not be feasible but we can scream from our hearts, invoking the Spirit of truth to anoint the parish, the sick, the wayward, the elderly, the children. This IS the church, the joyful hostages of grace, who keep drawing from the well of Christ’s love.
