The ancient Mass reflects eternity through its beauty

Luigi Casalini, writing for Messainlatino.it, describes the beauty of the traditional Mass as a visible manifestation of immutable dogma rather than a human production or an exercise in nostalgia.

Casalini explains that the splendor of the rite serves as a mirror of the divine transition where what was visible in Christ is passed into the sacraments of the Church. He states that the liturgical beauty of the ancient Mass allows the celebrant to recede so that the eternal Priest may be revealed through the sacred rites.
