WDTPRS: The Holy Father’s Vigil Sermon - theological starting points for liturgy, ad orientem worship

I listened to the Homily of His Holiness Pope Benedict at the Chrism Mass and I was enthralled by his thoughts. He had many "nuggets" for thought in his reflection. He ended by mentioning this sentence, "In the early Church there was a custom whereby the Bishop or the priest, after the homily, would cry out to the faithful: "Conversi ad Dominum" – turn now towards the Lord.

As many of you know, this subject of "ad orientem" worship has been discussed fairly often by Father John Zuhlsdorf of "What Does the Prayer Really Say?" He has an analysis of the Holy Father's Homily and it is a MUST read.
