WDTPRS: TLM Workshop ... for lay people

Fr. Zuhlsdorf has a wonderful post on a workshop on the TLM for lay people. Here is just one paragraph of his opening comments before showing the email from the St. John Cantius Parish:

True active participation, as the Church understands it, is more along the lines of active receptivity, uniting our heart, mind and will to the words and gestures in the sacred Action of the Mass. Christ is the true Actor in the liturgy. Sometimes He uses our voices and gestures. At other times we participate in his words and gestures through the priest and sacred ministers, always being open to what Christ is offering. In this way we are actively receptive. There is nothing passive about listening and watching intently, in union what what is being said, sung and enacted.
Marvelous must read!
