The Ordinary Mass Rite When Done Right Is Solemn & Beautiful

In Regards To Great Liturgy In The Ordinary Rite Of The Catholic Mass:

Liturgies with Banal Hymns(Haugen, Haas, Etcetera), do not inspire me, nor put me in a Good Mood for the rest of the week. Catholic Liturgies, where Guitars are strummed to banal hymns and Camp Songs, put me in a rather unhappy mood for the forthcoming week;

So, yesterday, I was at an Ordinary Rite Mass, derisively called the "Novus Ordo" Mass, where it was a Sheer, Reverential Performance of Solemnity and Beauty. The Kyrie was sung in Greek, all Psalms were sung in English, in Gregorian Chant Form, The Sanctus was sung in Latin as was The Agnus Dei and the Communion Antiphon was chanted in Latin. During Holy Communion, people either received in a queue or kneeling at the Altar Rail. The Tabernacle is located at the centre where it belongs.

Young Adults come to this Mass, as they seek Solemnity and Beauty. They come for the Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass. University Students are coming and are impressed with this style of Liturgy. I love coming to this style of Liturgy. Only Priests and a Deacon actually give out Holy Communion here. This Parish at 141 East 43 Street between Lexington and Third Avenue in Manhattan, called St. Agnes, is a Traditional Latin Mass Facility and it shows in their Offering of The Ordinary Rite Mass. There is actual Silence during the Reception of Holy Communion instead of a banal "Hymn" being sung, as it gives time to Post-Communion Prayer, often interrupted in many Parishes with Banal Music.

Yes, the Ordinary Rite of The Mass can be offered with this Solemnity and Beauty. It needs to be done more-often in Many Parishes. Cut out The Guitars!
