Liturgical Beauty - In the Usus Antiquior

The Q Continuum [A blog that I should not be linking to, since we are facing off in the 4th Annual Cannonball Catholic Awards] has posted an EXCELLENT primer or reflection on what to "look for" at Mass in the Extraordinary Form.

For those that don't know, Mass in the usus antiquior will take place at the Basilica of the National Shrine this weekend. Since a lot of Bloggers will be there, and a lot of folks who read blogs but that have never been to an EF Mass will be attending, The Q.C. prepared this primer:


As I said, I shouldn't even be linking this :), but it is a really nice and succinct way at looking at the older form of the Mass, especially for those that may not be familiar with the usus antiquior. It is also a good instructional for those of us that find ourselves sometimes distracted at Mass - it gives us something to think about in terms of why we do what we do at Mass.
