text: In his venerable hands. Your most holy...Listen for it at Mass, especially in the Eucharistic Prayer and the Collect. The new Roman Missal tries to butter up God, which fits with the traditionalist belief in a transactional sacrifice on the Cross, rather than a unitive vision quest that God experience suffering through Jesus. Homeless people talk that way to get a few bucks for bottle. The term is bowing and scraping. There is a difference between praying with gratitude and praying like you want something (as if God doesn’t already know what you need, which may not be what you want).
