And so again, open the Missal, read the minute directions as to the celebra- tion of Mass ; what is the fit disposition under which the Priest prepares for it, how he is to arrange his every action, movement, gesture, accent, during the course of it, and what is to be done in case of a variety of supposable accidents. What a mockery would all this be, if the rite meant nothing ! But if it be a fact that God the Son is there offered up in human flesh and blood by the hands of man, why 219 it is ...plain that no anxious and elaborate rite is equal to the depth of the overwhelming thoughts which are borne in upon the mind. Thus the usages and ordinances of the Church do not exist for their own sake ; they do not stand of themselves ; they are not sufficient for themselves ; they do not fight against the State their own battle; they are not appointed as ultimate ends ; but they are dependent on an inward substance ; they protect a mystery ; they defend a dogma ; they represent an idea ; they preach good tidings ; they are the channels of grace.
