Resurrexi Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Can anyone tell me where the phrase "noble simplicity" in reference to the Liturgy comes from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The words come from the Vatican II document [i]Sacrosanctum Concilium[/i] (no. 34): [size=3][quote]The rites should be distinguished by a noble simplicity; they should be short, clear, and unencumbered by useless repetitions; they should be within the people's powers of comprehension, and normally should not require much explanation.[/quote][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
