O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again!

-from the 1962 Roman Catholic Daily Missal

From all time, the Canon has been recited silently. The congregation present can contribute nothing to the sacrificial act itself; the people are present before a mystery which it is for the consecrated priest alone to accomplish. The Priest has entered alone into the Holy of Holies to pray and offer sacrifice for the whole Church.
