We want the liturgy to be beautiful, attractive, inspiring, transcendent... but to what end?
The Holy Father helps us come to the correct answer.
"In all our efforts on behalf of the liturgy, the determining factor must always be our looking to God. We stand before God – he speaks to us and we speak to him. Whenever in our thinking we are only concerned about making the liturgy attractive, interesting and beautiful, the battle is already lost. Either it is Opus Dei, with God as its specific subject, or it is not."
Personally, I find it easy to forget this.
