Repost from : Millennial Catholics
"In eucharistic celebrations deacons and non-ordained members of the faithful may not pronounce prayers — e.g. especially the eucharistic prayer, with its concluding doxology — or any other parts of the liturgy reserved to the celebrant priest. Neither may deacons or non-ordained members of the faithful use gestures or actions which are proper to the same priest celebrant. It is a grave abuse for any member of the non-ordained faithful to "quasi preside" at the Mass while leaving only that minimal participation to the priest which is necessary to secure validity"
(Instruction On Certain Questions Regarding the Collaboration of the Non-Ordained Faithful in the Sacred Ministry of Priests, August 15, 1997, Art. 6 § 2)

ABOUT THE ORANS POSTURE
Noong 1997, naglabas ang Pontifical Council for the Laity ng mga panuto or Instruction regarding sa kilos o gawi ng mga mananampalataya (lay faithful) sa Misa.
Nasasaad sa Article 6, paragraph 2 na hindi natin maaring gayahin ang pari sa mga kilos o gawi na pang pari lang at nasasaad sa Misal.

Sa General Instruction of the Roman Missal, o Pangkalahatang Tagubilin Para sa Pagmimisa Ayon sa Roma, hindi maaring baguhin ng Obispo ang mga kilos o gawi ng tao (GIRM no. 387).
Subalit, pananagutan ng Obispo na maging maayos at solemne ang Liturhiya sa kaniyang kawan, at sumusunod sa alituntunin na nauukol sa mga utos sa Liturhiya
Sapagkat ayon sa inilabas na sulat ng Congregation for the Clergy noong 2004:
"Pietas... brings one immediately to that high sense of nobility and religiosity, of recognition and respect for the Sacred which must characterise the exercise of the Munus Sanctificandi...Faithfulness is determined both by the respect given to the forms established by the Church, by which the mysteries are to be celebrated, forms that are objective and universal, never arbitrary or tailored according to local or personal emotive exigencies, and by the “constancy” with which they are celebrated.
The Liturgy, which is above all a divine act, does not live by “creative subjectivity” but by “faithful repetition” which never burdens us because it is the sign, in space and time, of the faithfulness of God himself. True creativity is really that of the heart which is always renewed because it is in love." (Letter to the Priests, 2004)
Kapag iginalang natin ang Liturhiya, iginagalang din natin ang Inang Simbahan bilang tagapag-ingat ng yaman na ito. Naitutulad natin ang mga nasa Langit sa walang sawa na paulit ulit na papuri, "Santo, Santo, Santo..."
