And I think that there is also something epigenetic. The Western mass is inside of us. It sank into our ancestors’ hearts, and they passed that onto us. We often talk about blood as though it is something from those of previous generations. Part of this inheritance of blood is how we worship God, because it is in worship that we most engage the soul. And so, while we do not want to say that Western Rite is for Anglo-Saxon converts and that Greek liturgics is for Greeks, there is in a very real way something about the Western mass that we Anglos yearn for in a way we were unaware of. We never knew we were looking for it until we found it.
