I have to say that I didn't really feel a part of this Mass. The priest took so many liberties with the Liturgy that I was dismayed by it.

me too.... Father had a long Christmas homily. It was good though.

what kind of liberties?

Good homily, but I don't know how to explain the rest. The Liturgy of the Eucharist was very free flowing.

It didn't adhere very closely to any of the Eucharistic Prayers. Sort of ad lib'd if you know what I mean.
