Great article, thanks! I think that one of the reasons that it's hard to find repose and peace in the Novus Ordo is that there are so many "roles" to fill in the mass, from "bringing up the gifts" to being a lector, "extraordinary minister," etc. that for those who are of this busy-activity type of personality, it can be unsettling not to be "participating." Whereas in the TLM, on the other hand, there is no expectation of anything other than prayer and repose.
