Fr Hunwicke had an interesting post the other day about the position of the Sign of Peace in the Mass and the dating of that useage in the Roman Rite which can be read at Where should the PAX come?
Quite apart from the intrinsic liturgical and historical interest of what he says in that particular piece it is also good to have Fr John back on line and helping one to think about what goes on at the altar in the light of the Church's history and tradition.

It seems very wrong to be exchanging a sign of peace with each other just after Our Lord has been brought into being - body, blood, soul and divinity - on the Holy Altar.
