The role of the laity, after Vatican Council II, was emphasized more than it had ever been previously. They were asked to take an active part in the Most Holy Eucharist and not be mere passive observers. They were to take an active part in living their baptismal roles of priest, prophet, and king, and be true evangelists in their lives truly meeting Jesus in prayer and Sacraments and bringing Him to all they met during the day.

Were laity allowed to be involved in the mass before Vatican II?

Before Vatican II, the laity had limited involvement in the Mass, primarily participating as passive observers rather than active participants. The liturgy was conducted in Latin, and most of the responses and prayers were performed by the clergy. While laypeople could engage in certain roles, such as altar servers or lectors, their overall participation in the Mass was restricted compared to the more active role encouraged by the reforms of Vatican II. The Council emphasized greater involvement of the laity in the liturgical life of the Church.
