In Christian tradition the "Lamb of God" is not something that is repeatedly killed off as a sacrifice for our sins, as it is in other Jewish traditions. Christians believe that the true "sacrificial lamb" (Christ) was killed but once, then raised from the dead to be taken back to heaven in triumphant manner.This story is said to represent the complete cycle of salvation, as intended by God the Father.
Therefore, once a (former) sinner has been redeemed or "saved" via God's sacrifice one might expect that he/she might do more than simply express feelings associated with the remembrance of a (former) sorrowful state and/or the willingness to repent. One might also expect an expression of JOY for the ability to MOVE FORWARD in life...
In reference to the "moving forward" part, one might think that the complete spectrum of human thoughts and emotions (not simply "serious" thoughts and emotions related to affirmation of belief, reflection, reverence, etc...) could possibly be considered as being appropriately *elemental* during the celebration of Mass.
John's point is well taken, though. I think that he is correct to insist that a feeling of unshakeable faith should *imbue* or permeate the proceedings.
But one never knows how many aspects of "the truth" are going to make it through the sieve of religious thought (or through the sieve of secular thought disguised as religious thought, for that matter).
