An interesting post from Catholic Analysis here, which includes an interesting comment from a Lutheran background. It is interesting that, in his graphic showing the versus populum celebration, the lifted Eucharist obscures the face of the priest.
I have already posted on this theme, and received interesting comments on that earlier post. Again, if you read my earlier post, you will see that I was following up a post at Catholic Analysis.
In terms of the direction of prayer, there is a kind of dialogue between seeing it as a facing towards the Lord (in the sense of His second coming "..until he comes again") and in seeing it as an offering to the Father (in which case an upward orientation - expressed in the lifting of the Eucharistic species at the Consecration - may have a certain priority).
