If at Mass, we are really witnessing the re-presentation, and the reality of the one Sacrifice of Christ, meaning we're there at Calvary at the moment of Consecration, that does that mean for us if we're not adequately prepared to see such a sight?? To talk in Mass, or to read a book, or listen to the radio or something during Mass then would be like doing those things while witnessing an execution. It'd be like thinking about that hot girl two pews up, when someone's being put to death. It'd be like worrying about what to make for dinner when someone's being killed in front of our very eyes. And keep in mind, this death is undeserved and it is for us! How could I have been so disrespectful/irreverent/unappreciating/blind to not have known that the God of the Universe was being killed by His creation so that I may live?
