1.Appreciating theRevised Mass TextsThe 3rd EDITION OFTHE ROMAN MISSAL

2. What is the Roman Missal?It is the Sacred book that the priestuses at Mass. This contains instructions on what to do how to do it the prayers to be said 3.

The New Text of the Roman Missal It is not a New Mass we are not returning to the Old Mass, this is simply a new translation of theRoman Missal. 5. Process of TranslationSecond Vatican Council (1962 1965)Missal was extensively revisedThe way we celebrate the Mass Language to be used 6. Process of Translation 1970 - The first Latin edition of this newMissal came out translated from Latin into vernacular /languages 1974 - the first English version came out 1975 - we had a second edition in Latin 1985 - a decade later we had the Missal (orsacramentary) that we use now: the 1985English edition. 7. Process of TranslationAlmost immediately, those incharge of the translationprocess knew that it could beimproved so they began aprocess of revisiting the textsand re-translating them as wellas studying the structure of theMass and suggesting ways that it,too, could be adjusted. 8. Process of Translation So thats the first reason why we are getting a newMissal: even from the start, the intention was that thefirst translations were temporary. The Church had never before undertaken such anextensive process of translation and Church leadersknew that they were learning as they went along andthat the texts could be improved. Over the forty years after the Council, translatorshave learned a great deal about how liturgicallanguage works and what different approaches totranslation have to offer. 9. While they finished their draft in 1998, this newversion was never approved because the rules fortranslation had changed. These and the original translations used aprinciple called dynamic equivalence, but thenew translation is being done according to theprinciple of formal correspondence. Basically, the new translations will follow the Latinwords and syntax (sentence structure) moreclosely, though not slavishly as some havesuggested. As a result, what we will hear will sound moreformal or poetic. 10. Three Reasons for a New Translation ofthe Roman Missal The first translations were done quickly and, even at that time, considered to be temporary The approach to translation changed from dynamic equivalence (which focuses on the wider meaning instead of on the specific words and style used in the original) to a more literal formal correspondence A third edition of the Missal was promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 2000 11. Why Formal Correspondence instead ofDynamic Equivalence? The connections between Scriptures and the textsthat we use at Mass are made clearer. Time-honored, traditional phrasingwhich otherlanguage groups have used all alongis recovered. The Churchs faith is given clearer expression. English versions of liturgical texts are used by anumber of small language groups to guide their owntranslations; therefore, the English needs to be asprecise and as close to the original as possible. 12. The new translation is an intensiveprocess involving hundreds of individualsand extensive consultation. 13. How The Translation Was Done1. The original Latin text is sent to the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL)- is made up of a bishop from each of 11 English-speaking episcopal conferences.2. While the commission itself is made up of these eleven bishops, they had the ICEL Secretariat with liturgical experts from around the world.3. The ICEL staff and bishops work together to produce a first draft (Green Book), which is then sent to English-speaking bishops around the world for review. 14. How The Translation Was Done4. ICEL then takes all the feedback they receive and produce a second draft (Gray Book), which is again sent to the English-speaking Episcopal conferences for review and approval.5. Once each English-speaking bishops conference approves the texts, they are sent to the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments (CDWDS) in Rome for final approval (known as the recognitio). 15. The Eleven English-SpeakingBishops Conferences of ICEL USA Scotland Philippines Canada South Africa India England/Wales Australia Pakistan Ireland New Zealand 16. As you can see, this is an extensive and time-consuming process. Liturgical, linguistic,theological, and pastoral expertslay andordainedare consulted all along the way,from the level of the local bishop and his staff,to national conferences, and up to the level ofICEL and the CDWDS.The new Missal is, indeed, the work of theChurch. 17. Gains with theNew Translation of the Roman Missal Connections to Scripture are clearer The style will be more formal, a reminder that weare addressing God The vocabulary will be more varied, poetic, &concrete The texts are made to be sung The language is more inclusive The translation is more theologically rich A better linguistic connection to other Catholicsaround the world A time for catechesis and liturgical renewal 18. Let us then Welcome the NewText of the Roman Missal withjoyful gratitude. 19. The Introductory RitesGreeting Penitential Rite Gloria 20.

The Greeting1. Sign of our unity across space Common response with Catholics around the world. Vatican II - almost all of the major language groups translated the response to include the word spiritu; for example, in Spanish: Y con t espritu.2. Sign of our unity across time Ancient in origin It has long been used in both Eastern and Western liturgies and is found in the Apostolic Tradition (attributed to St. Hippolytus, c. AD 215).3. Clearer Connection to Scripture The response is based on Galatians 6:18 and 2 Timothy4:22. 25.

Liturgy of the Word Before the Gospel is read Priest: The Lord be with you People: And with your spirit prepares us to listen to God as He speaks to usand proclaims the Gospel.

IIMother Church earnestly desires that all thefaithful should be led to that fully conscious, andactive participation in liturgical celebrationswhich is demanded by the very nature of theliturgy. Such participation by the Christian peopleas a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holynation, a redeemed people (1 Pet. 2:9; cf. 2:4-5),is their right and duty by reason of theirbaptism. (SC 14) 51.

Probably the change that has received the mostattention has been the translation of the Latinphrase, pro multis.Currently, we hear in the Eucharistic Prayers, thatChrists blood will be shed for you and for all sothat sins may be forgiven.The new translation will read: which will bepoured out for you and for many, for theforgiveness of sins. 56. It does not mean that Christ did not die foreveryone.The Scriptures (for example, John 11:52; 2 Corinthians5:14-15; Titus 2:11; 1 John 2:2) and the dogmaticteaching of the Church (Catechism 624, 629) makeit clear that Christ died for everyone (not just formany).In addition, in our Eucharistic Prayers, we pray thatall the dead (not just Catholics and other Christians)would enjoy eternal life. 57. 4 Reasons Why We Now Use FORMANY1) Scriptural reasons: The words in ourEucharistic Prayer come from the Gospels ofMatthew 26:28 and Mark 14:24; the Greek formany is used there and connects to Isaiah53:11-12.2) Historical reasons: The Roman Rite hasalways said pro multis (for many) and not proomnibus (for all) at this point in the Mass. 58. 3) Ecumenical reasons: The EucharisticPrayers of the Eastern Churches all have formany in their respective languages.4) Theological reasons: As Cardinal FrancisArinze, former prefect of the Congregation forDivine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments,stated in his letter to Presidents of Conferencesof Bishops (Oct. 17, 2006): 59. The expression for many, while remainingopen to the inclusion of each human person, isreflective also of the fact that this salvation isnot brought about in some mechanistic way,without ones own willing or participation;rather,the believer is invited to accept in faith the giftthat is being offered and to receive thesupernatural life that is given to those whoparticipate in this mystery, living it out in theirlives as well so as to be numbered among themany to whom the text refers. 60. In other words, while salvation is offered to all,not all will accept Gods gift.Respecting human free will means that we need toaccept the possibility that some might reject God. 61. Mysterium fideiPresent TextNew TextPRIEST:PRIEST: Let us proclaim the The mystery of faith.mystery of faith.The new translation shows that this is a dialogue:the priest says (The mystery of faith) andeveryone responds in one of the three ways. 62. Mysterium fideiThe Latin version of the Missal containsThree Responses.1)Present TextNew TextPEOPLE: PEOPLE:Dying you destroyed We proclaim your Death,our death, rising you O Lord, and profess yourrestored our life.

Mysterium fideiThe new translations of the acclamationshighlight the fact that:1. we are addressing Christ2. and we can easily grasp the connections to the Scriptures.The first and second acclamations are both basedon 1 Corinthians 11:26 65. Mysterium fidei3)Present Text New TextPEOPLE:PEOPLE:Lord, by your cross andSave us, Savior of theresurrection, you have set world, for by your Crossus free. You are the and Resurrection, you haveSavior of the World. set us free.(John 4:42) 66. Mysterium fidei4)Present TextNew TextPEOPLE: Not approved.Christ has died, Christis risen, Christ willcome again.The fourth Christ has died, Christ is risen,Christ will come again was not approved for thisedition of the Missal because the acclamations areaddressed to Christ (in the new Missal) and thefourth version simply states what Christ hasdone. 67. DoxologyPresent Text New TextPRIEST: PRIEST: Through Him, with him, Through him, and with him, in him, in the unity of the and in him, O God, Holy Spirit, all glory and almighty Father, in the honor is yours almighty unity of the Holy Spirit, all Father, for ever and honor and glory is yours, ever.for ever and ever.The Latin Text positions the Holy Spirit after God theFather. This arrangement relates the Three Persons of theHoly Trinity to one another. The New Text is a literaltranslation of the Latin text, while the Present Text is aninterpretation. 68. The 3rd EDITION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL Communion Rite Concluding Rites 69. Communion RitePresent Text New TextPRIEST:PRIEST: Behold the Lamb of God;This is the Lamb ofGodbehold him who takes away the sins of the world.who takes away Blessed are those calledthe sins of the world. to the supper of theHappy are those whoLamb.are calledto his supper. 70. Communion Rite The more literal rendering of the invitation tocommunion also makes the various connectionsto the Scriptures more clear: John the Baptists identification of Jesus as theLamb of God in John 1:29, the supper of the Lamb in Revelation 19:9, and the healing of the centurions servant in Luke7:6-7 (and Matthew 8:8). 71. Communion Rite It is interesting to notice that the phrase thisis has been removed. Just as we no longersay, This is the word of the Lord at theend of the readings or This is the Body ofChrist at communion because the wordTHIS seems to limit Christs presence. In addition, behold makes for a more poeticrendering, and is more suggestive of the sacred,as is blessed instead of happy. 72. Communion RitePresent Text New TextPEOPLE:PEOPLE:Lord, I am not worthyLord, I am not worthyto receive you,that you should enterbut only say the wordunder my roof,and I shall be healed. but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. This echoes the words of the Centurion, who asked Jesus to heal his servant (Luke 7:6-7, Matthew 8:5-13) 73. Communion Rite Those under the roof of the centurion werethose of his household and of his command,thesolders who were under his authority as theirhead. By saying Lord, I am not worthy that you shouldenter under my roof, but only say the word, and mysoul shall be healed, he actually placed himselfunder Jesus authority and expressed his faith andconfidence in Him and in His Words. 74. Communion Rite Therefore, when we say this, we follow the sameattitude of the centurion as we prepare towelcome Christ into the home of our bodies inHoly Communion, in humility, faith, gratitude asmembers of Jesus household, which is HisBody. 75. Concluding RitesPresent TextNew TextPRIEST: PRIEST: Go forth, the Mass is The Mass is ended, goended.in peace. Or: Go and announcethe Gospel of the Lord. Or: Go in peace,glorifying the Lord byyour life. Or: Go in peace. 76. Concluding Rites In 2005, the World Synod of Bishops met toreflect on the place of the Eucharist in the life ofthe Church. At the end of the meeting, a number ofpropositions were presented to Pope BenedictXVI. These were worked into his follow-upApostolic Exhortation, Sacramentumcaritatis (51): 77. Sacramentum Caritatis (51)Finally, I would like to comment briefly on theobservations of the Synod Fathers regarding thedismissal at the end of the eucharistic celebration.After the blessing, the deacon or the priestdismisses the people with the words: Ite, missa est[currently translated as, The Mass is ended, goin peace.]. These words help us to grasp therelationship between the Mass just celebratedand the mission of Christians in the world. Inantiquity, missa simply meant "dismissal." 78. Sacramentum Caritatis (51)However in Christian usage it gradually took on adeeper meaning. The word "dismissal" has cometo imply a "mission." These few wordssuccinctly express the missionary nature of theChurch. The People of God might be helped tounderstand more clearly this essential dimensionof the Churchs life, taking the dismissal as astarting- point. In this context, it might also behelpful to provide new texts, duly approved, forthe prayer over the people and the finalblessing, in order to make this connection clear. 79. Concluding RitesIn 2008, the Holy Father did indeed add threenew dismissals to the Roman Missal in order tostress that we are sent as missionaries into theworld. These are the newest words in the 2000-year history of Catholic worship. Along with Goforth, the Mass is ended (which is the newtranslation of Ite, missa est),THE NEW DISMISSALS ARE: Or: Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord. Or: Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life. Or: Go in peace. 80. Concluding RitesIt is an intriguing fact that we name what wedo the Mass by the final action: thedismissal, the being sent forth to proclaimthe Gospel in word and deed.The Church, which is all of us, is missionary innature.In order to fulfill that calling, which comes to usthrough baptism, we gather together tocelebrate Eucharist. 81. Concluding RitesOur faith tells us that this is the pre-eminent placethatwe encounter Christ in each other, in the word proclaimed, in the sacrament in order to be changed, transformed, more and more into the Body of Christ that we are. 82. Concluding RiteChanged, we are sent back out to encounter Christ in those whom weserve.Changed by that encounter, we return to the Tables of Word and Sacramentto be nourished ...and sent on mission again week after week until we are all welcomed into the wedding feast of the Lamb. 83. The 3rd EDITION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL Communion Rite Concluding Rites 84. In addition, the 3rd Edition of theRoman Missal contains prayers1) for the observances of recently canonized saints,2) additional prefaces for the Eucharistic Prayers,3) additional Votive Masses4) additional Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions5) some updated and revised rubrics (instructions) for the celebration of the Mass6) new musical settings have been composed 85. There is grace with the new Missal for allCatholics as we allow the Holy Spirit to deepen,nurture, and celebrate our faith through therenewal of our worship and the celebration ofthe Sacred Liturgy. The entire Church has been blessed with thisopportunity to deepen its understanding ofthe Sacred Liturgy, and to appreciate itsmeaning and importance in our lives. 86.
