The Roman Missal
The new translation of the Roman Missal
New words, deeper meaning, but the same Mass: Preparing for the Third Edition of the Roman Missal
Pope John Paul II announced a revised version of the Missale Romanum during the Jubilee Year 2000. Among other things, the revised edition of the Missale Romanum contains prayers for the observances of recently canonized saints, additional prefaces for the Eucharistic Prayers, additional Votive Masses and Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions, and some updated and revised rubrics (instructions) for the celebration of the Mass. The English translation of the Roman Missal will also include updated translations of existing prayers, including some of the well-known responses and acclamations of the people.
The Roman Missal will be implemented in the United States of America on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. – USCCB
The New Roman Missal Translation: An Overview of the Process
Msgr. Anthony Sherman, former executive director of the Secretariat of Divine Worship, and Rev. Richard Hilgartner, executive director of the Secretariat of Divine Worship, give an overview of what goes into translating texts as well as what we will hear on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2011. Other sections address the priest’s spiritual approach in celebrating the Mass and the place of music to enhance the worship experience.
