The New English Translation of the Roman Missal
On November 27, the First Sunday of Advent, Catholics in the United States began to use the New Roman Missal for our liturgical celebrations. The Mass will not change in form or content, but some of the words to familiar prayers are different. Many of the changes are in the words spoken by the priest, some in the prayers of the people. We have cards in the pews and video projections of our responses. We have new music composed to accompany some of the new prayers. These changes offer us an opportunity to reflect on the importance of our full, active and conscious participation at Mass.
The Unites States Conference of Catholic Bishops has answered some of the most frequently asked questions about these changes. To read the full answers you may visit their web site usccb.org.
What’s new or different about the revised translation?
The style of the translation of the third edition is different. In accord with the rules for translation established by the Holy See, the revised translation follows the style of the original Latin texts more closely, including concrete images, repetition, parallelisms, and rhythm. The English used in the Mass texts is more formal and dignified in style. Where possible, the texts follow the language of Scripture and include many poetic images. In addition, the third edition contains prayers for the celebration of recently canonized saints, additional prefaces for the Eucharistic Prayers, additional Masses and prayers for various needs and intentions, and some updated and revised rubrics (instructions) for the celebration of the Mass.
If my parish likes the old translation better, can we continue using that one?
Now that the Holy See has granted the recognitio to the revised translation, the USCCB has established a date for first use and for mandatory use. No parish may continue to use the current translation after the mandatory use date. Parishes will use the period to help parishioners renew their love for the Sacred Liturgy, to understand the changes, and to develop an appreciation for the revised translation.
