NEW TRANSLATION OF MASS
U.S. Bishops to Vote on New Translation of Mass
The U.S. bishops will be asked to approve a new translation of the Order of Mass when they meet in Los Angeles on June 15-17. If the new translation is adopted as proposed and subsequently approved by the Vatican, Catholics will have to learn a number of changes in their Mass prayers and responses. Some of the more obvious follow: Whenever the priest says, “The Lord be with you,” the people will respond, “And with your spirit.” The current response is “And also with you.” In the first form of the penitential rite, the people will confess, “I have sinned greatly…through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.” In the current version, that part of the prayer is much shorter: “I have sinned through my own fault.” The Nicene Creed will begin, “I believe,” instead of “We believe.” The new version is a translation from the Latin instead of the original Greek text. The Sanctus will start, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts.” The current version says, “Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might.”
