The New Translation

As we have begun the season of Advent we begin the use of the new translation of the Roman Missal. Not a change in the Liturgy but rather a greater understanding through a more accurate translation. It may seem a little strange at first but everything new usually seems that way doesn't it? This Sunday at Mass take time to familiarize yourself with the new text. The changes, though not many for those of us in the pew, are profound in nature as they are intended to reveal a deeper meaning of our participation in the Holy Mass. With familiarity we can sometimes lose the intimacy of what we are saying to our creator as we gather to play our part in this Sacrifice. May we take this occasion of change as an opportunity to grow in our faith through greater participation in the Liturgy this weekend.
May God bless you and bring you peace.
