I've just started reading the new translation of the Roman Missal and what an improvement it is.
It's much better than the Missal of Pope Paul VI, I think, and if that sounds arrogant of me to say, then I can only appeal to God's great mercy, since I will have committed that sin...
'...through my fault, my own fault, through my own grievous fault...'
rather than just,
'...through my own fault...'
How exciting! It's just like the 1960s all over again, only better...Economic crises, unemployment, strikes, political chaos, coaltion government and a new Missal!
They say if you remembered the 1960s you weren't really there, which I have always found a little disturbing, since the inference is that the authors of the 1962 Missal weren't 'really there' either. Click here for a pdf of the New Order of the Mass and here for Fr Ray Blake's blogpost on which you can subscribe to Scribd and download a copy from there, for the 'People's Parts' of the new translation.
May God bless and protect His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.
