The New Roman Missal
LTP- Liturgy Training Publications 2011
A Little Bit of History Throughout history of the Church few
changes have been made None of the changes effect the
meaning of the Mass Early Church celebrated the ”Breaking
of the Bread” then the Liturgy of the Word; Scripture, Psalms and instruction
Celebrated in people’s homes until Emperor Constantine built churches
History Continued….. Mass was celebrated in Latin the
language of the Roman Empire 301-1500AD Liturgy became more
formal; priests began to wear vestments, incense, bells, genuflection were added
1500-1900AD Council of Trent reformed Missal, Pope Pius V called for a standard missal for the Western Church
History Continued….. 1962 – Present, Second Vatican Council
outlined liturgical changes; including mass being said in both Latin and the vernacular or “mother tongue”
The mass we experience today is the result of bishops, liturgists, and theologians who translated it from Latin to English
Prayers of the Roman Catholic Church always originate in Latin, there have been 3 editions of the Roman Missal, last one to be published in 2002
Translators now have a firmer grasp of the meaning of the original texts and how we should pray
The goal is for our Missal to “accurately” translate the Latin without paraphrasing
Help better connect the words of the Mass to the Scripture readings
Some sentences in the prayers are longer and the vocabulary is more extensive
What Will the New Translation Do?
Translation continued… Two types of translation; formal
equivalence (literal translation) and dynamic equivalence (seeks to get across the thought that is expressed in the text)
New revision reflects dynamic approach
The goal is to make the translation more accurate
Prayers are more humble and acknowledge the majesty of God
The process was guided by the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL). Eleven bishops from different countries around the world
Now we begin with the new parts of the mass! (changes are highlighted in orange)
I. The Introductory Rites Entrance Procession and Chant, the
mass begins when we stand as a sign to honor God
We believe Christ is present as our community begins its prayer
Most churches sign a song or hymn We reverence the altar by bowing
because the altar is a symbol of Christ himself
The priest says the words for the Sign of the Cross, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”, we respond “Amen”
The gesture of signing is our way of saying we belong to God
Sign of the cross reminds us that Jesus died on the cross for us
Next is the Greeting where the priest welcomes the assembly, “Good morning”
Then his greeting is formal as we enter into a holy time of prayer
Greeting

II. Liturgy of the WordDialogue at the Gospel
Priest: The Lord be with youYou: And with your spiritPriest: A reading from the holy Gospel according to…You: Glory to you, O Lord.
Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
Nicene Creed cont.he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen
