The new English translation of the third edition of the Roman Missal went into effect on November 27, 2011, the first Sunday of Advent. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops approved that new musical settings of the Mass would be used beginning early in September. Here at St. Pius V, our choirs and music ministers learned a new Mass setting (Mass from Age to Age) that was introduced to the community beginning the first week of October. This was one way that helped us make an easier transition to the new translation. We also read and studied about the theology of the Mass, as well as specific changes in the translation - all so that we continue to be full, active and conscious participants in the celebration of the Mass. |

You may have heard that there will be some changes to what we hear and say at Mass. And you might ask, "why"? The Vatican II document, "Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy," opened the way for the greater use of the vernacular in the celebration of the liturgy. In 1969, an "Instruction on Translations" was issued with the statement that "after sufficient experiment and passage of time, all translation will need review." That time is now. In 1982, the International Commission on English in Liturgy (ICEL) began the process of revising the missal translation; the process culminated in the completion of the revised Sacramentary/Missal, in 1997. However, in the interim, Rome had begun to work on a new Latin edition of the Missal, using re-evaluated principles of translation contained in the Instruction on Translations. These principles place a greater emphasis on reflecting not only the vocabulary of the Latin text but also its grammar, syntax, rhetorical forms, scriptural and patristic allusion, and word order to the extent that the particular vernacular language allows. These principles have been carefully followed in ICEL's more recent work on the translation of the third Latin edition of the Missal, published in 2002, emended in 2008, and most recently approved for implementation (set to take place the first Sunday of Advent, 2011). |
