Changes to English Missal well underway.
If you attend Roman Catholic Mass regularly, you probably know what to say and how to respond to the priest by heart. Well, get ready to do some homework, because pretty soon youll have to start learning the new English missal.
Cardinal George Pell is on the committee responsible for the changes in the English Missal. He explains that the liturgical texts in English are more of an interpretation rather than a true translation.
Cardinal George Pell
Archbishop of Sydney (Australia)
The main goal of the translations is to get them accurate, faithful to the Latin. But also beautiful, strong and compelling English. And that means a lot of hard work.
The transition to the new English Missal may prove difficult because the current one has been in place for thirty years.

There are changes which are less important, more secondary, and there are changes which are probably more substantial.
Father Randifer Boquiren is a professor of liturgical theology in Rome. He says that the English speaking world will soon see changes in the textual part of the way people celebrate Mass because the Church wants the missal to stay true to the original Latin text.

For example, the first change that the Faithful will encounter is when the priest says the Lord be with you and the faithful will have to respond not and also with you but will say and with your spirit.

And with you was a mistranslation. It was an abbreviation. It wasnt an accurate translation. The Latin is et com spiritum tuo, and with your spirit.
Its estimated that the new missal be in full use in about two years time. Cardinal Pell and others in the Church say that ultimately it will be up to the individual parishes and clergy to help churchgoers adapt to the new text of the Mass. RS

- Dominus Vobiscum ! - Et cum Spiritu Tuo! after so many damages done by the spirit of the world,we are back to the way it was,and shall be forever and ever...we just have to make sure that The Holy Ghost will remain with the spirit of the new missal and to assure that those changes will foster deeper faith among the priests - Behold a Virgin shall bare a Son and He shall be called Emmanuel, God among us. Just making sure the priests will be taught to venerate the Mother of God, so they would be able to comprehend ,worship and adore The Real Eucharistic Presence ,His Body and Blood,yearning for which brings protestant orphans and other prodigal sons back to the table at His Father's House.For Our Lord is the same ,regardless if He holds permanent residence in the Tabernaculum in the land of the North or little village Church in Wadowice." Who do YOU say I am ? " For we are His sheep and we know His Voice,especiallly if we received It by hearing before 1962.May the Name of Our Lord,Jesus Christ be glorified,now and forever and ever,Amen!
