Mass changes

Significant changes are coming to the English translation of the Mass. Although these changes will not be made for a year, the planning has already begun. The Omaha World Herald did an article on it in yesterday's paper.

The Mass as said in other languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, and German are not changing. Those translating the Latin into English used a different philosophy in ther translation. Using that same perspective for the English translation should help us be better united as a people of God. One catch phrase for the change is "Same Mass, New Words, Deeper Meaning."

Tomorrow (Saturday) the priests and liturgists from the Omaha Archdiocese are meeting with Archbishop Lucas to discuss the changes and how to implement them. Our liturgist, David Batter, is part of the group planning this change in the Archdiocese.

You will hear much more about this in the year ahead, but it's not too early to start discussing it.
