The celebration of Mass is a corporate act, an act of the whole assembly gathered for worship. All the particular ministries serve this corporate function (GIRM, no. 27). In the Mass, the Church is joined to the action of Christ, the high point both of the action by which God sanctifies the world in Christ and of the worship that the human race offers to the Father, adoring him through Christ, the Son of God, in the Holy Spirit (no. 16). We are joined to this divine action through baptism, which incorporates us into the risen Christ. This action, which lies at the center of the whole Christian life (no. 16) is not initiated by us but by God acting in and through the Church as the body of the risen Christ.

The Holy See has approved the New English Translation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal.  We must now await the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to determine when when can begin using the new translation in liturgy.  It is expected that the new translation will be in effect for Advent of 2011. 

The bishops have told us that now is the time for us to begin studying and learning the new text.  When these changes take effect it will be awkward to change responses we have made for many years that, over time, have become automatic.  Soon we will have to think about what we are saying at Mass.  The translation will also bring about a change in the language of the Mass.  The Vatican has asked that vernacular translations mare closely resemble the original Latin text.  We will notice more complex wording and longer phrases as the translators have worked to emancipate the rich meaning and antiquity of the prayers of the Roman Rite. The language we will use at Mass will sound less like street English and more like one addressing a king in a royal court.  We must remember the Mass makes us present on Calvary as the King of Kings was glorified by submitting His will to His Father in the Perfect Sacrifice: an example which we are called to imitate by submitting ourselves as a living sacrifice to Father.

People often ask why it is that the Church talks about money. There is a widespread view that our faith is separate from what we do with our money. That way of thinking is flawed.

The Church exists to share Christ with the world, and that fact is, Christ had a lot to say about money. There are hundreds of references to money in the Bible. Jesus used money and possessions as themes in half of His parables. Why did He speak of money so often? Because He knows that money and possessions have a way of interfering with our relationship with Him.

WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 20, 2009—Today a group of prominent Christian clergy, ministry leaders and scholars released the Manhattan Declaration, which addresses the sanctity of life, traditional marriage and religious liberty.  The 4,700-word declaration issues a clarion call to Christians to adhere to their convictions and informs civil authorities that the signers will not—under any circumstance—abandon their Christian consciences.  Drafted by Dr. Robert George, Dr. Timothy George and Chuck Colson and signed by more than 150 Orthodox, Catholic and evangelical Christian leaders, the Manhattan Declaration was made public at a noon ET press conference held in the Lisagor Room at the National Press Club.
