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.
