 From Catholic News Agency:
After years in the making, the English translation of the new Roman
Missal is nearing its completion and is now awaiting the final approval
of the bishops and the Vatican. In an effort to begin educating the
faithful and clergy on the new translation, the U.S. bishops have
launched a website.
The new website,
which was launched on August 21, includes background material on the
process of the development of liturgical texts, sample texts from the
Missal, a glossary of terms and answers to frequently asked questions.
A press release from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)
says that content will be added to the website on a regular basis over
the next several months.
Bishop Arthur Serratelli, who chairs the bishops' Committee on
Divine Worship, welcomes the faithful to the new site in a video,
saying, "In the years since Vatican II we have learned a lot about the
use of the vernacular in the liturgy and the new texts reflect this new
understanding."

Pope Benedict XVI has declared a “Year for Priests” which began with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 19, 2009. The year will conclude in Rome with an international gathering of priests with the Holy Father on June 19, 2010. With the announcement of this Year for Priests, the Pope has declared St. John Vianney the Universal Patron of Priests on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the death of the Cure d’Ars. On the Diocese of Palm Beach website (www.diocesepb.org) you will find a number of resources to observe the celebration of the Year for Priests. There is a monthly calendar which may be printed out with the name of a priest or priests who minister in the Diocese of Palm Beach to pray for each day of the year. Please pray for our priests that they might be strengthened in their ministry.

Celibacy is a great gift and blessing for the priest, for the Church and for society. It affords the priest a unique opportunity for a greater ability to serve all of God's people as well as for an intimate and mystical union with Christ Himself. The basis for priestly celibacy is the imitation of Christ who lived His mission in complete union with His Father and gave His life in love for all. Priestly celibacy is not a function. It is a way of life in conformity to the life of Christ. Celibacy is of the same nature as marriage. Just as a husband and wife give themselves exclusively to each other for their family, the priest gives himself exclusively to Christ for the service of Christ’s family, the Church. Both ways of giving bring joy. A particular priest's human failing in regard to living his fidelity to celibacy should not call into question the joyful gift of celibacy anymore than a particular person’s infidelity to his or her spouse should call into question the joyful gift of marriage.

March is dedicated to St. Joseph
Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; 21 she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
Matthew 1:20b-21 RSV Oh,
St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the
throne of God, I place in you all my interest and desires. Oh, St. Joseph,
do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your
divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So
that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my
thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I
never weary contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not
approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him close in my name and
kiss His fine head for me and ask Him to return the Kiss when I draw my
dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls - Pray for me. .
