Is the Mass changing? The structure of the Mass is not changing. Its order and the actions of the Mass remain unchanged. The readings at Mass are not changed. However, with the introduction of the new edition of Roman Missal we will notice a change in how the Mass sounds. The translations of a significant number of our prayer texts from the original Latin have changed sometimes by just a change in a particular word or in the word order. Prayers that we have become used to reciting by memory will need to be relearned. Prayers that we are used to hearing the priest say will sound different to us. The style of language we will hear and pray may seem more formal to us and perhaps, in parts, more complex. But over time, with the praying of these texts, the sound of the Mass will again become familiar to us.
Changes in responses at Mass New Sounds.
A short glossary of some new words and phrases in the congregational prayers and responses.
And with your spirit: the most obvious change, used by the congregation at the beginning and end of Mass, before the Gospel, at the beginning of the Preface and at the Sign of Peace. 'And with your spirit' is the literal translation of what we find in the Latin text, 'et cum spiritu tuo', it proclaims the presence of Christ among us.
The Confiteor has changed as it follows the Latin more closely: that I have greatly sinned replaces that I have sinned through my own fault; and through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault translating mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
. therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-virgin replaces and I ask
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to people of good will The new opening line follows the better Greek original text which is the Angels' song over the shepherds' field.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son replaces Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father Though it might be regarded as an archaic word, we have said the word begotten twice in the Creed for over forty years.
I believe not We believe is the traditional beginning of the Creed when recited in the liturgy. The singular form is not about individualism but associated with Baptism, it is a personal profession of faith.
