The USCCB recently announced a series of workshops to prepare priests and diocesan leaders for implementation of the revised Roman Missal.
The seminars are sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Divine Worship and the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions as part of educational efforts for introducing the latest version of the Roman Missal, which incorporates the most significant changes in the Liturgy since 1974.
You don’t need to wait for the seminars. There is a great site that lists all the “changes,” which I would call improvements, here. You can start reviewing the changes now.
What changes do you like? Which do you find confusing? Do you wish some had been left untouched? What do you think they missed?
We’ll put some of the questions to a priest, and post his answers here.
My favorite – The consecration:
TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT: FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT; WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME.
