NEW MASS TEXTS ONLINE
The new translation of the Order of Mass recently received “recognitio” from the Holy See, and is now accessible online from the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Bishops' Committee on Divine Worship has also created a “Missal Information” web page to be helpful in formation and catechesis. A letter from Bishop Arthur Serratelli, Chairman of the BCDW, says, in part:
The Committee on Divine Worship provides here materials for our priests and the faithful which can be used for catechesis and preparation for the eventual implementation of the revised texts. Although there are international and national efforts underway to provide materials for formation, the Committee on Divine Worship would like to begin providing information now for people to use for formation....
It will provide people with a single place to look to obtain an orientation for themselves and others who are interested in preparing to receive the final translation of the third edition of the Roman Missal. I hope that the extensive work of the Bishops and all involved in the process of translation, formation, and preparation of these texts will bear abundant fruit in the vibrant and authentic worship of the Church.
