3littlekeets Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 my kids for the first time in a year (hanging head in shame), and I thought I should prep them :-). I was hoping there was a one-page summary online I can print, but I keep finding long news stories and the like. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirstenH Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Preparation is good, but take heart, most parishes still have cheat sheets right there in the pew. You won't be any more lost than anyone else. Even our priest still messes up now and then. It's a big change. The biggest thing to remember is, whenever you would have said "And also with you," now you say "And with your spirit." There are lots of other changes, of course, but that's the one that comes up over and over again during Mass. Welcome home and happy Easter! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 We never miss a Sunday and I still mess up so no worries! Our church has laminated cheat sheets in the pews and our priest said we would have them as long as we need them. I think we'll need them until they are falling apart:) Enjoy Mass and welcome back!

Lacie Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 When where these changes made and why? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirstenH Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 When where these changes made and why? Just curious. The changes have been in the works for a while, but they "went live" the first Sunday of Advent 2011. It's meant to be a more faithful English translation of the Mass from Latin.

oraetstudia Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 When where these changes made and why? Just curious. The Mass is written in Latin. When it was translated into English the choice was made to translate in a more paraphrase style, even dropping big sections at times. Although that paraphrase sometimes made for more logical English sentence structure, etc. over time, many came to believe that the paraphrase rather than more exact translation was sub-optimal and did not benefit those worshiping. So in one sense, no change was made. The Latin, in which language things were already written was not changed. But to those of us in English speaking countries, it feels like things have changed, because we're saying things differently. It would be like having the KJV 23 Psalm memorized and then trying to start saying it in the NIV translation. The original didn't change, but the wording in your translation did.

WeeBeaks Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Our church also has laminated cheat sheets in the pews. All of us them every mass, including those of us there every week. Changing years and years of learning is hard! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I just want to add that we just got back from Mass and the priest had to stop and peer at HIS cheat sheet a few times, and a couple times he'd start to say the "old" sentence and correct himself, fast. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlekeets Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! And, yes, I am yelling. I was feeling very embarrassed, and a little hesitant. I feel much better about walking back in after so much time away. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
