Knowing the New Mass Translation “By Heart”
For those of you who are unaware, the Mass in the English-speaking world is soon to change. The text of the current Mass which we’ve used for the last fifty years is a paraphrase of the original Latin, which itself had been in use for the previous 500 years. The English translation is being revised and replaced with a translation which is much more faithful to the original Latin text. You can hear a BBC recording of the new translation here.
