The new translation of the Missal will come into full use at Mass between 1 th September and the First Sunday of Advent this year. Since 1975, when the present missal was published, several new texts have been made available:- Eucharistic prayers, New Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary & Masses for over 20 new Feasts of the Saints ~ including St. Pius of Pietrelcina ~ Padre Pio, Edith Stein & Maximillian Kolbe. New translations have been added which follow more closely the original Latin ~ pleasing some, annoying many others. The new translation also attempts to follow more closely biblical language and images. Across the English speaking world, the new edition of the Roman Missal will contain both new material and a new style of translation. The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults! Peter De Vries.
