2011 will be included in the Newsletter over the next two months. Sunday
July 10rd 2011 Question:
Where do I find the changes in the people’s prayers at Mass? Answer: The Mass missalette and the
congregational card will have all the prayers and responses that are changing. These are also available on www.catholicbishops.ie and www.liturgy-ireland.ie, accompanied by brief
video explanations. There are new translations of
“I confess”, “Glory to God in the highest”, the Creeds, the
acclamations in the Eucharistic Prayers, “Lord, I am not worthy”, and a number
of other prayers and responses, which are very slightly changed; for example, in the Holy,
Holy, we say “Lord of hosts” and in the response to “Pray, brothers and
sisters”, the addition of one word, “holy” before “Church”; where
we responded “And also with you”, we now say “And with your spirit”. |
