Whenever the priest says "The Lord be with you," the people will respond, "And with your spirit."The new ICEL text for the people's prayer before Communion says, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed."
They're actually translating the Latin into English instead of composing English text for what they think the Latin should have said!
Glory to God!

I can't find Jungmann's Volume I of the Mass of tne Roman Rite (I lose and find books in my house all the time) but I do vaguely recall he cited a Jewish prayer which response to "The Lord be with you" was "and also with you."
Something close to that (This is off the top of my head). Do you recall anything similar or ever hear/read of that explanation? I'm not claiming Jungmann is definitive or authoritative on this point.
I'm pinging a few others
