As I understand — Pope Benedict has said that the NAB is an abomination and needs to be cleaned out and cleaned up. I know that the Liturgy of the Hours comes from other Bibles, but I do expect some changes. What do you think?
**Latin and modern Spanish are also very far apart from each other, but the Spanish translation is better because the Spanish, at that time, werent trying to undermine the Faith, whereas a lot of the American liturgists and scholars were trying to do just that.**
I’ve always thought it was Benrnardin’s Boys who corrupted the ICEL, but have never known for sure. Any information there from you?
Will the “Our Father” once more end with “And deliver us from evil. AMEN.”?
Will the “Sign of Peace” be retained?
What about the “St. John’s Gospel”?
**Will the Our Father once more end with And deliver us from evil. AMEN.?**
Don’t know about that one.
The CREDO will begin correctly, however, “I believe.”
**Will the Sign of Peace be retained?**
I believe so, but it will be moved to either the beginning of the Mass or the Beginning of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It will be taken OUT of the Communion Rite! Hooray.
**What about the St. Johns Gospel?**
Not sure I know what you are meaning here. As I understand it, the Pope has asked that the English translation of the Bible be cleaned out of all the liberalism and then cleaned up to match the Latin Vulgate. Not sure when this will happen however.
I would certainly not miss the NAB translation for the scripture readings in the breviary. I much prefer the RSV Catholic edition; if I recall, it's the translation that is used in the Canadian Dioceses.
The only reason I post the NAB first on the Daily and Sunday Readings is because of the layout with the live links. By the first 10 posts, everyone has a translation from the RSV and the Jerusalem Bibles.
Then later in the day, annalex posts the Douay Rheims and Vulgate.
Every thread has FIVE, yes, five translations. People can pick and choose. LOL!
O God, thou art my God, I seek thee early
with a heart that thirsts for thee
and a body wasted with longing for thee,
like a dry and thirsty land that has no water.
So longing, I come before thee in the sanctuary
to look upon thy power and glory.
Thy true love is better than life;
therefore I will sing thy praises.
And so I bless thee all my life
and in thy name lift my hands in prayer.
I am satisfied as with a rich and sumptuous feast
and wake the echoes with thy praise.
-Psalm 63:1-5
I cannot wait. Seeing “Credo” and “WE believe” side by side drives me nuts.
Next to go — the OCP ditties. Oh puleez Lord, in my lifetime.
New English Bible? First I have ever heard of it.
What is ASL?
Do you have a link for that New English Bible? It sounds wonderful.
I think they will fall by the wayside too. Our priest is constantly introducing new and very reverant hymns at Daily Mass. He has a wonderful voice.
I also like the Revised English Bible, a revision of the New English Bible.
ASL = American Sign Language. I'm an interpreter for the deaf. :-)
That Missal is incredible. The richness of the faith that is poured onto the pages is truly awesome!
Don’t hold me to “later in the day”. Recently, I had trouble posting from home due to computer problems, and at work — too much work.
In a week, I will be on a short vacation.
So, there may be interruptions. But I do catch up.
Understandable. That has happened to me too.
My daughter teaches at a school where there are many deaf students and she has learned this.
Great language with a lot of it make very good sense to the eye.
It can’t come soon enough for me!
The next best thing would be Latin.

Agree and agree, FRiend.
Will we soon have these?
“I believe” and not “We believe” at the Credo
and
“And with your spirit” (Et cum spirity tuo) instead of “And also with you”
And please, please let there be no more “sign of peace”.
