I like the new translations! While our Church did very little to prepare, implementing the translations last Sunday, we did introduce new music with the correct wording over a month ago. Yes mistakes were made, both by the congregation and the priest, but I found it to be a somewhat bonding experience, as we all tried to learn the new words together.

They placed very nice laminated cards in the pews for people to use until they get to know the new words. I have no memory of the Mass in Latin, so I’m looking forward to all the new texts as the come over the next months, listening for the differences, helping me to pay closer attention!

I liked them too, but we had a lot of mistakes in our Masses too. I heard a lot of "AND ALSO WITH YOU"'s all around me. (And in the interest of honesty, I must confess that "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa" for that same old response once or twice.)

(But I think even Father Mitch on EWTN Daily Mass today forgot to say I have "greatly" sinned"...)    :)

We all need lots of practice...
