Most likely you do miss the humor. We Catholics are struggling with a new English translation of the Mass that went into use the fist week of Advent and that contains some unfamiliar words, but is quite beautiful. To my ear it is much like what we used to say in Latin before Vatican II. Even though I thought it would be easy, I still screw up on the simplest response — “And with your spirit.” I got it half right at Christmas and we’ve been saying it for 5 weeks.
I’m surprised that Msgr. Pope didn’t include some “consubtantial” ingredients! LOL.
I have enough trouble understanding Lutherans... ;)
Merry Christmas!
