New Translation

September 2011 saw one of the most significant changes to the Holy Mass in a generation. From now on, the Holy Mass will be said using the New Translation of the Latin (Vulgate) into English. In this third edition of The Roman Missal all of the prayers we say in English will have a more literal translation corresponding to the original Latin texts.

Following the Second Vatican Council, the Latin texts were translated into the vernacular, or common language, of particular regions. The first English translation of The Roman Missal was completed quickly in 1969. This edition aimed to capture more of the spirit of the texts rather than an exact literal translation of the Latin words. A further second revision of these texts occurred in 1975.

However, in 2001 the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments - the liturgical commission in Rome - issued a document outlining the methodology and process for translating liturgical texts into vernacular languages. This document, Liturgiam Authenticum, called for a more literal translation of the original Latin, and so a group of scholars, poets, and theologians convened and worked painstakingly on providing a third English translation.

The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments announced recognitio (Statement of Acceptance) on April 30th, 2010. Although the Bishops' Conference of Scotland instructed all parishes in the Diocese of Paisley to begin using the new English Translation from September 18th 2011, these texts were formally implemented on the First Sunday of Advent, November 27th, 2011.

Penitential Act: The Confiteor [Form I]

All

and to you, my brothers and sisters,
that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done and in what I have
failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault;
therefore I ask blessed Mary ever Virgin,
all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.

P.
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.

C.
Amen.

O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;

receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,

of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under
Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored
and glorified,

and I look forward to the resurrection
of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
