Translating the Mass
It is no secret that the English speaking world is anticipating some changes in the liturgy. A new translation of the Mass is on its way and it will affect the way English speaking Catholics pray the Mass. But why is this happening now and what is the thinking behind these changes? To answer these questions, we need to go back to the reform of the liturgy which began at the Second Vatican Council (1962 – 1965).

When Pope John XXIII assembled the bishops of the world for the Second Vatican Council, his primary goal was to renew and update the Church. Because the faith of the Church is most clearly expressed through its liturgical celebrations, the first thing the bishops did was to renew the liturgy. This process began with the first document promulgated by the Council: The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. Even though it was written over 40 years ago, it still stands today as the most authoritative document on the liturgy in the Church.  It called for a new approach to liturgical celebrations centered on the desire to engage those present at the liturgy in full, conscious and active participation.
