Growing into a Fuller Participation in the Life of the Church, Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the Liturgy. Such participation by the Christian people as "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people (I Pet 2:9; cf. 2:4-5), is their right and duty by reason of their baptism. (Article 14 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy - Second Vatican Council)
Lector: The Lector is responsible for proclaiming the Word of God known to us through the Scriptures. The Lector speaks the stories of God to the people of God. The Lector needs to be a clear speaker, capable of addressing a group in a large space with understanding and confidence. Some experience with public speaking is helpful. The Lector needs to be willing to prepare for the reading. Usually this means getting the reading in advance, reflecting on the passage, and studying enough to understand the meaning of the text. Commentaries (explanations of the texts) are available. A Lector must do their best to make sure that the proclamation of the Word of God is done reverently, knowledgeably, and expressively. Altar Server: Each Mass has a certain amount of actions
or tasks that are aided by an Altar Server. This ministry requires someone with knowledge of the progression of the Mass and an ability to "think on your feet." This person carries the cross in the entrance procession, holds the Sacramentary for the presider, and helps with the sacred vessels used at Mass. The ministry needs someone who is comfortable in front of group, who can take direction, and who can move gracefully and reverently as a situation of public prayer would require. This ministry is open to all parishioners in 4th grade and older.

Jesus wants to help us experience life as he meant it to be lived, but sometimes we don't give him the chance. Sometimes, instead of letting him guide our lives, by swimming along within the safety net of Church teaching, we let ourselves sink to the bottom of the sea. Like those crustaceans that prowl the floor of the ocean and cling with all their strength to the rocks, we sometimes cling to the pleasures or honors of this passing world. But then the net can't reach us, and we won't be brought to the shore of everlasting life. The Psalmist says in today's Psalm: "Truly I love your commands more than the finest gold." If we hang on too tightly to the gold and glitter of this world, it will weigh us down. But if we cling to God's will, to the sure and strong net of Christ's teachings, he will see us safely home. The farmer in the parable sold all he owned so he could buy the field with the treasure. The merchant sold all he owned so he could buy the pearl of great price. They weren't afraid of giving up some good things in order to gain the one great thing. Is there something we need to give up? Is there some unhealthy relationship, some hidden habit of self-indulgence, some unrepented and unconfessed sin, some festering grudge, some secret sorrow, or some self-centered ambition that is weighing us down? Today Jesus is inviting us to let it go. Let it sink to the bottom of the ocean, so that the net of God's love is free to lift us up onto the bright, warm shores of a deeper friendship with Jesus Christ, our Lord, our Savior, our priceless and everlasting treasure.

Solomon requests and receives the gift of understanding. Solomon understands his solemn duty as king of the people, and therefore asks for this gift to distinguish right from wrong. The Psalmist picks up on this theme, praising the Lords word and his commands because they shed light, giving understanding to the simple. Jesus, furthermore, asks his disciples, Do you understand all these things? By his words to them, he seeks to impart that gift of understanding. We are beneficiaries of this gift as well. If the Psalmist could praise Gods commands for giving understanding, how much more can we, who have the added benefit of the Gospels and the Church. Human reason itself can distinguish right from wrong. Enlightened and strengthened by revelation in Christ, we have no reason to be ignorant of moral truth. Yet we see all around us Solomons without wisdom, public officials who have responsibility to govern the people but who claim that what is right or wrong for the human family cannot be known with certainty. This problem has been addressed frequently by the Magisterium. In the 2002 Doctrinal Note on some questions regarding the participation of Catholics in political life, issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the problem is described this way: Citizens claim complete autonomy with regard to their moral choices, and lawmakers maintain that they are respecting this freedom of choice by enacting laws which ignore the principles of natural ethics and yield to ephemeral cultural and moral trends, as if every possible outlook on life were of equal value. Todays readings make it clear that no believer can make this claim. Part of the good news is that we can indeed know the difference between right and wrong, and have the strength to carry it out. Among the goods we need to preserve, the pearl of great price is life itself, the foundation and condition of every other right and good that we possess. Priests for Life

1. Why is there a need for a new translation? Pope John Paul II issued the third edition of the Missale Romanum (the Latin text of the Roman Missal) during the Jubilee Year in 2000. This new edition included many new texts requiring translation. In addition, the experience of the years after the Second Vatican Council gave rise to a desire for more formal and literal translations of the original Latin texts. This new translation will employ the best of what we have learned about translation and liturgical language in two generations of celebrating the Liturgy in the vernacular. It will provide an opportunity to reflect ever more deeply on the eucharistic celebration that lies at the heart of the Churchs life.
3. Whats new or different about the revised translation? The style of the translation of the third edition is different. In accord with the rules for translation established by the Holy See, the revised translation follows the style of the original Latin texts more closely, including concrete images, repetition, parallelisms, and rhythm. The English used in the Mass texts is more formal and dignified in style. Where possible, the texts follow the language of Scripture and include many poetic images. In addition, the third edition contains prayers for the celebration of recently canonized saints, additional prefaces for the Eucharistic Prayers, additional Masses and prayers for various needs and intentions, and some updated and revised rubrics (or instructions) for the celebration of the Mass. 4. What is the timeline for the approval and implementation of the Missal? After the Latin Missale Romanum was published in 2002, ICEL began its work of preparing a draft English translation of the text. ICEL presented the first section the Order of Mass, which contains the fixed prayers of the Mass, including the peoples partsto the Englishspeaking conferences of bishops in 2004. The USCCB approved the final version in 2006, and the Holy See confirmed this section in June 2008. The remaining sections were approved between 2007 and 2009. The USCCB completed its approval of the Missal in November 2009. The Holy See granted the final approval of the text in the spring of 2010. Cardinal Francis George, OMI, president of the USCCB, announced that parishes may begin using the revised translation on November 27, 2011. 5. Can we start using the texts approved by the bishops immediately? The translation of the Missale Romanum could not be used in the celebration of the Mass until the complete text was confirmed by the Holy See. Now that the translation has received the recognitio, the USCCB has established the first day on which the new translation may be used. Use of the revised text requires preparation and catechesis for
2. Who is doing the work of translation? The process of translating liturgical texts from the original Latin is a highly consultative work done by several groups. The International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) prepares English translations of liturgical texts on behalf of the conferences of bishops of Englishspeaking countries. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the other member conferences receive draft translations of each text and have the opportunity to offer comments and suggestions to ICEL. Then ICEL proposes a second draft, which each conference approves and submits to the Vatican for final approval. Each conference reserves the right to amend or modify a particular text. At the Vatican, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments examines the translated texts, offers authoritative approval (recognitio) of the texts, and grants permission for their use. Currently the Congregation is aided by the recommendations of Vox Clara, a special committee of bishops and consultants from English-speaking countries. The translation and review process is guided by the guidelines in Liturgiam Authenticam, issued in 2001, an instruction from the Congregation that outlines the principles and rules for liturgical translation. In 2007, the Congregation also issued a ratio outlining the specific rules for translation in English.

both priests and the faithful. When the time comes to use the texts in the celebration of the Mass, priests will be properly trained, the faithful will have an understanding and appreciation of what is being prayed, and musical settings for the liturgical texts will be readily available. 6. What will the process of implementation look like? Now that the recognitio has been granted, final preparation and publication of the Missal will commence. Catechesis on the new translation and on the Liturgy itself will become even more important. Training for priests, music ministers, and other liturgical leaders (liturgy committees and liturgical commissions), as well as formation for all Catholics, will help to ensure the successful implementation of the new text. 7. What will the new Missal mean in my parish? In the months before the revised translation is implemented, parishes will have to do many things. The parish will have to replace liturgical books and participation aids. Priests will practice proclaiming the new texts and will prepare homilies helping the faithful to understand the new translation and to deepen their appreciation for the Liturgy. The music ministers and the people will learn new musical settings for the parts of the Mass (such as the Gloria and the Sanctus). Catechists and teachers will help parishioners learn the new prayers. Parishes may also use this opportunity to undertake a thorough reexamination of their liturgical practices. 8. If my parish likes the old translation better, can we continue using that one? Now that the Holy See has granted the recognitio to the revised translation, the USCCB has established a date for first use and a date for mandatory use. No parish may continue to use the current translation after the mandatory use date. Parishes will need to use the period before the mandatory use date to help parishioners renew their love for the Sacred Liturgy, to understand the changes, and to develop an appreciation for the revised translation.
9. Do these changes mean that the old translation was not valid and orthodox? The current translation was approved by the conferences of bishops and confirmed by the Holy See. Until the new text becomes effective, the current translation remains the valid ordinary form of the Liturgy in the Roman Rite. The revised translation attempts to address some inadequacies in the present translation by introducing a more elevated style of language and by retaining many poetic texts and scriptural allusions. The current translation fostered the faith of two generations of Catholics and retains a valid place in church history. 10. What opportunities does the new Missal offer the Church? Implementing the new Missal will give the Church an opportunity to take a fresh look at its liturgical practice and to renew its celebration of the Sacred Liturgy, which is the source and summit of Christian life (Second Vatican Council, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church [Lumen Gentium], no. 11). The faithful, encountering the Liturgy anew in the new text, can deepen their sharing in Christs sacrifice, offering their lives to the Father as they worship in Spirit and truth (Jn 4:23).
