Most welcome indeed!

The Committee for Divine Worship of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has just released the texts for the Order of Mass.

This new translation, which has received the recognitio of the Holy See and is now "binding," cannot yet be used at the celebration of the Mass (I wish I could use them now!). The texts have been made available to us for study and preparation for the day when they will be allowed. Their release will also allow musicians time to prepare settings worthy of the Liturgy.

I can't tell you how happy I am to see them! The days are drawing closer to the time when we will have a truly beautiful - and accurate - translation of the Mass in English.

Do take a look at these texts and begin committing them to heart.
