Archbishop of Canberra and Goulburn Mark Coleridge says the newly-approved Holy See translation of the Missal would be in use in churches before the middle of next year. "There will be a great catechetical opportunity as the parishes and communities of the Archdiocese use the resource ‘One Body, One Spirit in Christ' which has been produced internationally to accompany the new translation of the Missal," he said on the archdiocese's news page.
After nearly 10 years work on the new translation of the Missal, the final approval by the Holy See has been given for it.
"The resource will open the door to a deeper understanding of the mystery of the Eucharist which has been the goal of the all the work done on the Missal in these years.
"The Church has come to an important new threshold in the ongoing journey of liturgical renewal upon which much depends."
Work on the new translation has been done by a host of people around the English-speaking world under the supervision of bishops representing the 11 bishops' conferences that comprise the International Commission on English in the Liturgy, said the report.
