Thanks to my friend and colleague Santiago Cortés-Sjöberg for sharing this video link with me. It is a very helpful short video to help teens and middle school youth to understand the changes in the Roman Missal.

Here it is, folks! After months and months of talking about it, my personal copy of the new Roman Missal arrived today! It’s like Christmas in November for a liturgical/catechetical dork like me! 🙂 Hopefully, you and your parish have been preparing for the implementation of the new translation of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal. Here are some resources that will be of help to you if you’re looking to do some last-minute […]
In this segment of Catechists in Action, we see 7th grade catechist Dan Ward talking to his class about Advent and the introduction of the Roman Missal changes. Watch for the following as Dan… directs the young people to open their text books and look at the liturgical calendar talks about Advent as the beginning of the Church’s new year asks the young people about their experience of the changes in the Mass invites a […]

I love this LifeTeen series. The video for explaining this to Parents is actually the one we are going to use at Mass at the end of August at our parish. All 3 videos on their Vimeo channel are simple, lively and very positive.
That should be very effective!
VERY GOOD EXPLANATION , but I feel that the changes are minute. Lord I am not worthy to receive you verses under my roof makes makes less sense. And also with you verses and with your spirit, I belive vs. we believe, etc In the ten years that this was worked on, I am sure there were much more important things for the church to be doing.
Absolutely fabulous!!!!
This translation is a return to the faithful meaning of the original words, which, through inexperience on the part of the bishops, has now been corrected. The accuracy of Liturgical texts is THE MOST IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE BISHOPS HAVE. They have done their job fully at last! Do not think that this is something which takes away from “more important” tasks. This is our shepherds’ MAIN task. I am grateful to God for this improved translation of our Holy Mass.
I absolutely love this video and want to look at the others in the series. So grateful to your for bringing this to our attention. As a Director of Faith Formation who is also responsible for the Liturgy in our parish, I’m really looking forward to Advent when the changes are implemented. When we respond, “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul will be healed, we echo the words of the Roman centurion who begged Jesus to heal his servant. What a statement of faith.
Linda, your excitment will go a long way in helping others to embrace these changes.
Thank you for taking the time to effectively summarize and communicate the process and reason for the changes. This will help me to better explain the changes to my family and neighbors who have questions
Wish I could take the credit, Tom, but that video was done by someone other than me! I was just passing it along.
