New Translation of the Roman Missal

As you know we prepare ourselves for introduction of the new translation of the Roman Missal. For us it is an opportunity to review and refresh our celebration of the liturgy.

The goal of the every reform of the liturgy (it is a very bad expression) was and is to make it more sacramental – helpful for us in the entering the mystery of God’s life. So think, that by the process of introduction of the new translation of the missal we are invited to enter deeper the liturgy of the Church … by knowing more about the language, the code of the liturgy.

So here are some internet sites (the list is not complete) that should be helpful in learning more about the liturgy and the new English Translation of the Roman Missal.
