Catholics Teaching Tool on New Translation

SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM states in paragraph 10, “the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed.”  In order for the full effects of the liturgy to take hold in our hearts we must be properly disposed.  We become open to the graces being poured out by uniting our minds to our voices so we can cooperate with divine grace.  Helping our minds understand what we are saying and doing in the liturgy is important.

Msgr. Michael Magee, Chair of the Systematic Theology Department of Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary in Pennsylvania, easily explains the Roman Missal.  Orthodox and clear teachings will help any parish, youth group, or family make sense of the new translations occurring this advent.
