Prevenient Grace - a reflection on the new missal.
- Written by Michael Maginn
Prevenient grace: a reflection on the new missal By Michael Maginn Reproduced from The Furrow by kind permission of the author and the Editor of the Furrow (July edition) I have done my best. I have given the revised Roman Missal a fair wind. I have used it faithfully since its introduction, tried hard to become comfortable with it, struggled earnestly to like it, even hoped that I might eventually come to love it. But to little avail. Words matter. Some of the ponderous, heavily Latinised translations which we received in Advent 2011, are truly dreadful in their syntax and choice of vocabulary. No amount of positive goodwill can change this unavoidable conclusion. In spite of this, I continue to celebrate Eucharist with genuine joy. Increasingly however, I find myself devising a range of liturgical survival strategies in order to circumvent those revised texts which are too wordily unwieldy, difficult, and in some instances impossible to use.
Laypeople are the Church in the world
- Written by Father Bernard O’Connor OSA
This homily was given On the Feast of St Peter & St Paul at St Mary’s Church in Harborne, Birmingham. A local ACTA member forwarded it to us, thinking that many other members would be as delighted to read it as she was, since it reminded her of what one hears at ACTA meetings in Birmingham. Father Bernard kindly gave permission for its publication.
