The new Mass translation is coming in just a few weeks! Back in 2000, Blessed Pope John Paul II issued the third edition of the Roman Missal. After more than ten years of consultation and work, the new English translation is finally ready. <\/p>\n

This week we move on to the Sanctus<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts<\/strong>.
\nHeaven and earth are full of your glory.
\nHosanna in the highest.
\nBlessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
\nHosanna in the highest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>The only change is that \u201cGod of power and might\u201d becomes \u201cGod of hosts.\u201d The word \u201chosts\u201d refers to the heavenly host of angelic armies. This is found in Isaiah 6:1-3, \u201cI saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne\u2026 Seraphim were stationed above\u2026 \u2018Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts!\u2019 they cried one to the other. \u2018All the earth is filled with his glory!\u2019\u201d and in the Gospel, a \u201cmultitude of the heavenly host\u201d announces the birth of Jesus to the shepherds (Lk 2:13).<\/p>\n

The Sanctus reminds us that all on \u201cheaven and earth\u201d owe thanks to God. If we truly believe that the angels are present and worshiping with us as we celebrate the Holy Eucharist, then every fiber of our being should reflect the utmost reverence. Therefore, immediately after the Sanctus, we kneel. Kneeling is a distinctly human sign of respect and humility \u2013 something even the angels, being pure spirit, cannot do.<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s on to the Eucharistic Prayer. It\u2019s here that the new translation might be at its most poetic and evocative. We can only mention a couple of examples. <\/p>\n

In Eucharistic Prayer II, we hear, \u201cMake holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall.\u201d Dewfall is a powerful Biblical image. In Exodus 16, the Lord tells Moses that He will rain down manna, which would appear as dew in the morning. In Numbers 11:9 we find, \u201cWhen the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell with it.\u201d The manna could only be gathered as a daily portion \u2013 their daily bread \u2013 to cultivate complete trust in the Lord. The Eucharist, as the fulfillment of the manna, is our constant recourse and sustenance.<\/p>\n

A second great example is in Eucharistic Prayer III, where we have heard \u201c\u2026 so that from east to west a perfect offering may be made\u201d. This now becomes a more faithful rendering of the imagery found in Malachi 1:11 and Psalm 113: \u201cfrom the rising of the sun to its setting, a pure sacrifice may be offered\u2026\u201d with the movement of the sun indicating both space and<\/em> time. The new translation conveys the sense that the Holy Mass and the one Sacrifice of Jesus Christ are truly eternal.<\/p>\n

Next time: Consecration and Mystery<\/a>.<\/p>\n
