48 hours to go

Within the next 48 hours or so, just as the sun is setting on Saturday evening, we will begin to celebrate the first of the vigil liturgies for the First Sunday of Advent.  This moment will also mark the beginning of a new liturgical year, and after more than 40 years of waiting, it will also mark the introduction of the long-awaited final English translation of the Roman Missal.


The hard copies arrived in house just about a week ago, barely enough time for us to see the print.  This means that all of us will be hearing new words as of Saturday night, and getting used to new verbages.  In general, the texts are very regal and speak of our worshipping action with a dignity that it deserves.

Get ready, it's on its way.
