4 User Guide Exploring the Mass 2010, International Committee on English in the Liturgy, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview The three sections within this pathway break open the scriptural foundations of the Eucharist, trace through an interactive timeline the key developments in liturgy since the celebration of the first Eucharist, and feature expert theological insights accompanied by texts drawn from two of the five foundational essays, Theological Reflections on the Mass and on the Roman Missal and Living a Eucharistic Life. The section opens with an introductory video clip which explores the themes of this section. Repeat users of this Resource who do not wish to replay the introductory video clip should click on the words Skip Intro. There are three sections within this pathway: Scriptural Foundations, Evolution of the Mass and Theological Reflections. Scriptural Foundations provides key scripture texts for the foundations of the Eucharist: The Last Supper, Passion and Death, Resurrection, Emmaus, Ascension. These accounts of the Last Supper are the earliest sources for the history of the Mass. Each of these five foundation topics is presented using a key image (painting) accompanied by the related scripture texts. The Last Supper There are five scripture texts: Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:14-23; John 6:1-58; Matthew 26:26-30; I Corinthians 11: The image: Leonardo da Vinci, The Last Supper, A reading The Last Supper is also included. The audio reading from scripture is presented overlayed with Aramaic text. The reading could be used as an introduction to exploring the scripture texts.

5 Exploring the Mass Passion & Death There are five scripture texts: Mark 15:21-32; Mark 15:33-41, Luke 23:44-49; Matthew 27:45-56; Matthew 27: The image: El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos), Christ Carrying the Cross, c The Reflection Passion & Death is a video clip about the Book of Revelation where John saw in his vision the Lamb of God. The Reading is a reflective reading of the Crucifixion. Resurrection There are four scripture texts: Mark 16:1-8; John 20:1-10; Luke 24:1-12; Matthew 28:1-10. The image: Piero della Francesca, The Resurrection of Christ, c There are two Reflections. Reflection 1 is a video clip that draws on the letter to the Hebrews which tells us that Christ offered one single sacrifice. Reflection 2 explains that every liturgical celebration is a participating in and derives from the passion, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our Baptism calls us to life in Christ. Emmaus There is one Scripture text: Luke 24: The image: Michelangelo da Caravaggio, Supper at Emmaus, Ascension There are four scripture texts: Mark 16:14-19; Luke 24:50-53; John 20:17; Acts 1:6-11. The image: Andrei Rublev, The Ascension of Christ, c Moving the cursor over each of the scripture texts highlights the phrase which is a key theme of the scripture passage. Clicking on each of the verses reveals the full text of the scripture passage which is presented on screen with appropriate imagery. To close the screen and return to the title page, click on the in the top right hand corner of the screen. The full text of the scripture passage is sized to take up a significant portion of the screen. It is thought that the full texts might be used for personal/group reflection, or to be read aloud. Moving the cursor over the titles of the Reflections and Readings highlights the title. Clicking on the highlighted title opens up the video clip which commences to play. Clicking on the double bars at the beginning of the frame will pause the video clip. Clicking on the arrowhead will start it playing again. To close the Reading or Reflection and return to the previous screen, simply click on the in the top right hand corner of the screen. Evolution of the Mass tells the story of how the Mass has been celebrated across the centuries. It reveals that a constant underlying pattern was established early in the history of Christian worship. An interactive timeline and six video clips comprise this section. The interactive timeline Mass through the Ages is a graphics and text depiction of 35 key dates in the history of the liturgy. The timeline commences with the Last Supper (34 BC) and concludes in 2010 AD with a description of the structure of the Mass in the The Mass today. The Third typical edition of the Missal - Pope John Paul II (2002) contains details of the granting of the recognitio (approval) of the translation of the Third typical edition of the Missale Romanum. 5

6 Exploring the Mass Each event on the timeline is presented with a date, a title, a text description and at least one image to illustrate the text. Moving the cursor over the date and/or title of an event will highlight it. Clicking on the graphic symbol, date or title will open up the screen to reveal the text and graphic information about the event. If there is more than one screen of information about the event, the words Read More with an arrow appear at the bottom right of the screen. Clicking on either the words Read More or the arrow will take the user to the next screen. The timeline can be scrolled through by clicking on the arrows. Each of the six video clips is accompanied by a key quote from the interviewee. Christian Ministry in the Early Church In the early centuries we see very clearly the bond between the Eucharist and Church; the same person, namely the Bishop, presided over both. Expansion of the Church The role of the Priest, the role of the Bishop and the Church s understanding of the Eucharist as the church began to expand from the 4th century. Developments in the Theology of Eucharist The sacrament of the Mass - Medieval, Reformation and the Council of Trent. Transubstantiation An explanation of the doctrine of Transubstantiation in terms of relationships. Reforms of Vatican II Full, conscious active participation, the Bishop as the moderator of the liturgy and the presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Background to Liturgical Reform 19th and 20th century liturgical movements emerge from a patristic understanding of the liturgy, linked to the Sacrament of Baptism. Theological Reflections portrays one of the key aspects of Catholicism, that being that it is a theological tradition. This section contains seven video clips. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from the interviewee and text drawn from one of two essays - either from Theological Reflections on the Mass and on the Roman Missal or from Living a Eucharistic Life. The text can be accessed from the bottom right hand corner of the screen on which the video clip quote appears. Clicking on the words Read More or the arrow will bring up the next screen. To return to the previous screen, click on the reverse arrow. To close the text screen and return to the main page screen, click on the in the top right hand corner. 6

7 Exploring the Mass The complete essay in PDF format can be accessed from the footer of each video screen. The Received Tradition To receive this great gift [Eucharist] is what the privilege of living the life of faith is, and then to hand it on is our challenge and responsibility. Mystery Paschal Mystery, means everything that Jesus accomplished, especially his betrayal, his suffering, his ascension, as experienced in the liturgy of the Church, our Sacred Mysteries. We go to God Together Liturgy is not just the forms and the outline and the structure and the ritual and the words, but it is the people who engage in them. We go to God together. Word and Table The Latin says: taking part in the Eucharist, in the sacrifice, is the source and summit of the Church s life. Liturgical Catechesis Catechesis is to hand on the tradition in a way that is valuable and makes sense, and interface words and understandings with contemporary society that connect with people in this time and place. Human Work and God s Work Human work and God s work of redemption come together in the presenting of bread and wine, and these gifts become the Body and Blood of Christ, which is the Sacrament of our redemption. Sacred Signs We people who live on this earth, we who deal with the things of this earth, nourish our bodies with food, drink, water, clothe ourselves, take care of our bodies - all of that is part of what the Church uses for the sacred signs of the liturgy. The very things we use on this earth we use in liturgy. 7

8 User Guide Receiving This English Translation 2010, International Committee on English in the Liturgy, Inc. All rights reserved. Overview This section provides an overview of the history of translation, an explanation of the principles of translation and explanatory commentary on each of the text changes. The section opens with an introductory video clip which explores the themes of this section. Repeat users of this Resource who do not wish to replay the introductory video clip should click on the words Skip Intro. There are four sections within this pathway: The Translators Task, Issues of Translation, Changes to the Text and Challenges and Opportunities. The Translators Task provides the principles and background of translation. PRINCIPLES A primary reason for the new English version of the Roman Missal is that the Vatican has revised its principles of translation from Latin into the vernacular language. The Eucharist itself has not changed but the style of language has evolved. Four video clips comprise this sub-section. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from the interviewee. New Guidelines When we are celebrating the Mass and offering our prayers we are in the presence of God, and the language we want to use is not just common-day language, but language that is fitting to be addressed to God.

9 Receiving This English Translation Importance of Words Words are very important because they convey truth, they convey beauty, and they will convey something of the grandeur, the magnanimity, the greatness of God. The New Lingua Franca The encouragement from Rome of a single English version is based on the fact that English has become for many countries the basis from which they make their own translation. A New Approach The church s job is always to interface with the tradition, the dying and rising of Christ and our beliefs, our teachings, with contemporary society in ways and words that can make some sense. Different words have been used to relate the same faith in light of different circumstances. BACKGROUND This sub-section provides an overview of the history of translation comprising four video clips. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from an interviewee. The Missal: An Introduction The Roman Missal is well over two thousand texts; there are texts taken from different sources, all different times and places, cultures and forms of worship, and they are put together as the official prayer book of the Church at Mass. Previous Translations The principle of Dynamic Equivalence in the previous translations. Benefits of Hindsight A quest of finding the proper convergence between dynamic and formal equivalence. Imperfections The language of current translation is of an everyday character. Some circumstances are more formal and therefore require a more formal languages. Issues of Translation provides an explanation of the translators purpose and of the consultative task. There are three sub-sections: Intentions, Scripture and Process. INTENTIONS The Intentions sub-section explores the translators purpose through five video clips. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from an interviewee. 9

10 Receiving This English Translation Renewed Focus on Scripture In a sense this whole retranslation of the Missal is a profoundly biblical gesture; trying to give more of Scripture, the Word of God, to the life of the Church. Standard English With proper preparation those texts can be proclaimed. Inclusive Language There has been a huge increase in sensitivity to the way in which our language reflects and affects relationships between men and women - a work in progress. Silence We have become too verbose and have forgotten the power of ritual gesture, forgotten the power of ritual silence. Singing the Mass At this time we have the opportunity to consider our tradition, and to see particularly in the chant aspects of our tradition something that may be applied to our universal experience. SCRIPTURE The Scripture sub-section presents 43 Orations with their accompanying scripture foundations. In translating the Third Latin edition of the Roman Missal into English, the translators have been very conscious of clearly identifying and recovering the rich treasury drawn from Scripture. Moving over the titles of the Orations on the screen will highlight the Oration. Clicking on the title will reveal the full text of the Oration as well as its related scripture passage/s. Each Oration is illustrated with an appropriate image. The text of the scripture passage and that of the Oration are presented together on screen. It is intended that these texts be able to be used for personal/ group private prayer, or be able to be read aloud. If read aloud in a group, it is suggested that different voices could read the scripture text/s or the Orations. PROCESS The Process sub-section is designed to help the viewer understand the consultative task engaged in by several groups of experts, including scripture scholars, translators and Bishops. Three video clips comprise this sub-section. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from an interviewee. Review Process It is challenging because at least two-thirds of the Bishops have to agree on the text. it is an on-going process. but ultimately the entire text is sent to Rome for recognitio. 10

11 Receiving This English Translation The Role of ICEL The story of ICEL, its role today and relationship to the Holy See. The Translation Experience The art of translation from Latin to English as we ve undertaken it has been, I think, like dancing in chains, and the fact is you might not be able to move far, but you can dance beautifully. Changes to the Roman Missal Text is introduced with a video clip providing an overview about what has changed in the text. The texts of the 1973 and 2010 Order of the Mass are shown together on screen to illustrate the changes that have been made to the Roman Missal text in the Third English translation. The Order of Mass text is presented in context of its four part structure: Introductory Rites, Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist and Concluding Rite. The text of Eucharistic Prayer II is used. Expert commentary in the form of a video clip and/or text accompanies each of the new texts to explain the changes. Moving the cursor over each of the parts of the Mass highlights it. Clicking on the graphic image opens up a screen with both the 1973 and 2010 texts. Clicking on the word Commentary on the right reveals the expert commentary. Clicking on the in the top right hand corner closes the commentary screen, or clicking on the back to text button on the bottom right of the screen returns the viewer to the Order of the Mass screen. Challenges and Opportunities deals with the challenges faced by the translators of making the translation as accurate as possible and the opportunities the new translation presents for the Catholic community. There are six video clips in this sub-section. Each video clip is accompanied by a key quote taken from an interviewee. Insights of the Translators Language is fresh, language changes. Language has to communicate. You have to find the proper word that speaks to our generation, but is not limited to our generation. The Challenge of Change Change is always hard; we all have an opinion about how we would like to address things. Answering the Critics We are building on the first translation; there will be other translations in the future. Connecting with the Young How can we express these timeless truths which form the centre of our faith in ways that will make them accessible to young people? 11

12 Receiving This English Translation Inculturation Praying the one Roman Catholic liturgy should give us the opportunity to assert being universal and being local as well. Opportunities Arising from the New Translation It s passing on the language of the faith. Some of the vocabulary that is recovered within the new translation will make people more and more aware of their continuity with the whole Church s tradition. 12

13 User Guide Crafting the Art of Liturgy 2010, International Committee on English in the Liturgy, Inc. All rights reserved.

14 Crafting the Art of Liturgy Rediscovering the Art of Liturgy Because the liturgy is not only about communication, but also expression, the manner in which we celebrate the liturgy is of immense importance. Noble Simplicity The rites should be distinguished by a noble simplicity; they should be short, clear and unencumbered by useless repetitions; they should be within the people s powers of comprehension. (Sacrosanctum Concilium n.34) Liturgical Prayer considers how liturgical prayer is a combination of elements. Three video clips comprise this section. Each video clip is accompanied by text taken from the essay Presidential Prayers and Practice: Towards An Ars Celebrandi. The complete essay in PDF format can be accessed from the footer of each video screen. Act of the Whole Church The we of the liturgy is not just the community standing there celebrating Mass, it s much wider. It is understood to be the whole Church throughout the world. The Priest s Craft Know what you are doing and imitate the mystery you celebrate. A Received Liturgy What tradition says. It s not your choice. We know where we are and what we are doing. Liturgical Ministries addresses the roles of the Ordained Ministers and of the Liturgical Assembly. The Ministry of the Ordained comprises three video clips and accompanying text from the essay Liturgical Roles and Liturgical Ministry. The complete essay in PDF format can be accessed from the footer of each video screen. The Bishop The Second Vatican Council say that the Bishop is the vicar and legate of Christ, inviting us to appreciate the Bishop as the icon of Christ, the Good Shepherd, in the midst of his people. The Priest The Priest lives in the midst of his people, he has a relationship with them and develops that relationship. He is their pastor on a day to day, week by week basis. 14

15 Crafting the Art of Liturgy The Deacon The Deacon - transitional and permanent: ordained to serve. Roles of the Liturgical Assembly comprises five video clips and accompanying text from the essay Liturgical Roles and Liturgical Ministry. The Liturgical Assembly You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God s own people. (1 Peter 9) Acolytes and Lectors Lay liturgical ministers - formal and informal. Liturgical Musicians A ministry to and for the assembly - the one who sings well prays twice. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion A ministry - within the Eucharist and outside of it. Altar Servers and Readers Their ministry helps the people to be attentive. Art in the Liturgy explores the contribution to liturgy of human actions, words and silence. There are three video clips in this section and each video clip is accompanied by a key quote from the interviewee: Bringing Beauty to the Liturgy The manner in which we celebrate the liturgy is of immense importance. We are susceptible to beauty and truth. This clip includes two case studies - the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Los Angeles and the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Hamilton, New Zealand. Speech, Rhythm and Silence The style of liturgical speech - rhythm and silence. The complete essay Presidential Prayers and Practice: Towards An Ars Celebrandi in PDF format can be accessed from the footer of the video screen.
