TORONTO - Not every region in the English-speaking dioceses across the world currently uses the exact same texts during Mass, said Gregory Beath of the archdiocese of Toronto鱿鱼视频app Office of Formation for Discipleship.

But with the introduction of the new Roman Missal, that will change.

鈥淭his is the first time that we will have across the world a standard English translation of the Roman Missal,鈥� he said.

Speaking to an audience of about 30 people Nov. 9, Beath gave a presentation on the new Roman Missal at the Chancery Office of the archdiocese of Toronto. The third edition of the Missal is effective the first Sunday of Advent, Nov. 27.

Since it鱿鱼视频app become a popular choice for those in other countries to learn English, the Vatican was concerned about standard English, said Beath.

While communities that have strong roots in the Latin language, like Italian and Spanish, will probably have a lot of scholars in the Church that work with Latin regularly and help translate between Latin and those receiving languages, there are many languages that may not.

In these cases, since people are more likely to translate from the English translation, the Vatican wanted it to be as exact as possible, he said.

鈥淭he Vatican鱿鱼视频app concern is that they don鈥檛 want anything to get lost in translation,鈥� said Beath.

And English lacks specific words to mean the same thing which the Latin uses in the original text, said Beath, referencing information from a presentation by Fr. Bill Burke, director of the National Liturgy Office for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.

One example can be found in the third preface for the Rite of Marriage, he said. Latin uses five different words as synonyms: pietas, which is the love a parent has for a child; consortia, which designates the companionship of two people sharing a life; amor, which is closely rendered 鈥渓ove鈥� in English; caritas, which is a nobler form of love captured by the English cognate 鈥渃harity鈥�; and dilectio, which is related to the English word 鈥渄elight.鈥�

The new Missal will also be more singable, he told the audience.

鈥淭he liturgy lends itself to being sung so you鈥檒l notice that some of the prayers will be more singable and we鈥檝e encouraged priests to sing the preface and sing the doxology.鈥�

VATICAN CITY - Believing in Christ's resurrection means that no matter how difficult life gets, one believes that love and goodness are far more powerful than hatred and evil, Pope Benedict XVI said.

TORONTO - I鈥檝e come to know, over the last few years of teaching at Regis College in Toronto, that if I want to understand something well, my best strategy is to teach it. And so, about a year ago, as we in the Canadian Church began to receive reports of the progress of the Canadian edition of the new Roman Missal while it went through the approval process, I proposed a six-week continuing education course to the college administration as a support to the efforts of the archdiocese of Toronto to prepare for the arrival of the new Missal.

Through the months of research and teaching 鈥� I鈥檝e now taught the course in the six-week format, as an online course and in a one-day workshop form 鈥� I鈥檝e realized that what excites my students is not so much the English translation we will receive on the first Sunday of Advent, but rather some key developments in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal. I am convinced that these developments are the most important treasure of the new Missal.
