Liturgiam Authenticam
New principles of translation
formal over dynamic equivalence
weight placed on words over sentences
May these, and all who sleep in Christ,
find in your presence
light, happiness, and peace.
Ipsis, Domine, et omnibus in Christo quiescentibus,
locum refrigerii, lucis et pacis,
ut indulgeas, deprecamur.
Grant them, O Lord, we pray,
and all who sleep in Christ,
a place of refreshment, light and peace.
Concerns
over-simplification - how do you translate liturgical prayer
for proclamation?
loss of meaning and nuance
the position of English
lex orandi ~ lex credendi

Qui hominem pietatis tuae dono
creatum
ad tantam voluisti dignitatem extolli,
ut in viri mulierisque consortio
veram relinqueres tui amoris imaginem
quem enim ex caritate creasti
eum ad caritatis legem vocare non
desinis
ut aeternae tuae caritatis participem
esse concedas.
Cuius connubii sancti mysterium
dum tuae dilectionis signum exsistit,
amorem sacrat humanum:
•
You created man in love to share your
divine life.
We see his high destiny in the love of
husband and wife,
which bears the imprint of your own
divine love.
Love is man’s origin,
love is his constant calling,
love is his fulfillment in heaven.
The love of man and woman
is made holy in the sacrament of
marriage,
and becomes the mirror of your
everlasting love.

For you willed that the human race,
created by the gift of your goodness,
should be raised to such high dignity
that in the union of husband and wife
you might bestow a true image of your
love.
For those you created out of charity you
call to the law of charity without ceasing
and grant them a share in your eternal
charity.
And so, the Sacrament of holy Matrimony,
as the abiding sign of your own love,
consecrates the love of man and woman,

Looking at the Text
Process
look at text for ourselves
consider implications for school liturgy
Their purpose is to ensure that the faithful, who come together
as one, establish communion and dispose themselves
properly to listen to the Word of God and to celebrate the
Eucharist worthily. [girm 46]

Looking ahead
The Priest then takes the paten or ciborium and approaches the
communicants, who usually come up in procession
It is not permitted for the faithful to take the consecrated Bread or
the sacred chalice by themselves and, still less, to hand them on
from one to another among themselves. In the Dioceses of
England and Wales Holy Communion is to be received standing,
though individual members of the faithful may choose to receive
Communion while kneeling. However, when they communicate
standing, it is recommended that the faithful bow in reverence
before receiving the Sacrament
