LITURGY CHANGES COMING – 7 During the Liturgy of the Word, the only change in the assembly’s words is found in the Profession
of Faith. The sentence structure has been changed to match the sentence structure in the Latin. For example, in the Apostles’ Creed,
instead of nine sentences in the present text, we will have three sentences in the new text, to match the number of sentences in the
Latin text. This has been done so that the connections between each article of the Creed are more fully expressed. In the Apostles’
Creed, the current words: He descended to the dead have been translated: he descended into hell. The word “hell” translates the Latin
phrase: ad inferos. It does not refer to the place of the damned, or the abode of Satan. Rather, it refers to the dwelling place of the
righteous who died before Christ. The Risen Lord descended to this place to draw these people up to share in his victory over sin and
death. Many Eastern icons beautifully express this doctrine by depicting the Risen Lord, standing on top of the grave, reaching down
to pull Adam and Eve by the hand and raise them to share in his glorious victory. In the Nicene Creed, there are a few significant word
changes. First of all, the prayer begins with: I believe, instead of: We believe. The new translation matches the Latin: Credo. Even
though the Nicene Creed originally began with “We believe” it has traditionally begun with “I believe” when used in the liturgy. St.
Thomas Aquinas explains it this way: when we pray in the liturgy, we pray as one body. Therefore, “I believe” is fitting. Three other
new words or phrases appear in the Nicene Creed. The only Son of the Father now reads: the Only-Begotten Son, born of the Father
before all ages. This translates the Latin: Filium Deo Unigenitum and makes clear the unique sonship of Christ. We are all adopted sons
and daughters by virtue of our baptism. Christ is the only-begotten Son of the Father. The second new word is “consubstantial”.
Instead of saying: one in being with the Father, we will say: consubstantial with the Father. This translates the Latin: consubstantialem
Patri, and expresses the true divinity of Christ. Finally, instead of saying: by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary,
we will say: and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary. This translates the Latin: Et incarnatus est de Spiritus Sancto ex
Maria Virgine. The word “incarnate” is an important theological word which expresses our belief in the humanity of Christ and echoes
the words of the prologue of St. John’s Gospel: And the Word became flesh and lived among us (John 1.14). During the Preparation of
the Gifts, the words of the priest have been slightly altered. However, the only change in the assembly’s responses is found in the last
line of the concluding prayer. The word “holy” has been added to match the Latin text: Ecclesiae suae sanctae. May the Lord accept the
sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good, and the good of all his holy Church.

MARRIAGE TIP OF THE MONTH -Tip #36 – In the fall we de-clutter – we look through our material goods, let go of things that are
not useful and keep those we need and love. Sometimes relationships need to be de-cluttered too! Look closely at how you interact
with your spouse: keep what is working, what connects you and what you love about your relationship and let go of the non-useful
“stuff.” Are you in the habit of complaining, using sarcasm, acting moody, or spending too much time away from each other? Love is a
choice; choose to de-clutter harmful actions and spend more time on those things that connect you and deepen your love.
