The Emmaus Vocation Journey If you ever ponder the question in your heart...Am I being called to the priesthood?, then this group is for you. We invite the Lord to walk with us and through prayer, reflection and discussion in the presence of facilitators and others who are discerning you have a chance to delve further into the mystery of Christ’s calling for you. The discernment course takes place over four Saturdays mornings in October, November, December and February and one weekend in January. The meetings take place in Dublin city centre and the weekend in St Patricks Seminary Maynooth. There is no cost involved in taking part. The Emmaus Vocation Journey is designed to allow the participants to form a kind of faith-community, in which each person will be supported by the others in the process of discernment. For that reason, participants are invited to make a commitment to the whole programme. For more information: www.priest.ie/news How to apply? If you would like to take part in this course please contact: Fr Eamonn at 086 8346071 or vocations@dublindiocese.ie

NEW EDITION OF ROMAN MISSAL Is the Mass changing? The structure of the Mass is not changing. Its order and the actions of the Mass remain unchanged. The readings at Mass are not changed. However, with the introduction of the new edition of Roman Missal we will notice a change in how the Mass sounds. The translations of a significant number of our prayer texts from the original Latin have changed - sometimes by just a change in a particular word or in the word order. Prayers that we have become used to reciting by memory will need to be relearned. Prayers that we are used to hearing the priest say will sound different to us. The style of language we will hear and pray may seem more formal to us and perhaps, in parts, more complex. But over time, with the praying of these texts, the sound of the Mass will again become familiar to us.
When will we be using the new edition of the Roman Missal? The texts of the new edition of the Roman Missal are being introduced in two phases to avoid too much change happening at once. From the second Sunday of September many dioceses will begin to use the new translations of the people’s prayers and responses at Mass, for example, the Confiteor, the Gloria and the Creed. These texts will be in missalettes and on congregational cards when people come to Mass. From the First Sunday of Advent the new translations of the prayers of the Mass that are led by the priest will come into use, for example, the Collect or opening prayer and the Eucharistic Prayer. The Third Edition of the Roman Missal, therefore, will be fully implemented on the First Sunday of Advent. prepared by the National Centre for Liturgy
