Revised Roman Missal Reflection

Wednesday, 15 February 2012 10:21 Written by Angela Schmidt

It has been a few months since the changes of the New Roman Missal have been implemented.  In some places these changes have taken root, in others, they are still finding their way into the soil.  Whatever the case may be, take a moment to reflect on the changes that have occurred.  You can do this as a personal reflection or as a small group.

- What has affected you the most?

- What remains a challenge for you personally?

- What remains a challenge for your parish?

- What do you find encouraging?

For the catechist:

Continual liturgical catechesis is important for the faithful.

The materials that were prepared to introduce the Roman Missal changes are still of use.  Many of them went to great lengths to creatively break open the rites, prayers and words of the Mass.  They not only give comparisons to what we once prayed, but provide catechetical insight into what we now pray.  You may want to take a moment to review these important meanings in your catechetical sessions.

A good resource is the “What’s New...” booklets from LTP.  Participant books and leader guides are available for different age groups.
