Follow on Google News | RENEW International Helps Parishes Welcome the New Edition of the Roman MissalThe Third Edition of the Roman Missal will be introduced in this Advent. RENEW International has created a faith-sharing resource called "Lifting Up Our Hearts: Praying with the Third Edition of the Roman Missal" to guide parishioners on the changes.
By: Deirdre Malacrea On November 27, 2011, the first Sunday of Advent, all Catholic parishes in the United States will adopt the Third Edition of the Roman Missal, the ritual text containing prayers and instructions for the celebration of the Mass. Lifting Up Our Hearts: Praying with the Third Edition of the Roman Missal takes advantage of this “teaching moment” to deepen Catholics’ appreciation of the liturgy. Through prayerful reflection on the coming changes to the people's parts of the Mass, Catholics will be led to a deeper understanding of the meaning of the Mass. RENEW International’ “Lifting Up Our Hearts is about the new responses, but it’s also about what happens at Mass and how it connects to what we do outside of church and beyond Sunday morning. This faith-sharing opportunity renews parishioners’ This resource was written for RENEW International by Dr. Peter J. Zografos, noted liturgical theologian and presenter for the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions. Most Reverend Arthur J. Serratelli, Bishop of Paterson and Chairman of the Committee on Divine Worship for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, wrote in the Foreword: “We are now given a special opportunity to deepen our appreciation of the gift of the liturgy itself. This is what Lifting Up Our Hearts does.” Each of the six sessions of the faith-sharing book addresses a different part of the Mass and includes a Scripture passage, reflections, prayer, song suggestions, and faith-sharing questions. Each participant’ RENEW International makes it easy to implement the changes in parishes with a variety of invitational tools and resources including music CDs, buttons, and customizable posters and flyers. Small community leaders may experience web-based training to learn more about Lifting Up Our Hearts and the resources available.
