RESOURCES FOR THE NEW EDITION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL
Become One Body One Spirit in Christ
This Interactive DVD explores the depth, richness and layers of meaning of the liturgical texts of the Roman Missal. Produced by Fraynework Multimedia and published by Veritas in September 2010 for Ireland , it is based on five foundational essays which provide the themes and pathways of this resource, using video, text, graphics and music to help the user enrich their understanding and deepen their appreciation of the Eucharist.
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), as approved for the dioceses of Ireland , was published in 2005. It is a translation of the Institutio Generalis issued with the Missale Romanum, editio typica in 2002.
Celebrating the Mystery of Faith
This study guide to the Mass, based on GIRM, was put together by a team from the National Centre for Liturgy and was first published in 2005. An updated reprint was issued on 3 February 2011 . It is a study book for priests, on their own or in groups, for liturgy teams, for ministers of the Word, music and Communion, for parishes and for all who want to better understand this mysterium fidei, the Eucharist.
The New Missal: Explaining the Changes
Launched 3 February 2011 , The New Missal: Explaining the Changes has been put together by the National Centre for Liturgy to provide an explanation of why we have a new edition of the Missal and to explore the changes to texts that we will experience in a new translation of its prayers.
Celebrating the Mass Throughout the Year
Published by Veritas and launched at the 42nd annual sumer school of the Irish Church Music, 4 July 2011. This book has been produced by the National Centre for Liturgy and offers an overview and commentary on celebrating the Mass throughout the Liturgical Year. Texts like Collects and Prefaces, using the translation of the new edition of the Missal and illustrating our journey through the year are included.
O Sacred Banquet
O Sacred Banquet is subtitled Revitalising the Sunday Celebration of the Eucharist. Its 28 pages offer a powerful statement on the Eucharist. It was drafted for the Bishops’ Conference by the national Liturgy and Theology Commissions and is based on the sentence of St Leo the Great preaching on the feast of the Ascension: what was in Christ has passed into the mysteries [the liturgy].
International Eucharistic Congress
The preparation for the new edition of the Roman Missal takes place as we also prepare for the International Eucharistic Congress, to be held in June 2012. Many resources for the Congress will serve as resources for an understanding of the Eucharist and its celebration. www.iec2012.ie
