by Michael Sharkey<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, towards the end of 2016, I sat down at my desk and tried to disentangle and rework the text of some of the Masses of the 2010 edition of the Roman Missal, which had been normative since Advent 2011. My aim was to re-order the words and phrases into a more natural English flow, modernise some of the vocabulary (e.g. change wondrous<\/em> to wonderful<\/em>), and replace merit<\/em> with made worthy<\/em>. When I received an invitation to have supper with my Archbishop, I took half a dozen Masses with me, showed them to him, and received encouragement to continue the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the 2010 translation as normative for meaning,<\/em> so with the latin text on one side, the 1998 translation on the other, and the breviary containing the Glenstal Abbey collects at hand, I set to work after the manner of a sub-editor to produce a clear and even elegant revision, with due attention not only to accuracy, but also to the way the words fall from the mouth of the celebrant and land on the ears of the congregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you introduce each prayer with \u201cLet us pray\u201d, and you bring the divine name \u2013 Lord, Almighty God, ever-living God, – to the beginning of a prayer, and drop the merely rhetorical \u201cwe pray\u201d, the opening phrase flows without interruption. For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st<\/sup> Sunday of Advent Collect begins:
Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God, the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suggest:
Almighty God, grant your faithful people the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prayer over the Offeringsbegins:
Accept, we pray, O Lord, these offerings we make…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suggest:
O Lord, accept these offerings we make…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then some tweaking, e.g. Line 3 of the 2nd Eucharistic Prayer \u201cMake holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray\u201d becomes \u201cTherefore, we pray, make these gifts holy\u201d; 16th<\/sup> Sunday \u201cmade fervent in hope, faith and charity\u201d which is the order in the latin text, but we are accustomed to \u201cmade fervent in faith, hope and charity\u201d. In the same Mass the last line reads \u201cto pass from former ways to newness of life\u201d, whereas I suggest \u201cto pass from the old to a new way of life.\u201d Lots of little things like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Order of Saints I suggest replacing \u201cthe blessed N.\u201d with \u201cSaint N.\u201d and \u201cthe blessed apostles (s), martyr(s)\u201d with \u201cthe holy apostle(s), martyr(s)\u201d in accord with our long-standing usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some oddities to be corrected,\nthough. The Mass in the UK for St Bridget of Sweden, 23rd<\/sup> July,\ncontains the Offertory and Post-Communion prayers drawn from the Common of Holy\nMen and Women which celebrate \u201cthe New Man\u201d. I am familiar with the model of\n\u201cthe Old Man in Adam and the New Man in Christ\u201d, but in celebrating a saintly\nwoman I suggest that \u201chumanity renewed\u201d be more appropriate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Edith Stein (Sister Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, the great philosopher of womanhood, converted in 1922 from atheism to Catholicism she rediscovered her Jewishness. The collect for her Mass on 9th August alludes to that by beginning \u201cGod of our Fathers<\/em>\u201d. I suggest \u201cGod of the Patriarchs<\/em>\u201d, though I would prefer \u201cGod of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob\u201d, but that might be going too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have included the antiphons in my revision, keeping the sense of the latin, but restoring familiar words and phrases. Also, in a few instances, I have replaced a literal translation of the latin with an established idiom, e.g. \u201cstrength of mind\u201d instead of \u201cspirit of fortitude\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In due course I submitted my proposed revision of the Roman Missal to the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and received a warm acknowledgment from the Chair of the Liturgy Commission. The bishops then met in the autumn on 2017. And nothing happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Copyright\nof the Missal lies with the International Commission on English in the Liturgy\n(ICEL). I sensed that if I made my suggestions public in any way ICEL would\nshut me down immediately. However, I thought that I could send my texts to all\nthe bishops of the eleven founding conferences of ICEL, since they are ICEL’s\nmasters. And so I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Email\nis a wonderful invention, but I have found that if you copy an email to more\nthan one address, the recipients’ computers often immediately identify it as spam.\nSo while my peers in the priesthood used their spare time for geriatric golf or\nthe contemplation of imminent eschatological realities, I sent my folder of\nfiles to each bishop individually, more than 500 of them. It took quite a while\nto find their email addresses and to attach all the files. I received a number\nof acknowledgments, a few comments, and some enthusiasm, especially from New\nZealand. Then I learned that at the autumn 2018 meeting of ICEL in Washington\nthere had been some discussion and, while there was no great call for a\nrevision of the Missal as a whole, there would be some interest in revising the\ncollects. Accordingly, the ICEL bishops were to meet in Rome in February 2019\nduring the plenarium of the Congregation for Divine Worship to discuss with\nPope Francis the extent of Magnum Principium<\/em> and then hold their regular\nspring meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And nothing happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been told that there are two reasons why my attempt has come to nothing. The first is financial. The production of the 1998 and 2010 translations was extremely expensive, and the bishops are reluctant to commit to further expenditure. The second is the that sexual abuse crisis and the need for safeguarding have rightly taken priority at the episcopal conferences in recent years and have absorbed and even exhausted the bishops’ energies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the text of the 2010 translation was presented to Vox Clara (in 2008, I think), Abbot Cuthbert Johnson said that while it was an accurate translation of the latin, it needed to be handed over to a wordsmith or a poet for a final polish. (He actually had Seamus Heaney in mind.) This suggestion was rejected as it went beyond the remit of Vox Clara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a long time since the Constitution on the Liturgy was published at Vatican II, 4th December 1963. Paragraph 34 states, \u201cThe rites should be distinguished by a noble simplicity. They should be short, clear, and free from useless repetitions. They should be within the people’s powers of comprehension, and normally should not require much explanation.\u201d I do not claim to have produced a perfect revision, but I do think that I have made a start. To that end I have now sent my folder of files directly to ICEL in the hope that it may be of service to someone in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
