Today, on the feast of St. Leo the Great, pope of the church in the fifth century, I decided to use the new sacramentary during morning mass. There were just a few parishioner's and I think they were okay with me starting a little early than November 27th. I don't want do it 'cold turkey' on the first Sunday of Advent without some practice and familiarity with the new translation. So, I decided today would be as good as any to start.
For the most part, it still feels like the mass, and not a whole lot has changed. It will take a little getting used to, but the parishioner's who were there seemed to be okay with it. Change is never easy, but I feel better knowing, as a universal church, we are all using the same translation. I still wonder how well this will take place in other diocese's? I guess time will tell.
