Roman Missal Third Edition
Scripture and the Mass
Based upon Roman Missal Formational Materials provided by the Secretariat
for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, "2010.
It is clear that Sacred Scripture has a revered and
important place in the eucharistic Liturgy.
Every Mass
includes a Liturgy of the Word.
The main elements of the
Liturgy of the Word are biblical readings and the singing
of a psalm.
The Liturgy of the Word reaches its high point
in the proclamation of the Gospel.
However, the use of Scripture in the Mass does not end
when the Liturgy of the Word has finished.
In fact, the
words of Scripture flow throughout the prayers of them
Mass.
One of the goals of the new translation of the
Missal was to make clearer the links between the prayers
of the Mass and the text of Scripture.
Some of the most
noticeable changes reflect the words of the Bible more
clearly.
Let‟s take a look at some of these changes.
