This time of preparation for the new Roman Missal provides the perfect opportunity to delve more deeply into the liturgy -- a time to reflect on what it is that we're doing and why we're doing it. The new Missal is the Catholic Church's next step in carrying out the directives of the Second Vatican Council which called for the "full, conscious and active participation" of all the faithful in the liturgy."


The Vatican Website


The texts of the third Roman Missal are the first Mass texts since the Second Vatican Council that have been created according to a different theory of translation -- that of Liturgiam Authenticam.



United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)


The USCCB maintains a webpage dedicated to the implementation of the new Roman Missal. This is the first place to go for official information regarding the new Missal.
