Dear Parishioners, It is with many mixed emotions that I write to tell you that I will retire from ministry effective October 1. Some of you may know that my husband has been experiencing some health issues. After many conversations with Fr. Bill over the past months I have decided that it is time, after over 30 years in ministry and the business world, to once again devote myself to being full time wife, mom and grandmother. I am grateful to Fr. Bill for giving me the opportunity to minister as Pastoral Associate of Catechetics and to have shared this ministry with all the priests and staff of OLP. I am fortunate to have ministered with an amazing staff of ladies in the Catechetical Office: Karen Parenti, Terri Woodard, Kathy Brady, Anne Mendez and Joanne Fezza. Their professionalism and skill contributes to a beautifully well-run Religious Education Program for our parish families. I am grateful, too, to our dedicated and faith filled-team of almost 40 catechists who week after week, often year after year, follow Christs command to pass on our Catholic faith to the youth of our parish. I have come to love Our Lady of Peace as my parish and you will continue to see me at Mass, as lector, and as member of a small Christian prayer group. And who knows what else God may have in store for me. Please keep me in prayer as I transition into this next stage of life. Be assured of a place in my prayer for all of you. Sincerely in Christ,

On November 27, 2011, the English speaking Catholic Church in the United States will begin using a new translation of the prayers that are used at Mass. This bulletin insert begins the third set of announcements being published in parish bulletins to help parishes prepare for this coming change. Please check the bulletin regularly for more information.
What will the new translation sound like? Because of the more literal approach to translation from Latin into English, the third typical edition of the Roman Missal will sound noticeably different than what we are currently used to. It will be particularly challenging for priests who are accustomed to the current prayers and may have memorized many of them over the years. Practice will be required for the clergy to be able to pray the texts and not just read them at Mass. The assembly will also need to pay special attention to the prayers being prayed at Mass. This will certainly provide an opportunity to refocus on the words that are used at liturgy; to reflect more deeply on what we are saying and who we are saying it to. It will raise everyones awareness of the meaning of the words rather than simply repeating them by rote. Most church-going Catholics are understandably curious as to what will change for them. Some of the changes are quite significant. Instead of responding, And also with you, as they do now, they will respond, And with your spirit, which is a literal translation of et cum spiritu tuo. During the Gloria, the people will sing Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will instead of the current Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth. The Creed will begin I believe instead of We believe and will make use of the word consubstantial instead of one in being (with the Father). At the invitation to Communion, the people will now respond, Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed. On Sundays, many of the peoples parts containing the changes are normally sung such as the Gloria and the Holy, Holy. Singing these parts will make it easier to get used to the changes. The US Bishops Committee on Divine Worship has established a website to assist with the implementation of the third typical edition of the Roman Missal which includes a section worth visiting with all of the specific changes for the people at Mass. (See www.usccb.org/romanmissal/ or www.RomanMissalNewark.org) The website also has the translation of the four main Eucharistic Prayers which Mass-goers are encouraged to review before they are put into regular use at Mass. Bishop Arthur Serratelli, the chair of the Bishops Committee on Divine Worship, has worked tirelessly to explain the forthcoming changes and assist dioceses in preparing for the implementation of the new translation. In a recent article on the subject, he writes: The texts may be unfamiliar now, but the more one understands their meaning, the more meaningful their use will be in the liturgyTo pray with and reflect on these words will help us all to open our hearts to the mysteries the texts express. Catholics ought to take some time now to look at these texts so that when they are ready for use in the liturgy, they will be able to participate in the Mass fully, consciously and actively without being distracted by the initial unfamiliarity of the texts. Over the course of the next seven weeks, excerpts containing the changes to the peoples parts will be printed in parish bulletins. Please check back weekly to familiarize yourself with the new responses for use by the people. These new texts will also be printed and made available in churches for people beginning November 27, 2011, until everyone gets used to the new language and commits it to memory.

GOSPEL
TODA Y
SEPTEMBER 18, 2011 MATTHEW 20:1-16
Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to the vineyard - the rewards are equal for all regardless of when the workers begin, or the faithful respond to the call of Jesus. The landowner went out at dawn to hire workers. The first workers agreed on a daily wage. Later in the day the next workers agreed to a just, or fair wage. The last workers only worked 1 hour. Though all the workers started at different times, the landowner paid them the same. Upon receiving the same daily wage, the workers who were in the vineyard all day were envious. The landowner said, Take what I promised and go. I am free to be generous with my money.
