One of our priests changes two words, at all of the masses he celebrates, during the Eucharistic Prayer as follows: “*On the night he was betrayed, *Jesus *took bread” (*in place of 'he took bread’. And, again: "*Again he gave you thanks and praise, gave the cup to his *friends (in place of 'gave the cup to his *disciples’. *When a few of the ladies in my bible sharing group expressed concern, I asked Father about it and he stated that it is allowed in the Children’s Mass; therefore, it may be used in other Masses. We accepted this out of respect for our priest but we wonder: Is this good theology?:confused: ? Where can I find it written in Church teaching.

The priest should use the exact words printer in the Sacramentary. Which he should be reading from during the Mass. Changing these words does not invalidate anything. It is however illicit for him to do this.
