Eucharistic prayer question

[decn2b]

We had a visiting priest (gave a pro homosexual behvior homily) today in absence of our priest. At the moment of the Eucharistic prayer today he stopped and grabbed a thin red book and said “today we are going to use the New Eucharistic prayers”

Does anyone know what these prayers are, if they are indeed new and where can I find a copy of them.

THey didn’t seem quite right… a little new agey.

 

[AlexV]

The 2002 Missal now prints 13 prayers in the official Latin text.

In English, some of the newest ones are in a red softcover book.

So, yes, they have been approved (however regrettably). He was probably using one of the so-called Eucharistic Prayers for Various Needs.

Of course, his little words of explanation beforehand show that he has a rather poor sense of liturgy.

 

[Cavaille-Coll]

Even if he was reading from approved texts, chances are he was changing some of the words. I’d love to see only one Eucharistic prayer permitted: the Roman Canon. We’d never have to hear “friends” substituted for “disciples.”
