Good point, Drforjc. I’ve always seen it “your hands” as well. But who knows what goes on in some churches? 😃

What a wonderful list of reasons to pray in Latin!

I have to agree completely!!
 
I dunno…the slight change of words without change of meaning (which I don’t think occured in this case) makes me think about what I’m saying more, and does clarify I think…otherwise some prayers can slip by too easily, and as someone once said 'if I’m not paying attention, why should He?"

In our US translation (via ICEL) the response is not “Lord, accept the sacrifice at his hands…”

it is “May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands, for the praise and glory of His name, for our good and for the good of all His church.”

Good point. The text in Latin reads:
“Suscìpiat Dòminus sacrificium de mànibus **tuis **ad laudem et glòriam nòminis sui, ad utilitàtem quoque nostram totiùsque Ecclèsiae suae sanctae.”

The pronouns in bold print (emphasis added) are “your” and “His”, respectively. The meaning is pretty clear.
 
You someone point me to an online sacramentary?

I suppose you are right… Still, the pronoun references are strange. It’s difficult to capture the meaning properly - it’s easy to see with “His” and “his” on paper.
 
I went to daily mass at St. Francis Xavier Church in St. Louis Ulast week and had that phrase yelled in my ear behind me by two old women and a 50 something effeminate male. I later found out the two women were nuns- and they defiantly stood during the eucharistic prayer and consecration. However, all of the students present for the mass kneeled so I guess there is hope after all.

There was a group of women at daily Mass one day last week, who started to do the responses very loudly in inclusive language. The celebrant (bless his heart), stopped, stared them down and announced what the correct responses were, then started over. They fell into line (thankfully). Could have been dicey. . . but it worked.
