Friends vs. Disciples

[Elzee]

I’ve heard this at a children’s Mass, also. I think it’s silly…another way to “dumb down” the words we use at Mass as opposed to teaching children the meaning of the word “disciple”.

Next thing you know, we’ll have to use the words “one in being” as opposed to “consubstantial” because we can’t teach adults the meaning of words, either!

I have “the second typical edition of the Missale Romanum (1975), March 1, 1985, for use in the diocese of the United States of America. Published by Authority of the Bishop’s Committee on the Liturgy, National Conference of Catholic Bishops.” It was published by Catholic Book Publishing Corp., N.Y.

Reconciliation 1 says: “He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said” and then “Again he gave you thanks, handed the cup to his friends, and said” on page 1124.

I looked in the Sacramentary at the parish this morning. R1 says Disciples, then Friends. R2 says Disciples in both places.
I forgot to look at the publication date.

Yeah, that’s right. Then we’re in agreement.
