** During our Mass when we say;**
May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands, for the praise and glory of his name, for our good, and the good of all his Church.
A Nun behind us replaces “his” with “God’s” and “the”.
**Is this OK!:confused: **
 
Those aren’t the words you’ll find in the missal. However…there isn’t much you can do to control other people. The best thing you can do is ignore it.

What if the Nun is the Pastoral Assistant?

So what if she is?

You have minimal choices here. You can get all worked up about the fact that she’s not saying the words as they’re printed. And then what? You can say something to her but she’ll probably continue doing what she’s doing. And then what?

Or you can ignore her and be at peace.

No, it’s not. Perhaps the nun doesn’t know it’s not her prerogative to change the words of the Mass; perhaps she does know, but does it because she finds masculine language for God offensive. Her gripe is with Jesus and his Church in that case. 😦

I don’t know how I would bring the topic up. It might be easier if you simply mention to your pastor that you’ve heard some people (without naming names) saying the wrong things at Mass, and ask if there’s some way the pastor could mention that and remind the faithful to be faithful to the prayers of the Mass.
